CARE INSTRUCTIONS 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 air 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 air humidity. Do not place the furniture in direct sunlight and make sure that the entire wooden surface is exposed to the same amount of light, otherwise there is a risk of colour differences 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 OILED WOODEN FURNITURE
 
  • Oiled surfaces should be treated with furniture oil before the furniture is used and then regularly 2–3 times per year or as needed. This applies especially to the table top, in order to maintain resistance to stains and scratches.

  • Clean with a well-wrung soft cloth containing only water or a mild soap solution. Always wipe dry afterwards with a dry cloth.

  • 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 OILED FURNITURE

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.
