The less your floor is exposed to sunlight, the less it will discolour. So make sure you have good blinds.
In addition, you can maintain the colour of your oiled floor by regularly, weekly for example, treating it with conditioning natural soap. This product contains a small amount of oil that is absorbed by the wood. Natural soap is available in the colours white, natural and dark.
Let us say that you have a wooden floor that is showing yellow discolouration. If you treat the floor with natural soap with a white pigment for a few weeks, the floor will turn a shade lighter. You can determine how often you do this and how large the effect will be yourself.
It is not possible to use oil to recover the colour of a lacquered floor. This is because the lacquer layer seals the floor, so that nothing else can be absorbed by it. In order to change the colour of the floor, it first has to be sanded with a belt sander. After that, you can reapply lacquer or oil the floor.
Be aware that sanding a wooden floor is very painstaking work. Holding the machine in one place for as little as half a second too long can immediately cause a difference in level. That is why we recommend having it done by a professional.
