ᐅ Issue with WICANDERS Cork Flooring – Static Electricity buildup

Hello everyone,

We have installed the following flooring in our upper floor for about a year now: WICANDERS Vinyl woo Resist ECO Field Oak.

We are very impressed with the quality of the flooring, but we have the problem that it seems like every single hair sticks to the floor and can’t be picked up by the vacuum cleaner. The floor is definitely statically charged—sometimes you can’t even remove some hairs by hand.

Has anyone had similar experiences or knows what can be done about this?

Good luck

What is your humidity level when the problem occurs?

The problem occurs almost constantly. Thanks to the ventilation system, we also have very good humidity levels. In winter, it tends to be around 35%, otherwise around 50%.

Problem solution:
Just look for "anti-static floor cleaner" in stores.
With regular use, this should solve the problem!

I haven’t actually found a cleaning product that works as an anti-static agent. Is there perhaps another term for this?

Or could you possibly recommend a specific product?

I should not make recommendations in order to remain neutral.
Nonetheless, here is a note from the hygiene store:

Anti-static plastic cleaner and care product

Why "plastic cleaner"?
Because the surface protection of the cork flooring is a film-like plastic coating.
And in some cases, this can cause electrostatic effects.
