Lyes and soaps

Wood treated only with lyes and soaps (Nos. 401 –  404) retains its naturally light-coloured appearance. Regular refreshment treatment with soap is required. 

AURO Softwood lye No. 401 and Hardwood lye No. 402 are available. Use Wood soap No. 403 or Wood soap, white No. 404 from AURO, depending on how light the floor colouring is to be.








Lyes
The lye is applied to the sanded, untreated floor in the direction of the grain with a roller or mop rag. Distribute excess product with a scrubber, then rub it in. After a drying period (4 – 10 hours) use the single-disc machine for intermediate sanding (grain 120 – 150).

Soaps
Wood soap is diluted with water (100 ml soap to 1 litre of water) and applied with a roller or mop rag. Wipe up excess liquid within 15 minutes. Repeat soap application once or twice after a further drying period.

Cleaning
To clean and freshen up the protective layer, mop the floor regularly with 100 ml Wood Soap in 4 litres of water. Never put the mop rag directly into the soap solution when it is taken from the floor, but rather rinse it in water and wring it out first.
