OILED WOOD
Wipe with a clean, dry cloth. If the surface
is dirty, wipe with a clean cloth wrung in
water or in a solution of water and a neutral
detergent or soap flakes. Remove any soap
residue immediately using a clean, dry
cloth. Never use soft soap or solvents such
as spirit, turpentine or acetone.
Avoid using scouring cream or scouring
pads, as they may scratch the surface. If
the surface is scratched or appears matt,
make sure to use an oil hardening care
product specifically designed to maintain
oiled wooden surfaces.
Clean the furniture thoroughly (12 hours)
before applying the oil to all surfaces. To
ensure optimal absorbency, gently sand
down the wood using fine-grit sandpaper
(No. 180 or 240), always sanding in the
direction of the grain. Apply the oil
generously using a clean cloth or a sponge,
always applying in the direction of the
grain. Do not pour the oil directly on the
surface.
– CARE GUIDE –
When the surface is glistening, leave
the oil on for around two hours until fully
absorbed. Remove any excess oil with a
clean lint-free cloth. Leave the furniture
to dry overnight (min. 12 hours) and avoid
placing anything on the surface before it is
completely dry.
If the grain of the wood rises after oiling,
gently sand down the wood using fine-grit
sandpaper (No. 180 or 240), always sanding
in the direction of the grain. To optimally
maintain the naturally beautiful appearance
of the wood, we recommend you
regularly treat the furniture's surface with
oil whenever it appears dull, scratched or
as needed.
