Floor Maintenance
Once your floor is coated with Feast Watson coatings, it is important that the below measures are taken to prolong the life of your floor and maintain a professional finish.
 

Care of Floor after Coating

  • Coatings take approximately 7 to 14 days to cure after application of the last coat.
  • It is advised that only socks are worn on the timber floor for the first 72 hours after drying.
  • Avoid dragging furniture over coated surface.
  • For the first month only use a non-static mop. Do not wet or clean the floor

Protect the floor’s surface with mats & protective pads

  • Place mats at entrances and where possible place a mat on the inside as well as outside. 
  • Use rugs in high traffic areas.  
  • It is recommended that mats be placed on the timber floor 14 days after the coating is applied.
  • Ensure protective pads are on all furnishing floor contact points.

Filter Light with Curtains and Blinds

  • To avoid fading and discolouring of your timber floor, filter direct light with curtains and blinds. 

Cleaning Your Timber Floor with Floorclean

  • Clean your timber floor weekly (or more if required) with a damp mop using Feast Watson Floorclean. Do not flood the floor.
  • Floorclean is also suitable for terrazzo, ceramic and lino floors.
  • Use an anti-static dust mop regularly to collect dust and debris
  • It is advised not to use vacuum cleaners because often the brushes on the vacuum head wear thin and the metal scratches the floor.

Rejuvenate your timber floors with Feast Watson Floorshine

  • Feast Watson Floorshine is a water based protective finish ideal for rejuvenating and lifting the gloss level of tired, worn floors. It is available in Gloss and Satin.
  • Floorshine is also suitable for vinyl tiles, terrazzo and marble floors.
