OLI NATURA® hardwax oil for almost all indoor wood surfaces

Oil impregnates. Wax protects. OLI NATURA® hardwax oil is the ECARF-certified oil-wax combination for almost any indoor wood project. The oil impregnates the wood from within, while the wax provides additional surface protection. Easy to apply, highly efficient, and quick-drying – for wood surfaces that feel silky smooth.

Which types of wood and applications is OLI NATURA® hardwax oil suitable for?

One hardwax oil for many projects – instead of keeping a different wood oil in the cupboard for every application. Whether for furniture, dining tables, kitchen countertops, stairs, wood floors, doors, wall paneling, or windowsills: OLI NATURA® hardwax oil is suitable for untreated and freshly sanded indoor wood surfaces. Suitable for many types of wood – from maple and beech to oak and ash, as well as spruce and pine. Can also be used on suitable surfaces made of cork, bamboo, OSB, plywood, and multiplex.

Looking for a transparent, colored look? OLI NATURA® COLOUR hardwax oil adds color to wood – also in Cotton White for a Scandinavian look. For a more pronounced wood grain effect, choose OLI NATURA® Project Oil.

How does OLI NATURA® hardwax oil change the look and feel of wood?

The wood remains wood. The grain and wood tone are subtly enhanced, while the texture remains visible and tactile. This brings out the natural beauty of particularly light-colored woods. The result: a satin-matte finish with a velvety feel. Tip: Test first, then oil. Try it on similarly prepared wood with our OLI NATURA® hardwax oil sample. Assess the color and sheen after drying.

Is OLI NATURA® hardwax oil easy to apply?

Yes. Apply a thin coat. Remove excess. Polish. No primer or intermediate sanding. On untreated wood, two coats are usually best; one is often enough for light use. Prefer a more matte finish? Polish the second coat while still wet with a white oil pad. Once fully cured, the surface stands up to everyday use: durable, dirt- and water-repellent. The oiled surface does not crack, peel, or flake. And what if signs of wear remain? Touch up the affected areas instead of sanding down the entire surface. Find detailed instructions under “Application.”

What can you rely on with OLI NATURA® hardwax oil? 

Tested for everyday use: ECARF-certified as allergy-friendly, tested for food contact (LFGB), and suitable for children’s toy surfaces treated accordingly (DIN EN 71-3).

Apply OLI NATURA® hardwax oil

Preparation: The wood must be clean, dry, and absorbent. Remove old film-forming coatings. Sand floors and stairs no finer than P100–120, and furniture and worktops no finer than P240 Then thoroughly remove all dust from the surface.

Optional pretreatment: If needed, pretreat the wood with diluted OLI NATURA® PreOilCleaner . Allow to dry completely before oiling. If necessary, smooth any raised wood fibers and remove dust again. Do not use PreOilCleaner before OLI NATURA® Antique.

Tip: We recommend applying a test coat to an inconspicuous area prepared in the same way. Assess the result after drying.

Furniture, stairs, and worktops

  1. Stir the oil thoroughly.
  2. Apply a thin coat in the direction of the grain using a brush or roller. Apply more oil to highly absorbent areas if needed.
  3. After 20 minutes Wipe off any excess with an absorbent cloth.
  4. Polish with a lint-free cloth or white pad until the surface is dry to the touch.
  5. A second thin coat can be applied after 6–8 hours . Here too, remove all excess and polish.

Floors

  1. To allow sufficient working time, thoroughly mix 10 parts hardwax oil Natur with 1 part OLI NATURA® Oil Thinner . Test the mixture on a sample area.
  2. Apply in sections of 5–10 m² using a short-pile roller. Apply more oil to highly absorbent areas if needed.
  3. Wipe off larger amounts of excess with a dry, lint-free cloth.
  4. Within 30 minutes of application , polish with a white pad until the surface is dry to the touch. Do not leave excess oil on the surface.
  5. A second thin coat can be applied after 6–8 hours . Here too, remove all excess and polish.

Coverage

  • Coverage per coat: approx. 40–50 g/m²
  • Coverage for one coat: approx. 20–25 m² per liter
  • Coverage for two coats: approx. 10–12.5 m² of finished surface per liter

Actual coverage depends on the type of wood, final sanding grit, the wood’s absorbency, and the application method.

Drying

  • Dust-dry: after approx. 1–2 hours
  • Recoatable: after approx. 6–8 hours
  • Carefully walkable: after approx. 24 hours
  • Fully cured: after approx. 5–7 days

Protect from moisture and heavy use until fully cured, and do not clean with water.

Application conditions: The oil, wood, and room must be at +15 to +25 °C . Ensure good ventilation during application and drying.

