Cleaning
Daily cleaning of Live Matt Lacquered floors are best carried out dry with a broom or vacuum cleaner. If you mop your floor, use BOEN Cleaner and clean with a damp mop. For more stubborn dirt, increase the dosage.
Heavier dirt that is difficult to shift such as grease spots or heel marks can be removed with thorough cleaning. The ideal product for this is BOEN Remover (polish remover). After using this, treat the floor with BOEN Polish Matt.

Maintenance
BOEN Polish Matt was especially developed for the regular cleaning of lacquered hardwood wooden floors. It refreshes old and matt paint, protects it and gives it a silky matt shiny and dirt repellent surface. Before using it, your floor should be clean and free of polish, wax and dirt. Apply a thin, even layer of BOEN Polish Matt with a sponge or cloth and leave it to dry. Only then should you put the furniture and rugs back in place. BOEN Polish Matt is also good for spot cleaning.

Important note
For lacquered hardwood floors: when you see clear signs of wear and tear on hardwood floors under heavy use, we recommend that they are sanded and resealed in order to preserve the intact surface over the long term.
