Hard wax oil or lacquer? Which one do I choose for my hardwood floor?

We have recently been contacted by a customer, enquiring about what finish she should use to protect her hard wood floors and I thought I would share with you our advice.

As this is quite a common question our customers ask us at Art of Clean, professional floor cleaners in Cambridge, the advice we gave was, it really depends on the type of finish you would like to achieve.  At Art of Clean we would normally discuss these options with you on our initial inspection of your wooden floor.

As hard wax oils contain a mixture of oil and wax, which completely saturates into your timber flooring, which means that no other liquid can be absorbed into your wooden floors.  So if you were to spill any drinks, accidentally tip up your bucket of cleaning water onto the surface then none of this would go into your lovely wooden floor.

The wax element of the hard wax oil, protects the surface from small scratches to the wood. Hard wax oil finishes are generally popular with our customer’s wooden floor cleaning requirements in and around Cambridge, as they are the easiest to maintain. The hard wax oil also comes in various shades and colours, and offers three different types of sheen finishes.

Lacquers on the other hand act in a slightly different way, rather than absorbing into the wooden surface of your floor, it will sit on the surface.

The type of lacquers we use at Art of Clean in Cambridge, have flexible qualities, so rather than drying into a solid rigid surface, the lacquer will flex with the timber when it is scratched or dented. This type of finish is harder to maintain, as although it is durable, if you need to touch up and scratches, it’s much harder. There are also only a two different types of finishes available too.

We realise at Art of Clean that it all comes down to a question of taste, and as hard wood flooring cleaning experts we will be happy to help you choose the most suitable finish for your hardwood floor, so why not give us a call on 01223 863632.

Reclaimed Teak Wood Flooring

Does your mind boogle when you look at the types of wood flooring there is available?  Beech, Oak, Pine, Bamboo, even reclaimed pallet wood, but I would like to talk about teak.

Teak wood is found predominantly in South East Asia and in particular, the country of Myanmar (Burma). A large amount of teak also grows in Africa.  Teak is a large, deciduous tree and has small, fragrant white flowers and papery leaves. Valuable for its durability, teak has been milled and fashioned into boat hulls, due to its durability, water resistance and ability to withstand almost every weather condition.

On a recent job, Ben and Jo found themselves with a really nice teak floor and staircase to sand and seal.  There was nothing horrible on it and so it was a very straight forward job.  It had been quite a while since the floor had been sanded and as such it was a joy to see the reveal. Using only the best products, that thick, oily surface gave way to a rich, golden base and later yielded to an enhancing re-oil.

Teak has that wonderful, mottled grain, that's toned and allows for light to reflect off it.  So when you have the opportunity to sand and enhance your floor and make the most of it.  Because of the natural oils, teak wood floors can be buffed to a high-gloss finish.

Dear Art of Clean, I need your help...

Dear Art of Clean,

I recently bought a house and it has wood flooring throughout.

I've never owned a home before and never lived in a place with wooden flooring. It looks a touch shabby at the moment, can you help?

-----------------------------------------



Dear Customer,

We’d be delighted.

Now, before we start, there are a few things you should really be aware of.

We are professionals. That means apart from being insured and certified (as all professionals should be), apart from being handsome (!) and apart from caring, we love our job.

We guarantee that our service is above reproach.

When it comes to the nitty-gritty, here’s the important stuff:

Our floor sanding is 99% free of dust (depending on the floor). Our products are low odor and water based. We use the best products available, even if that costs us more. This means we can edge as close towards being ‘Green’ as it is possible in this business.

We will send one of our colleagues out to give you a quote. Be aware He or She may will require a cup of tea. The quote will include everything, none of that ‘bait ‘n’ switch’ malarkey!

What you ask for is what you’ll pay for.

The quote will take around 20-30 minutes, but at the end, we guarantee you’ll be feeling confident and secure in decision to hire Art of Clean.
