Equally the Bona Traffic HD provided a more "unfinished look", but also suffered the same fate, marking in the long test.

Like many of the finishes before it, the Bona HD was defeated by the washing up liquid. After just two hours it had marked and stripped the finish.Here at Treatex, we are passionate about everything wooden. Wood possesses qualities that no other material does - it is warm, smooth to touch and its dynamic colour and texture is a treat for the eye. We specialise in high-quality wood finishes that enhance the natural beauty of wood. Our finishes are also designed to protect your wood from any potential damage or wear. All Treatex finishes are easy to apply, attractive and very durable. Avoid overcrowding: Whilst it’s good to have variety, avoid adding so many objects that it begins to look cluttered. Give your decorative pieces breathing room or they’ll end up getting lost in the mess.

This combination was then applied to boards across and with the grain using a roller. Once dry, a further two coats were applied as before. Equally the test provided too much for the Blanchon Original Wood Environment and the Bona Traffic HD, once again the washing up liquid being the main culprit. Apply the 2nd coat using a good quality brush or microfibre roller. This coat must not be applied until the first coat is dry. Blanchon Hard Waxoil - Natural, Fiddes Hardwax Oil - Clear Satin and the Liberon Floor Varnish - Clear Satin were all, as far as we could see, free from any marks or stains.After successfully surviving the 2 hour test, the Rubio Monocoat was subjected to the 48 hour test. Natural Hardwax Oil contains a small amount of white pigment which allows it to be used in two different ways: All of the most well-thought out living rooms have a focal point - something that commands your attention when you enter a room - and for a lot of households this tends to be the mantelpiece.
