Q&A
What is the best oil to use on wood?
The best oil for wood depends on the type of wood and the intended use. Saman penetrating oils offer an excellent balance of protection, durability, and aesthetic finish, making them suitable for most interior wood projects.
Can oils be used on a wood floor without applying varnish?
Yes, it is entirely possible to treat a wood floor with oil only, without applying varnish. If you prefer a slightly glossy finish, you can also buff the oiled surface to achieve the desired look.
If my surface has already been oiled with another product, can I apply your wood oil on top?
Our wood oil is compatible with most products on the market. We recommend cleaning the surface beforehand with eco-friendly TSP and always performing a test in an inconspicuous area before full application.
Can I use this wood oil on a patio?
No, this product is designed for interior use only and is not recommended for outdoor surfaces such as patios.
Can penetrating oil be applied to a wooden kitchen countertop?
This penetrating oil for wood is not intended for butcher blocks. However, if the wooden kitchen countertop is not used for cutting food directly, it can be safely oiled.
How often should I reapply oil to an oiled wood surface?
There is no fixed timeframe, as the longevity of wood oil depends on the environment and how the surface is used. To check whether an oiled wood surface needs reapplication, perform a simple test: place a drop of water on the surface. If it beads after one minute, the protection is still effective. If not, it’s time to reapply the oil.
Can I apply any varnish over my existing varnish?
Our water-based varnish is compatible with our products. However, we cannot guarantee compatibility with varnishes from other brands, as their components may react and alter the wood finish.
How should an oiled wood surface be cleaned?
To maintain optimal protection and extend the life of the wood oil, we recommend using the Saman Legend FOC-000-800 cleaner to properly clean and care for oiled wood surfaces.
