Instructions:
Clean the Surface: Begin by thoroughly cleaning the parquet floor to remove dust, dirt, and debris. Use a vacuum or broom to sweep the area and then mop with a gentle floor cleaner to ensure no residues are left behind.
Prepare the Olive Oil: Pour a small amount of olive oil onto a clean microfiber cloth. Olive oil works as a natural remedy that both nourishes the wood and helps diminish the appearance of scratches.
Apply the Oil: Gently rub the cloth in circular motions over the scratched area. Focus on the edges of the scratches, ensuring the oil seeps into the wood and softens the imperfections.
Buff the Surface: Use a dry part of the microfiber cloth to buff the area after applying the oil. This will not only enhance the shine but also remove any excess oil, leaving a smooth, glossy finish.
Treat Deeper Scratches (Optional): For deeper scratches, you can use a wood stain pen in a matching color to your parquet. Lightly apply it to the scratch and allow it to dry before buffing.
Tips for Serving and Storing:
Serving: Once you've treated the scratches, allow the oil to settle for at least 30 minutes before walking on the surface. This ensures the wood absorbs the oil properly and restores its luster.
Storage: Store the olive oil in a cool, dark place to preserve its quality. Also, make sure the microfiber cloths used for applying the oil are washed regularly to avoid any build-up of dirt or oils that could leave streaks.
