Our timber flooring is designed with low-maintenance and easy cleaning in mind. Regular sweeping and vacuuming is the best way to keep your floors looking day 1 fresh! We also recommend spray mopping, ideally once or twice a month, with a pH neutral floor cleaner.

Over time with normal wear and tear a few pesky marks and scratches will inevitably occur. The good news for DIY’s is that disguising scuffs and hiding small surface scratches is really easy. 

Gilly’s Scratch Cover, a light or dark oil that colours over surface scratches and revives timber, and Gilly’s Floor Polish, a soft, beeswax-based polish that nourishes dry timber, are both simple to use and highly effective at revitalising lightly marked floors.

For really obvious wearing and deeper scratches on timber flooring however, your best option is to enlist a professional flooring contractor to lightly sand back the entire surface and refinish it with a polyurethane or water-based coating.

Timber can be sanded and rejuvenated with a polyurethane or water-based coating to restore the overall appearance of the floor. Sanding and re-coating of any Flooring Online Australia's engineered timber floors should only ever be carried out by a professional flooring contractor. If you are considering refinishing your floor, please consult a professional finishing service or Flooring Online Australia for advice.

Note how many time a floor can be sanded depends on the thickness of the solid timber veneer. Most of our engineered timber boards are safe to sand one to three times. Our 12mm & 7.5mm timber ranges should not be sanded.
