Bauwerk’s cleaning tip #1
Here’s an easy way to remove spots from your parquet.
Is there anyone who has never accidentally spilled some liquid when clinking glasses? Whether red wine or other beverages, it’s not a problem. If your parquet floor has been getting the right care, spots remain on the surface and do not penetrate the wood. You can easily treat them and remove them.
Bauwerk recommends Bauwerk Intensive Cleaner.
Spray on Bauwerk Intensive Cleaner, distribute it evenly to form a thin layer and let it work for a few minutes.
Wipe off the Cleaner using an absorbent cloth or sponge.
Wipe the treated parquet surface with water using a slightly damp cloth and let dry.
Afterwards, you can clean and maintain your parquet normally.
Tips & tricks:
Do not use too much water to prevent the wood from
Protect adjacent surfaces before treatment.

Bauwerk’s cleaning tip #2
This trick tells you whether your floor needs to be re-oiled.
Drib a drop of water on your nature-oiled parquet. If the drop retains its tension and stays on the surface, your floor is fine. If the drop is immediately absorbed into the wood, the surface needs to be re-oiled. How often you have to oil your parquet depends on its use. Bauwerk recommends re-oiling your floor once a year.
We recommend Bauwerk’s Care Oil Eco Colourless.
Apply a thin layer of Eco Oil evenly to the clean parquet surface using a cloth or mop.
Let the floor air-dry, do not wipe dry with a cloth!
You can use the surface again after 3 to 4 hours.
Tips & tricks:
If used excessively, a layer of oil may form. We recommend Bauwerk floor polish for general upkeep, which can be removed using Bauwerk intensive cleaner. Afterwards, we suggest that you polish the surfaces again.
When re-oiling, it is not necessary to remove all the furniture from the room. You can simply move them to the side.
