... So you’ve just had your oak floor fitted and you have sealed
it with oil, and for some unknown reason there are now black marks on
the boards. This occurs when the tannin in oak touches a wet or acidic
environment and it causes a chemical reaction which leads to dark
discolouration. The discolouration is caused by the following equation:
Gallic acid + water + iron (III) iron (III) –gallate + acid
At Art of Clean we understand how a well finished floor can set off a
whole room, giving your floorboards a new lease of life and increasing

With changing trends many people are going back to choosing hardwood floors over carpet in their homes. There are many benefits, they're easier to clean, more resistant to spills, don't harbor allergenic material....and most of all they look stylish!
We recently completed work on a floor that needed total restoration. It was found, hidden under old carpet and and paint in quite a state. This required a lot of work but the results were very satisfying. And if you have ever tried to do this yourself you will understand what I mean a by a LOT of work.
They wanted the entire floor sanded and oiled to give it a rustic look.
Firstly we had to remove all the paint and sanded the boards right back to remove all the build up of dirt, grime and previous seals revealing the wood in all its glory. Some areas were so damaged they needed replacement.
Here you can see Pierre finishing the boards with a hand sander.
And here you can see the transformation after the sanding and repair work is completed.
Following this Paul applied the oil to protect the boards.
