In this video, we are going to learn how to maintain unfinished parquet flooring

Unfinished parquet floor is easily marked or stained, but a few simple cleaning techniques can give it new life

For this job, you will need: a microfibre broom, a hard bristle brush, black soap, a microfibre cloth, coarse and fine-grit sandpaper, and a parquet or hardwood floor renewal product such as a floor oil

Cleaning and upkeep of your parquet floor will be detailed in 3 steps:

Step 1: Sanding

Begin by sweeping away any dust on your floor. Use 120 grit sandpaper and sand the floor. Sweep the floor once again to remove any sawdust

Attention: Do not repeat this sanding step too often in order to avoid damaging the parquet

Step 2: Cleaning

Pour a large capful of black soap into a bucket of warm water. Take a hard bristle brush and clean the floor. Always begin at the corners and edges, and be sure to brush in the direction of the wood grain.

It's also possible to replace black soap with potato starch
