Solutions
Easy Refresh & Maintenance
Oil finishes don't peel — they just absorb again.

Who really feels this in India
- DIY homeowners maintaining existing LEINOS-oiled oak, teak, or shisham floors — looking for refresh products that match the original chemistry, not a one-size-fits-all polish.
- Owners of LEINOS-oiled furniture, kitchen islands, and dining tables — wanting a single-bottle solution for weekly cleaning and annual recoat.
- Facility managers of boutique hotels, homestays, and serviced apartments with oiled interior wooden floors and furniture — needing predictable maintenance cycles, not recurring full re-sanding.

Got Questions?
What architects and homeowners ask first.
Quick answers on formulation, application and Indian-climate suitability. Pulled from our full FAQ and TDS library.
- For a normal residential LEINOS-oiled hardwood floor: regular mopping with diluted 930 vegetable soap, 920 floor milk after every 2–4 cleaning rounds (per TDS), and a thin recoat of 290 hardwax oil on high-traffic zones when the surface starts to look dry. Light-use floors stretch the recoat interval by years. There is no full sand-and-refinish step; the oil layer rebuilds itself with each refresh.
- Yes — this is the central advantage of penetrating-oil finishes. Clean the floor with 930 vegetable soap, allow to dry overnight, apply a thin coat of 290 hardwax oil with a lint-free microfibre pad, wipe off any excess. The recoat is dry to the touch in approx. 6–12 hours; treat it gently for the first days — full load-bearing after approx. 7–14 days per TDS. No sander, no dust shroud, no chemical strippers, no furniture removal beyond the area being refreshed.
- 930 vegetable soap is the everyday cleaner — fat-replenishing and plant-based; dilute 30–50 ml in 10 litres of water and mop. It cleans dust and light soiling without stripping the oil. 920 floor milk is the periodic cleaner-conditioner — the TDS protocol is one application after every 2–4 rounds of soap cleaning; it cleans more deeply and adds a thin layer of natural waxes, restoring sheen and lifting traffic marks. Both are part of the same LEINOS care chain and work together.
