Whether antique, solid, semi-solid, or engineered, parquet warms up and adds charm to our interiors. But how do you take care of it in the long term and clean it easily? Let's explain.

CLEANING SOLID PARQUET

Whether oiled or waxed, solid parquet is easy to maintain. A broom and a vacuum cleaner remain the best tools to remove daily dust. Reserve the damp mop only for oiled floors. Waxed floors, on the other hand, can be polished once a week.

WHAT PRODUCTS TO USE TO MAINTAIN AND CLEAN YOUR PARQUET?

To protect our floors effectively, it is essential to adapt cleaning and maintenance to the specific characteristics of each floor covering. In all cases, avoid using overly corrosive treatments or excessive water. An oiled parquet may need to be oiled again once a year with, for example, linseed oil, ideal for all types of wood. Liquid or in paste form, special wood soap will help remove stains. To preserve the protective layer of a waxed parquet, it is advisable to apply a layer of wax over its entire surface every two years.
