Maintenance & Care

Finish: Natural Oil

This guide applies to products with a natural oiled finish.
Oiling the surface generously in the first period saturates the
wood, building a stronger barrier against moisture and stains.
Regular maintenance oiling afterwards keeps this protection
intact and the product beautiful for years to come.

Reapplication of Natural Furniture Oil

Clean the surface with mild soapy water.

Wipe the surface dry, then apply a natural furniture oil.
This could be our own maintenance oil, which is developed for
the original finish and available on our website.

In case of heavy wear on solid wood, sand the surface lightly with 220–280 grit
sandpaper until the surface is even and smooth before applying oil. Always sand in
the direction of the grain, and clean the surface afterwards with a damp cloth.

Veneered surfaces should not be sanded,
as the thin wood layer can easily be sanded through.

Follow the instructions for application,
drying time and removal on the oil product you are using.

Do not cover the surface until the oil has set.

Daily Cleaning

Use a clean, dry cloth, ideally cotton.

Avoid scouring pads or synthetic cloths as these may cause scratches.
To remove dirt, use a damp cotton cloth firmly wrung in clean water.
Never use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents, as these may damage damage the furniture.

Use cleaning agents without solvents and only mild soap
