This is how you maintain and take care of your Bekker oiled hardwood floor.
One coat of Freshen Up
When your hardwood floor is installed and before it is used, I recommended a coat of BOEN Freshen Up. If you use BOEN Freshen Up 1-2 times a year, you will preserve the matt look and durability of your hardwood floor. If necessary, use BOEN Freshen Up more often on the most trafficked areas in your house: they are more exposed to wear and need more care.
Hardwood flooring is easy to clean
Did you know that you should actually clean your hardwood floor with water as infrequently as possible? On a daily base, it is enough to just vacuum or mop the floor. When you mop your hardwood floor use BOEN Floor Soap (synthetic soap) mixed with water. Use as small amount of water as possible so that the hardwood floor is dry within three minutes. Stubborn stains can be removed with a stronger mix of BOEN Floor Soap and water.
DO NOT use ammonia or greensoap on oak floors.

If your floor get scrapes or nicks, it’s good to know that we deliver repair kit to most oiled flooring types. If the hardwood floor is starting to become worn and dry, I recommend a coat BOEN Natural Oil.
The way to care and maintain Bekker lacquered engineered wood floor
An underlay with high density reduces the movements and hence the squeaks one tends to experience with wood and laminate wood floors. In addition one gets an underlay with very good audio characteristics.
The foam underlay provides for higher stability and also sonority within the room and transmission between floors is reduced.
A 2mm foam underlay with a built in polythene layer which acts as a moisture barrier is advisable to use. That said, most modern constructions, more so high rise constructions where the subfloor has been cured well, do not require the polythene underlay. High density 2mm underlay foam is critical to the overall wood floor experience, be it engineered wood floors or laminate wood floors
