Manns Premier Door Oil

Manns Premier Door Oil is a premier grade door oil for all wooden interior doors. Based on a hard wax oil formula, it's highly durable, water, dirt, scuff and scratch resistant. It is easy to apply, maintain and patch repair making it ideal for busy domestic and commercial environments.

Please note: Always check the manufacturers label on the door or with the door manufacturer before applying a door finish to confirm suitability.

Ensure that doors to be oiled are clean, dry and free from dust, dirt or any other surface contaminants.

• Previously oiled doors should be lightly sanded or wiped down with methylated spirit to clean and degrease
• Doors previously waxed must be stripped with a wax and polish remover
• Old coatings of paint, varnish or stain must be completely removed by sanding or with a paint & varnish stripper
• Fill any gaps or splits in the door with Manns Trade Mix and Fill or other suitable wood filler
• Remove all traces of sanding dust with a vacuum cleaner or by wiping down with a lint-free cloth
• If desired, stain the door to the required shade

If a change of door colour is desired, softwood doors such as pine can be stained with Manns Classic Pine Stain whilst hardwood doors such as oak can be stained with Manns Classic Oak Stain to achieve the desired effect. If a solvent-based stain is preferred, use Manns Trade Light Fast Wood Stain.

Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.

1. Stir the contents of the tin thoroughly before and periodically during use
2. Apply Manns Door Oil with a good quality natural bristle brush
3. Apply thinly, working in the direction of the wood grain
4. Remove any excess with a clean, lint-free cloth
5. Apply two thin coats of door oil for the best protection
6. If possible, apply to all sides of the door including edges prior to installation

Regular Cleaning

Wooden doors can be wiped clean with a soft, lint-free cloth. Stubborn dirt, scuffs and shoe marks can be cleaned by using a dedicated pH balanced wood cleaner applied with a microfibre cloth. Never use household detergents or cleaners on oiled surfaces as they can degrade or strip the finish over time.

Maintenance

To maintain the finish and its protective properties, re-apply a fresh coat of Manns Premier Door Oil as and when required, following the Preparation and Application instructions above.

Manns Door Oil is perfect for a whole range of interior oak doors including solid wood, engineered and veneered. Made from a blend of natural oils and waxes the oil penetrates the surface grain of internal doors to protect them from grease, dirt, moisture, scuffs and stains. The microporous nature of oil finish means that it will not crack, peel, flake or blister. Always check with the door supplier or manufacturer to ensure that the door is suitable for oiling before applying any oil
