Cloth wax

KREIDEZEIT Lappenwachs (cloth wax) is a classic product that has proven itself for more than 25 years. It is named after the usual method of application with a cloth (on large surfaces it can be brushed on diluted 1:1 with balsam turpentine oil). The high linseed oil content ensures deep penetration, while the beeswax fills the pores and gives a surface that is pleasant to the touch and warm to the hand.

It contains neither solvents nor water and consists exclusively of oils and waxes of natural origin. The beeswax has been gently decolourised using bleaching earth, without chemical bleaching. Can be tinted with KREIDEZEIT pigments. Not for floors, kitchen worktops or exterior use.

Frequently asked questions

How do I apply cloth wax?
Work in thinly with a cloth, allow to soak in briefly, remove any excess and buff once it has begun to dry. For large areas, dilute 1:1 with balsam turpentine oil and apply with a brush.

Suitable for floors?
No. For floors, use KREIDEZEIT floor hard oil, wood hard oil or hardwax oil.

Can I tint cloth wax?
Yes, with KREIDEZEIT earth and mineral pigments.

Cloth wax or Saflor cloth wax?
Saflor cloth wax hardly yellows – ideal for light surfaces and those tinted with titanium white. Otherwise, both are equivalent.
