Scully Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Osmo Polyoxoyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver pigeon69 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) Treatex (i think thats how its spelt?) Edit: If its good enough for some of Britain’s highest traffic floors such as Heathrow Terminal 5 and the Natural History Museum in London, its good enough for my front room!

Rst1990 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Osmo polyx is the best stuff to use. I hired a floor sander for the day and done the ground floor of my father in laws oak flooring, you really don't need huge amounts either it does go far, which is good because it's not cheap.

oowee Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Osmo Polyoxoyl. +1 just had a siberian oak floor throughout the house treated with this its superb and can be washed with an osmo mix which tops up the protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team tractor Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Fiddes hard wax oil or osma hard wax oil. It's not wax it's just a name . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Might be worth looking to see if faded area needs staining after sanding to blend back in, before applying the finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Blanchon Hard Wax Oil gets my vote. Used it on two floors (and will use it again on others in future) and the best bit is that you can cover up any scratches easily with a quick wipe over with a wax oil soaked rag. Takes less than a minute to eliminate a scratch. Great if you have dogs as their claws tend to take no prisoners with polished wood floors.
