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.

How LEINOS answers this

Oil finishes don't peel because there is no film to peel. Linseed oil cures inside the wood pores; refreshing simply means absorbing more oil into the same matrix. A LEINOS-oiled floor at year five accepts a thin coat of 290 over a cleaned surface and looks renewed the next day — no sander, no dust shroud, no displaced furniture, no contractor crew. The same logic applies to oiled furniture tops and kitchen worktops. (Outdoor decks follow their own exterior-oil cycle — see Indian outdoor weathering.) The care system has three working products. The 930 vegetable soap is the everyday cleaner — a fat-replenishing, plant-based formula with biodegradable surfactants; dilute 30–50 ml in 10 litres of water and mop (per TDS). It cleans without stripping the oil layer. The 920 floor milk is the periodic step — the TDS protocol is one application after every 2–4 rounds of soap cleaning; it cleans and re-nourishes the surface in a single pass, lifting traffic patterns and leaving a fresh silky sheen without polishing. The 290 hardwax oil handles spot recoats and full refreshes on heavily used zones. This matters in Indian climate maintenance. Acrylic-sealed floors and varnished decks eventually need full re-sanding — dust, downtime, cost, fumes, plus the wood loses thickness with every sanding cycle. A LEINOS-oiled floor needs a regular 930 mop, 920 milk after every few cleaning rounds, and a thin 290 coat on high-traffic zones when the surface starts to look dry, applied with a microfibre pad. The wood stays the original thickness; the finish stays the original chemistry.

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.