Safety – risk of spontaneous combustion: Rags, pads, or sponges soaked with oil can spontaneously combust due to heat buildup. After use, store them in an airtight metal container or under water. Alternatively, dampen them and spread them out outdoors to dry completely before disposal.

Further information: You can find the technical data sheet under “Downloads”.

How many coats of OLI NATURA® hardwax oil are required?

On untreated wood, we generally recommend two thin coats - especially for tabletops, kitchen countertops, stairs, and wood floors. For lightly used components such as shelves, cabinet fronts that are rarely touched, or chair legs, one coat is usually sufficient.

The second coat can be applied after approx. 6–8 hours to the dry surface. Intermediate sanding is not required.

How much OLI NATURA® hardwax oil do I need for my surface?

Depending on the container size, OLI NATURA® hardwax oil covers the following areas:

With one coat:

  • 250 ml: approx. 5–6 m²
  • 1 liter: approx. 20–25 m²
  • 2.5 liters: approx. 50–62.5 m²

With two coats:

  • 250 ml: approx. 2.5–3 m²
  • 1 liter: approx. 10–12.5 m²
  • 2.5 liters: approx. 25–31 m²

Note: All coverage figures are estimates. Actual coverage depends on the type of wood, final sanding, the wood's absorbency, and the application method.

Does OLI NATURA® hardwax oil need intermediate sanding?

No. Intermediate sanding is not required. The second coat can be applied directly to the dry surface after about 6–8 hours.

Why does OLI NATURA® hardwax oil sometimes remain sticky?

Usually, too much product was applied or excess oil was not completely removed after the penetration time. Therefore, apply OLI NATURA® hardwax oil in a thin coat and polish it thoroughly after 15–20 minutes. Excess product can significantly delay drying.

Why doesn't OLI NATURA® hardwax oil dry properly?

OLI NATURA® hardwax oil dries by oxidation and requires oxygen from the air to do so. Applying too much product, low temperatures, high humidity, poor air circulation, or covering the surface too soon can significantly delay drying and curing.

Remove all excess oil, ensure good air circulation while drying, and leave freshly oiled surfaces uncovered until fully cured do not cover them airtight.

Why does the oiled surface look blotchy or have an uneven sheen?

The cause is often uneven sanding, varying absorbency, or residue left unevenly on the surface. Prepare the surface evenly, apply a thin coat of hardwax oil, and polish off all excess oil.

What is the right final sanding grit for OLI NATURA® hardwax oil?

A grit of 120–180 is ideal for good oil absorption; for finer furniture surfaces, you can also sand to a final grit of 240. The finer the sanding, the less absorbent the wood may be. The key is an even sanding pattern.

Does OLI NATURA® hardwax oil change the color of the wood?

Yes, even a clear hardwax oil enhances the grain and natural color of the wood. OLI NATURA® hardwax oil brings out the wood’s color relatively subtly, making it particularly suitable for light-colored woods.

Can you influence the sheen of OLI NATURA® hardwax oil?

Yes. For a more matte finish, polish the second coat while it is still wet using a white pad. This gives the surface a more understated, matte appearance.

Is OLI NATURA® hardwax oil water-repellent?

Yes, once fully cured, the treated surface is water-repellent. However, freshly oiled surfaces should be protected from water for about 5–7 days. Wipe up liquids as soon as possible and avoid standing water.

Can scratches and signs of wear be repaired?

Yes, minor damage can usually be repaired in specific spots. Lightly sand the affected area and apply another coat of OLI NATURA® hardwax oil. It is usually not necessary to sand down the entire surface.

When should a surface treated with OLI NATURA® hardwax oil be re-oiled?

Re-oil as needed, not on a fixed schedule. If the water repellency decreases or the wood looks dry and dull, refresh the surface. How often it needs care depends on the type of wood and how heavily it is used.

How do you care for and clean surfaces treated with OLI NATURA® hardwax oil?

Protect freshly oiled surfaces from water until they have fully cured.

Regular cleaning: Remove dust and loose dirt when dry. Vacuum or sweep parquet floors regularly to prevent sand from causing fine scratches. If necessary, wipe the surface with a damp, not wet, cloth damp, not wet and immediately soak up any standing water. For heavier soiling, use OLI NATURA® wood soap . Avoid aggressive or abrasive cleaners.

When should the surface be refreshed?

If water repellency decreases or the wood appears dry and dull, refreshing it is advisable. Clean the surface beforehand and allow it to dry completely. For hardwax-oiled floors, stairs, and furniture, OLI NATURA® wood care wax is suitable OLI NATURA® wood care wax. How often refreshing is needed depends on the level of use.

How can scratches and signs of wear be repaired?

Damaged or more heavily worn areas can be spot-sanded and treated with OLI NATURA® hardwax oil. Completely sanding down the surface is generally not necessary.
