Timber Floor Guide

SHYN Method

Not all timber floors are the same - using the wrong method can cause permanent damage.

Follow the correct process based on your floor type.

STEP 1: Identify your timber

👉 Raw / Unsealed Timber

👉 Sealed / Coated Timber (floorboards, lacquered, polyurethane)

OPTION 1: RAW / UNSEALED TIMBER

🚫 What NOT to do:

• Do NOT wet mop
• Do NOT use cleaning products or chemicals
• Do NOT oversaturate the surface

👉 Too much moisture can cause warping, staining, and lifting.

What to do instead:

This is a maintenance-only surface - not designed for deep cleaning.

⚡ Method:

• Lightly damp a microfibre pad (almost dry)
• Attach to your Wall & Floor Tool
• Gently wipe over the surface 3 times per area

👉 This will lift dust and light debris only

OPTION 2: SEALED / COATED TIMBER

These floors can be cleaned - but must be done carefully to protect the coating.

DEEP CLEAN (if heavily dirty)

If your floors have visible buildup, grime, or dull patches:

👉 Follow the Textured Floor Method

⚠️ With these adjustments:

• Work in small sections only
• Do NOT let product sit on the surface
• Apply → agitate → remove immediately

👉 This prevents damage to the coating.

MAINTENANCE CLEAN (recommended)

Option 1: Water only

• Use hot water
• Use a damp (not wet) microfibre mop
