How to clean white paint dust off engineered wood floor? ( or disguise it)

Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 3.31 PM

Hi, Last week I had a engineered wood, natural brushed oiled fitted. Unfortunately due to lockdown the painting has had to be done afterwards. The painter did a god job of not getting paint on the floor, but we have been left with white dusty patches from foot prints and where the [protective plastic went down. Ive swept it and cleaned with bona floor cleaner, but it hasn't worked. Can anyone recommend how to clean the floor, or how to cover the dusty patches? Would Osmo oil do the trick? Many thanks.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Try white vinegar or rubbing alcohol maybe a white spirit If that doesn’t work give light sand and stain it again

Hi there Sorry to hear the inconvenience you’ve in counted But I would highly recommend using BIG WIPES If you type in the google search they will appear in Screwfix, tool station, but if you do not have an account with these stores AMAZON Is the best place They are extremely safe and friendly these wipes tackle everything Even slime out of children’s hair This will 100% get whatever you need clean on any surface My partner now uses these BIG WIPES for general cleaning Please Do not use white spirit this will leave a patch and take up any oil or lacquer The BIG WIPES £7-10 not expensive at all I hope This was helpful Kind regards Steve

If the dust marks disappear when you clean the floor it is just dust that has got in to the grain of the wood. It’s very common with plaster/paint dust as it’s so fine. Brushed and oiled floors have texture to them and the grain is raised (brushed). The floor will not need sanding. We would buff and re oil the floor. Try going over the back of the wood with the back of a Brillo pad. This will lightly key in to the oil without sanding it back and get in between the raised grain. Rag on the oil and then rag it off. It will look as good as new. Avoid trade wipes with chemicals as this can take off the oil and leave dull marks and cannot penetrate in between the raised grain.

Get hold of some ultra fine grade (0000) steel wool and gently rub away the stain.
