Care & Maintenance
Routine Cleaning
Clean the floor with WOCA Natural Soap and warm water using a damp mop up to once a week. Routine cleaning with
WOCA Natural Soap is an essential part of maintaining the floor’s finish. Failure to properly maintain the floor will void
the warranty.
Natural Soap White is recommended for light wood species, while Natural Soap Natural is ideal for dark wood. The
solution cleans the floor, strengthens the finish, and increases water resistance. The cleaning agents are emollients
extracted from soy beans and coconut oil, which clean the floor and also retain moisture in the floor (just as quality
soap would for your hands). As the emollients dry and form an invisible film on the surface, the floor receives added
protection against wear and dirt.
To clean the floor, you’ll need the Natural Soap, two buckets, and a cotton mop. Do not use a micro-fiber mop on the
floor.
• Shake the Natural Soap carefully before use
• To make the cleaning solution, mix a ¼ cup of Natural Soap per gallon of lukewarm water.
• Work with 2 buckets: one with soapy water and one with rinse water.
• Clean the floor with as little water as possible. Always use a wrung-out mop to wipe the floor with soapy water in
order to re-establish the protective Natural Soap film. Leave soapy water on the floor briefly to dissolve dirt.
• Remove dirty soapy water with a hard wrung-out mop and rinse out in bucket of rinse water. The moisture from the
dampened mop should evaporate off the floor very quickly.
Never use a steam mop or wet-mop as standing water may cause permanent damage. Excessive moisture will dull the
finish and could lead to a cupped floor.

Refreshing
WOCA Oil Refresher should be used for regular cleaning and maintenance of oiled wood floors. Refresh the floor with
WOCA Oil Refresher two to four times a year.
Oil Refresher Natural is typically used for natural oiled and color oiled floors and Oil Refresher White is for white oiled
wood. Oil Refresher combines efficient cleaning with simultaneous re-oiling. The oil penetrates into the wood and
provides the surface with a protective matte film. The use of Oil Refresher will extend the life of the oil finish and is
an essential part of maintaining the Floor. Failure to properly maintain the floor with will void the warranty.
To refresh the floor, you’ll need the Oil Refresher Natural, two buckets, and a cotton mop. Do not use a micro-fiber
mop on the floor.
1. Ensure that all dust and debris is removed from the floor.
2. Shake the bottle of Oil Refresher well before use.
3. To make the refresher solution, mix 3/8 cup of WOCA Oil Refresher per gallon of water.
4. Work with 2 buckets: one the refresher solution and one with rinse water.
5. It is recommended to clean an area of approximately 50 square feet at a time. By doing it this way, the floor is only
exposed to moisture for a short period.
6. Dip the mop into the mixture and with the well wrung mop wipe lengthwise on the wood. Then clean the mop head
in the rinse water, wring very well, and continue until the whole floor is cleaned.
7. Leave the floor to dry for approximately two hours before use.
So as not to develop unwanted oil buildup, it is recommended that cleaning with WOCA Soap and Oil Refresher be
alternated so that Oil Refresher is not used more than four times a year.
