HARDWAX OILED WOODEN FURNITURE

GIVE YOUR WOODEN FURNITURE A GOOD PLACE

Wood is a beautiful and very much living natural material, whose appearance and size are affected by light, temperature and humidity. Thin cracks between joined wooden parts may occur and are a result of the material moving, which is completely normal.

To minimise the risk of cracks and movement, it is important that the furniture is placed in an environment with an even temperature and humidity. Do not place the furniture in direct sunlight and ensure that the entire wooden surface is exposed to the same amount of light, otherwise there is a risk of colour variations on the surface.

For dining tables, do not forget to insert the extension or additional leaf at regular intervals, so that it can mature in step with the rest of the table.

 

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR HARDWAX-OILED WOODEN FURNITURE

  • Clean with a well-wrung soft cloth containing only water or a mild detergent, for example Rubio Monocoat Surface Care. Always wipe dry afterwards with a dry cloth.

  • To maintain lustre and resistance to dirt and liquids, the surface can be maintained with Rubio Monocoat Refresh Eco. Refresh Eco is a pigment-free emulsion that can be used as needed, for example a few times per month. If the table is used less frequently, and if you are careful, for example by using placemats and coasters, it may never be needed, or only a few times per year.

  • Temperature and humidity affect how wood shrinks and swells. This may cause doors, legs, drawers and extension leaves to vary in fit. You should therefore regularly adjust and retighten screws and fittings.

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT HARDWAX OILED FURNITURE

  • A simple way to check this is by doing a drop test.

    1. Place a drop of water on the table surface.
    2. Wait for about 1 minute.

    If the drop remains = The table is still saturated with oil and does not need a new treatment.

    If the drop is absorbed into the wood = The surface is dry and needs to be oiled again.

    1. The freezing method: Place an ice cube in a plastic bag and hold it against the wax. When it has hardened, carefully try to lift it off with a plastic card.

    2. The heat method: Place a paper towel over the wax and gently heat with an iron until it is absorbed.

  • Wood is a living material and sensitive to moisture, regardless of surface treatment.

    • Spills should always be wiped up immediately.

    • Avoid leaving moisture under tablecloths, placemats or coasters.

    • Regular treatment with colourless furniture oil or the recommended surface treatment for each table type reduces the risk of damage.

  • Yes, we recommend that you regularly check and retighten screws and fittings on your furniture, especially during seasonal changes. Wood is a living material that is affected by changes in temperature and humidity, which can cause screws and fittings to loosen slightly over time.
