Osmo Wash & Care

Osmo Wash and Care Concentrate - Cleaner for Oiled & Hardwax Oil Wood Floors, Table-Tops & Furniture

Cleaning oiled wood floors & furniture requires a different approach than standard cleaning. Using the wrong cleaner can strip protective oils, dry out the wood, and shorten the life of the finish.

Regular cleaners strip oil finishes. Osmo Wash & Care cleans without removing the protective oils that keep wood from drying out.

Osmo Wash & Care Concentrate is specifically formulated for oiled and hardwax oil wood floors and furniture, including surfaces finished with Osmo Polyx-Oil. It cleans effectively while preserving the natural oils that keep wood protected and hydrated.

Most cleaners are made for sealed surfaces—not oil-finished wood.

They often:

• Strip away protective oils
• Leave behind residue or streaks
• Cause wood to dry out and wear faster

Osmo Wash & Care is different.

It uses a gentle, PolyX-Oil compatible formula that:

• Cleans without stripping
• Helps maintain the finish
• Leaves no buildup

This is essential for maintaining hardwax oil systems like Polyx-Oil.

Routine use on table-tops will continually rejuvinate the finish to enhance long term durability.  Simply mix and use with a spray bottle for day to day wiping of your Osmo PolyX Oil finished table.

Maintaining Osmo PolyX-Oil Floors, Tables & Furniture:

For best results, Osmo recommends a simple maintenance cycle:

1. Clean

Use Wash & Care for regular cleaning

2. Refresh

Apply Maintenance Oil to revive worn areas

3. Restore

Recoat with PolyX-Oil when needed

This system keeps Floors, Tables & Furniture looking new without sanding or full refinishing.

How to Use:

1. Mix Wash & Care with Water at 1 cap per 2L water (approx. 1:100 ratio) for routine maintenance
2. Use a Damp mop or cloth (not wet) to wipe the surface without pooling
3. Allow the surface to dry naturally
4. Safe for routine cleaning
5. For intense cleaning, dosage can be increased up to a mixing ratio of 1:1

Avoid:

• Using vinegar.  Acidity can damage surfaces and bleach color.
• Using harsh cleaners.  Unintentially strips finishes and can cause surfaces to become sticky or soft.
• Over-wetting floors or oiled surfaces.  Blushing or other problems occur from saturation of moisture.

Best Uses:

• Hardwood floors finished with hardwax oil
• Table Tops finished with hardwax oil
• Osmo PolyX-Oil finished surfaces
• Wood furniture and cabinetry
• Interior wood surfaces and cork
