Osmo's cleaning range is built specifically around oiled and waxed floors, from everyday concentrate through to a more intensive cleaner used ahead of refinishing.
Wash & Care: Everyday Concentrate
Osmo Wash & Care is a water-soluble cleaning concentrate for everyday maintenance of oiled and waxed wooden floors. Used regularly, it helps maintain an anti-sliding surface, and is free from pigment, scent and solvent.
Liquid Wax Cleaner: Standard and White
Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner (500ml spray) is formulated with natural oil-based soaps for daily cleaning of hardwax-oil surfaces, designed not to dry the wood out and to avoid streaks without leaving residue — gentle enough to be safe on food surfaces. A separate White version (available in 1L and 0.5L) is aimed specifically at white or light-coloured oil and hardwax floors, used for periodic freshening and cleaning, both regenerating the wood and topping up its waxes without building up a film.
Intensive Cleaner: Before Refinishing
Osmo Intensive Cleaner is a lightly alkaline cleaner aimed at removing organic and inorganic deposits from oiled and waxed surfaces before applying a new Osmo finish. It's positioned as an alternative to sanding in some cases — useful where a full resand isn't necessary, but the surface needs a thorough clean before recoating.
Floor Cleaning Mop
The Osmo Floor Cleaning Mop (head only) uses soft fibres designed not to wear down a treated surface, and works across varnished, stone, plastic and PVC floors as well as wood — suited to both domestic and commercial use.
Common Questions About Osmo Cleaners and Polishers
What's the difference between Wash & Care and Liquid Wax Cleaner?
Wash & Care is a diluted concentrate for regular, everyday maintenance. Liquid Wax Cleaner is used for more occasional cleaning and gives the wood a top-up of natural waxes at the same time.
Should I use the White version of Liquid Wax Cleaner?
Only if your floor is a white or light-coloured oil or hardwax finish — the White version is formulated specifically for that.
Can Osmo Intensive Cleaner replace sanding before refinishing?
In some cases, yes — it's positioned as an alternative where a full resand isn't necessary but the surface needs thorough cleaning before a new Osmo finish is applied. Check the condition of your specific floor first.
Is the Osmo mop suitable for floors other than wood?
Yes — it's also suited to varnished, stone, plastic and PVC floors, not just wood.
