Oiling parquet again - moving furniture away or oiling around it, experiences

I have had oiled parquet flooring in the house for almost a year now that urgently needs to be re-oiled. Do I do this around the furniture, or do I have to completely clear the room first before oiling?

Originally, 2 coats of Osmo Hardwax Oil were applied. Since I rarely mop, the wood has become quite dry anyway. I have now wiped it once with Osmo TopOil and some linseed oil from the kitchen, but left the furniture in place.

Does it harm the parquet if the areas under the furniture are not oiled? How do you do it and what are your experiences?

No.

Do I oil around the furniture or do I have to clear the entire room first before oiling?

We have always oiled around, except of course the table and chairs. In the last apartment, we didn't oil at all for years, but only vacuumed and wiped damp every 3-6 months (with care product).

Thank you, . That was the answer that makes me happiest.

I would put away the table and chairs or all movable items. After all, oiling (professionally) always goes in the same direction, with the grain, if I remember correctly.

Yes, the movable furniture is no problem. I can quickly push it aside and put it back the next day. I started by mopping with oil in the mop water (and then on my hands :rolleyes: ). Soon I will tackle the oiling. While mopping, it becomes clear to me that I am glad I don't have such a big house. :D

May I ask how you oil? I am having the parquet installed by a company, but not oiled (I find the price too expensive). Which oil should I use and how do I oil it best?
