WOCA Denmark Oils & Soaps in Australia

WOCA Denmark wood care is built on a simple cycle: oil the timber, then clean it with a soap from the same family. EcoGrit stocks the range in Melbourne for trade and DIY buyers Australia-wide, including interior floor oils, Exterior Wood Oil, lyes and Pre-colour for changing the base tone, and soaps, refreshers and cleaners for ongoing care. For interior floors, Diamond Oil Active is WOCA's premium single-component, hard-wearing oil for untreated or newly sanded timber in all species, available in Natural, White and a range of colours. Outside, WOCA Exterior Wood Oil is a plant-based, water-carried penetrating oil with built-in UV protection for decks, pergolas, fencing and outdoor furniture. Colour results vary by species, so test every product on an offcut of the same timber first.

How to choose a WOCA product

• Interior oiled floors: Diamond Oil Active suits homes and commercial floors that need maximum durability. Hardwax Oil Extreme combines oil and wax in a breathable, low-VOC finish in Natural or White.
• Decks and outdoor timber: clean with Exterior Wood Cleaner, let the timber dry completely (at least 24 to 48 hours), sand rough fibres with 120 grit, then apply Exterior Wood Oil in thin, even coats. Use Exterior Wood Primer first on absorbent or non-pressure-treated softwoods such as pine, but not on red cedar or pressure-treated hardwood. For untreated furniture, pergolas and fences you want to keep silver-grey, use Exterior Wood Shield.
• Changing the colour: Wood Lye (White or Grey) reduces yellowing on all species, Softwood Lye is for pine, spruce and larch, Driftwood Lye and Antique Oak Lye react with the tannins in oak, and Pre-colour is a water-based stain in White, Grey or Black. These are interior pre-treatments that do not protect the timber, so finish with a WOCA oil.
• Raw, untreated look: the Invisible Oil system, Invisible Oil Primer followed by Invisible Oil, keeps an authentic untreated appearance, with Invisible Oil Care for maintenance.
• Cleaning and care: Natural Soap for weekly cleaning of oiled floors, Oil Refresher to clean and re-oil in one step, and Intensive Wood Cleaner before re-oiling. For lacquered floors, use Master Cleaner Soap and Master Care.
