WOCA Natural Soap Natural for oiled wooden floors

WOCA Natural Soap Natural is a concentrated, conditioning floor soap for the regular protection of oiled wooden floors, furniture and other interior wooden surfaces.

The soap contains nourishing coconut and soya fats. Each treatment leaves a thin, protective soap layer on the wood. WOCA Natural Soap is therefore primarily intended to condition and protect the existing oil finish.

For normal weekly cleaning and the removal of dirt, we recommend Eco Multi Cleaner. Use WOCA Natural Soap as an additional treatment whenever the floor requires extra nourishment and a protective soap layer.

WOCA Natural Soap is available in Natural, White, Extra White, Grey and Black. The Natural version is suitable for naturally oiled and dark-oiled wooden surfaces.

WOCA Natural Soap or Eco Multi Cleaner?

Use Eco Multi Cleaner for normal weekly cleaning and for removing dirt, grease and signs of everyday use.

Use WOCA Natural Soap Natural when you want to provide an oiled floor with additional nourishment and apply a thin, protective soap layer. The two products can be used alternately.

Using Natural Soap too frequently or at an excessively strong concentration may cause several soap layers to build up. This can result in streaks, differences in sheen or visible sliding marks. Always use the recommended mixing ratio.

Mixing ratio for regular maintenance

Shake the container well before use.

For normal maintenance, mix approximately 1 part WOCA Natural Soap with 40 parts lukewarm water. For the first maintenance treatment, a mixing ratio of approximately 1:20 may be used.

We recommend using two buckets:

• One bucket containing the prepared soap solution

• One bucket containing clean water for rinsing the mop

First remove dust, sand and loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner, soft broom or dust cloth. Then apply the soap solution evenly using the Opti Set and a well-wrung mop.

Do not leave puddles of water on the wooden floor. Rinse the mop regularly in the bucket containing clean water and, if required, apply another very thin layer of soap solution.

Allow the floor to dry completely before subjecting it to intensive use.

Additional WocaStore maintenance plan

Based on many years of practical experience, WocaStore has developed its own maintenance plan. This plan differs in certain respects from the manufacturer’s general maintenance recommendations.

• Regularly remove sand and loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner or soft broom.

• Use Eco Multi Cleaner for normal weekly cleaning.

• Use WOCA Natural Soap approximately once every one or two months for additional nourishment and protection.

• Apply the soap solution evenly with the Opti Set, using as little moisture as possible.

• Avoid overdosing and the excessive build-up of soap layers.

• Use WOCA Intensive Wood Cleaner when the floor requires thorough cleaning or before applying a new layer of maintenance oil.

• Periodically use the appropriate WOCA Maintenance Oil to restore the floor’s oil protection.

Natural Soap as an initial treatment

Under certain conditions, WOCA Natural Soap can also be used as an initial treatment for untreated solid wooden surfaces. However, a soap treatment provides a different and generally less stain-resistant finish than an oil treatment.

An initial soap treatment is particularly suitable for certain types of untreated softwood. Please obtain advice before treatment if you are unsure whether your floor is suitable.

Solid softwood

Depending on the wood species and desired treatment, mix the soap with water in a ratio of approximately 1:1 to 1:5.

Apply the solution generously and evenly, then work it carefully into the wood using a white polishing pad. Repeat the treatment, allowing sufficient drying time between layers, until the wood appears evenly saturated.

Solid oak

Treating untreated solid oak with soap is a specialist procedure. The floor construction, thickness and finish are important considerations.

As a guideline, a mixing ratio of 1:10 may be used for the first layer, followed by 1:5 for the next layer. Always ask WocaStore for advice before application to determine whether this treatment is suitable for your floor.

Always test the treatment on an inconspicuous area first. Incorrect application may result in colour differences, staining or deformation.

Professional tip for a smoother finish

After the final soap layer has dried, carefully work it into the surface using suitable patina discs with a single-disc floor-polishing machine or a velvet disc with a rotating 6-inch machine.

This can help compact and smooth the wooden surface, making it more difficult for dirt and moisture to adhere.

Maintenance after a soap treatment

Repeat the treatment with WOCA Natural Soap whenever the floor begins to look dry or depleted and requires additional nourishment.

Use Eco Multi Cleaner between soap treatments for normal cleaning. This prevents new soap layers from being applied over existing dirt.

If the soap layer has become too thick, or if maintenance oil needs to be applied, the existing soap film must first be completely removed with a suitable intensive cleaner.
