Pine Prima 22x155 Lye & White Oil

How to treat it during installation: Pine wood supplied by Wiking Gulve, which has been pre-treated with lye and white oil, must be saturated after installation. The oil we use is a breathable oil, which means that you, as a customer, have 2 options regarding finishing and appearance.

Oil saturation: Immediately after installation, the floor must be saturated with oil. Use Trip Trap Oil Care White or Natural and follow the instructions on the container. The floor must be treated once, after which you can move into your new Wiking floor as soon as the oil has cured according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Soap saturation: Immediately after installation, the floor must be saturated with white-pigmented soap. Use Trip Trap Natural Soap White in a mixing ratio of 1:10. The floor must be washed 3 times over 2 days. This allows the wood to dry between treatments. After the third treatment and the floor is dry, you can move into your new Wiking floor.

How to treat it generally: Depending on the surface treatment you have chosen, there are, of course, also differences in ongoing maintenance.

Oiled floor: We recommend that you regularly maintain your oiled floor with Trip Trap Oil Care White once a year. If the floor is installed in a high-traffic room, e.g., a hallway or a kitchen, you should expect it to need care more often than if the floor is in a bedroom.
Normal floor washing can usually be done with clean lukewarm water or optionally Trip Trap Natural Soap White. You can advantageously wash the floor with Trip Trap Oil Soap every 4-5 floor washes to postpone the next oil treatment a little, as you thereby add a little oil to the surface. However, you should not use oil soap every time you wash the floor, as the wood can become oversaturated and develop a greasy oil layer, which will bind dust and dirt to the surface.

Soap-treated floor: To ensure continuous good saturation of the floor, we recommend that you wash the floor with Trip Trap Natural Soap White more often than if the wood was oil-saturated. Always follow the instructions on the container regarding the mixing ratio. If you think your floor is well saturated but needs washing, you can advantageously omit the soap and only use lukewarm water.

If you want to lighten the surface, you can advantageously wash the floors with Trip Trap Natural Soap Extra White, as this contains more white pigment and will eventually lighten the surface. If you want to tone down the light color, you can use Trip Trap Natural Soap Natural or completely omit the soap in the wash water if the surface is already well saturated. Changing the color of the surface occurs over time after repeated use of the soap.
