Maintenance & care library

Simple LOBA care help for the floor you have.

Plain-language manufacturer care information for finished and oiled wood floors.

Direct answer

First, find out whether your floor is finished or oiled. That tells you which care path to start with. Product labels can help, but the wrong cleaner can cause a bigger problem.

Real photo and product references

Photos help. The floor label still matters.

One real PHR comparison and two official LOBA product photos can help you recognize what you are looking at. They do not identify the right care plan for an unknown floor.

Daily protection

Three small habits that protect a finished floor.

These are simple, source-backed steps for everyday wear. They do not replace the care instructions for the finish on your own floor.

At the door

Catch dirt and moisture early.

Doormats at entrances help keep dirt and moisture from reaching the wood.

Along traffic paths

Give busy spots a buffer.

Area rugs can protect high-traffic sections of a wood floor.

Under furniture

Use felt where legs meet wood.

Felt pads under furniture legs help prevent scratches and dents.

Start by naming the floor

Finished wood and oiled wood need different care. If you do not know what is on the floor, do not guess with a strong cleaner, wax, oil, or machine.

Look for the installer’s or floor maker’s written care directions first.
Try a product only when its label fits your known floor type.
Water damage, deep wear, and machine work need a closer look before you begin.

What the main LOBA labels mean

FloorCare is made for finished floors. NatureOil is for certain oiled floors. ParkettSoap R2U is for oiled wood treated with oxidizing oil. Universal Floor Cleaner comes in concentrate and ready-to-use spray. CareRemover is a stronger cleaner with a professional-use limit. Read the label before you use any of them.
