Osmo Wash and Care is a special cleaning concentrate for wooden and cork floors finished with Osmo Hardwax-Oil (Polyx®-Oil).  It can also be used on other oiled/waxed wooden surfaces and is also suitable for laminate floors, varnished floors, stone floors, PVC, plastic and other water resistant surfaces.

Osmo Wash and Care is highly effective and makes the floor surface more resistant to soiling and water.  This water soluble product provides a quick, easy and thorough floor maintenance solution - even for large high traffic areas.

Simply add Osmo Wash and Care to water and wipe the floor with a damp mop or  cloth.  The Osmo Opti- Set (with the white Micro-mop Plush) is ideal for this purpose. 

Osmo Wash and Care cleans the surface and freshens up the floor at the same time.  It does not leave traces of residue or stripes, nor does it form a film on the surface, therefore it can be used as often as necessary.

Natural products

Osmo uses food safe, natural ingredients for the basis of their wood finishes, waxes and pigments, including sunflower, soya, linseed and thistle oil, which is good for customers and wood alike.

Osmo products contain disaromatised white spirit to ensure finishes spread easily, removing the need for so called "Green solvent" materials which can cause allergies.

Natural beauty of oils and waxes

Wood is a natural material, the cell structure, similar to our skin, can take on and release moisture, it breathes. To ensure that this exchange is not prevented we have created finishes especially suited to the character of the wood.

Osmo natural wood finishes are based on oils and waxes, the oil penetrates into the wood surface, protecting from deep within. The waxes form an elastic, micro-porous surface which protects the wood from external influences. The wood remains naturally beautiful, protected and durable.
