Buying furniture is great, but keeping it looking like new is even better! ManoMano offers to maintain it with affordable and diverse oils, for polishing, for indoor or outdoor use. You'll find oils for teak, exotic woods for your garden furniture or your terrace; oils for parquet for your living room. Below is a guide to help you in your choice!
With a wood oil, you can protect your wood both inside and out: the key is to choose which surface you want to polish.
To oil your indoor wood flooring or furniture, it is recommended to use, as its name suggests, a parquet oil. This product traditionally treats your wood to give it an authentic look. Before applying it, make sure to sand your parquet well for better oil penetration into the wood of your parquet or furniture, and also to properly repair any defects in your parquet: fill in cracks and wood grain. The application of parquet oil can be done more simply with a mono-brush to spread it evenly. It is important to let the oil penetrate for 48 hours for it to dry thoroughly and for its protection to be complete. A piece of advice: if the wood absorbs a first layer too quickly, don't hesitate to apply a second one.
As for your outdoor woods, an oil made for wood will be even more effective: for example, an oil for teak or for exotic wood. Its application is very simple since this product is ready to use directly, without the need to add any solvent before use.
Overall, the advantage of wood oil is its quick and lasting penetration into the wood's grooves for effective protection: its treatment is irreversible. Over time and with sun exposure, the oil darkens: that's why it's useful to use a desoiler to remove these used oils. It acts like a stripper and gives your wood a better hold. After desoiling your garden furniture, it's imperative to protect them again by polishing them anew with oil.
As you've understood, oiling your parquet or your garden furniture is not a complicated task: you just need the right product, good advice, a little bit of effort, and you're all set!
