Wet look floor

[Gasman77]

Evening all,

We have a new ( 1 year old ) oak floor, coffee coloured. I do like it but today I mopped it and it looked awesome when it was wet, kinda glossy , as its matt when its dry.

Is there any kind of sealant/stain/wax that will keep that look? and is it fairly easy to put on the floor?

Cheers!

when I say I mopped it, it was the royal I....... what should I use to clean it? it was a dryish mop

Any takers?

What sort of finish do you have on the floor at the moment. Oil or lacquer?
If it's lacquer there are high gloss polishes around that you can burnish to a high gloss, but it will take work to keep it looking good.

To make this work you would also need a buffing machine unless you fancy spending hours on your hands and knees.
