What a maintenance nightmare!

DuChateau® Floors are finished with a Hard-Wax Oil that is baked into the floors during the

manufacturing. For this reason, they must be maintained differently than polyurethane or aluminum-oxide

finished floors. First and foremost, DuChateau® Parquet Cleaner is the ONLY cleaning product approved

for use when cleaning a DuChateau® Hard-Wax Oil floor. Products containing alcohol are not approved

for use when cleaning DuChateau® Floor. The reason for this is very simple; standard cleaning products

use alcohol as a drying agent to speed up evaporation after application. Alcohol, by its chemical nature,

will break down waxes and oils, and damage your DuChateau® Hard-Wax Oil Floor.


Full cleaning and maintenance here...but wow...this is crazy!

Doesn't sound too hard per instructions.

I wonder how durable this flooring is? It's quite beautiful! It doesn't seem any harder to maintain than any other high quality wood flooring.
However I can see that it would definitely need to be rigorously cleaned on a regular basis as it's got lots of texture to collect dirt and would then require much more effort. And water which obviously must be kept to a minimum.

I would love to use a turbo Hybrid connected to a high pressure AIR source.

Soft brushes on the crb?

We got scolded for mopping aluminium oxide finished floors in new construction but they said its ok to use acetone to remove the paint overspray and glue from the tape. They dont want us using water.

Those engineered layers look like they would suck up any water that penetrates the joints like a sponge.
