Floor Cleaning and Maintenance
Wood Floor Cleaning & Maintenance
The right wood floor cleaner lifts dirt without stripping the finish. The wrong one, like a supermarket spray or a steam mop, is the most common cause of wooden floor damage we see. Marldon’s range is formulated specifically for timber: pH-neutral hardwood floor cleaners safe on lacquered, oiled and engineered wood, maintenance oils to re-feed oiled floors, and refreshers that revive lacquered boards without silicone residue.
Dry-clean regularly, damp-mop with a proper wooden floor cleaner, and keep steam and standing water away from the boards. Unsure which product suits your finish? Get in touch. We’ve supplied the flooring trade long enough to have seen every mistake worth avoiding.

Our Cleaning & Maintenance Collection
Our range covers everything from everyday cleaning to long-term care. For everyday cleaning, the Marldon MXC770 Multicleaner, MXC710 Cleancare Concentrate and MXC735 Floor Cleaner Concentrate — plus our Spray Mop Cleaning Kit — keep floors spotless without damaging finishes. Our wood floor maintenance oil and wax range, including the MXC780 Satin Oil and MXC700/705 Liquid Wax Care, nourishes and protects, while the MXC745 Refresher brings back shine to worn or tired-looking floors. For everyday protection, our Felt Furniture Feet and MFP80 Fleece Floor Protection (20m² roll) guard against scratches and daily wear.
Different finishes need different care. High-traffic areas benefit from periodic refreshers or top-up oils and protective pads or mats. Oiled floors need regular wood floor care products to nourish and protect the surface, avoiding harsh detergents. Waxed floors keep their shine with a gentle polish and frequent light cleaning. Lacquered floors should have spills cleaned immediately with a pH-neutral wood floor cleaner. And whatever the finish, routine sweeping or vacuuming removes the grit that causes scratches.
Choose Marldon for trusted, tested hardwood floor care products across a comprehensive range that covers every type of wood finish, formulated with low-VOC, eco-friendly ingredients safe for family and pets. Our team offers reliable support and advice, and every product is simple enough for confident DIY use with professional results.
