  • Clean the parquet: use a good degreaser to remove all dirt and grease from the surface. Your parquet should be completely clean and grease-free before proceeding.
  • Time for inspection: take the time to inspect your parquet. Are there any damages, scratches or missing pieces? It's important to notice these and to repair them to restore your parquet.
  • Remove any old finishes: if they're still there, make sure you remove them thoroughly before proceeding.

Step 2: Applying oil, varnish or stain

After the preparation, it's time to choose between parquet oil or varnish and stain to protect your wooden floor. Here are the next steps:

  • Consider whether you want your parquet to retain its natural look with oil or varnish, or whether you want to give it a subtle colour with stain.
  • Apply the oil, varnish or stain evenly to your parquet with a brush. Take your time and ensure you apply an even coat. 
  • Let the oil or stain dry completely. The varnish should definitely fully harden as well. Patience is essential here. 
  • Don't forget to finish with a clear varnish when using a wood stain. 


And that's it! With these simple steps, you're ready to make your parquet shine. Good luck with your project!
