How to Clean and Polish a Parquet Floor with Natural Ingredients

If the parquet is oiled, the ideal is to use a low pH detergent, with water at room temperature, and clean with a well-wrung cloth. This type of flooring should be left to dry naturally, perhaps keeping balconies and windows open.

Olive oil and tea tree oil can also be of great help. Applied with a clean cloth, they will allow us to restore the wood to its original appearance.

Paper and talcum powder to remove stains . Grease, oil or ink stains from parquet floors can be very difficult to remove. You can use absorbent paper or soak the stain in talcum powder. If you decide to opt for the latter option, let the talcum powder sit on the stain for at least 24 hours before vacuuming and removing the residue.

Solid wax or oil polish . Natural wood floors should be waxed at least once a month. The ideal solution is to pour a solid wax or, alternatively, an oil on a cotton cloth and rub it over the floor.
