If your product is treated with Treatex Hardwax oil please follow the below cleaning and maintenance guidelines.
Following the manufacturers care information, they recommend cleaning with their Spray-On Floor & Surface Cleaner which is a convenient ready diluted spray, designed to quickly clean and maintain surfaces treated with Treatex Hardwax Oil. This PH neutral product contains Vegetable oils and Carnauba wax, which means that as your surface is cleaned, a thin replenishing and protective layer of wax is also applied. Simply spray the surface lightly with the product and wipe with a microfibre cloth for the ultimate result.
In addition to this to maintain the wood and treatment to workshop standard, we recommend treated wax polish.
