Dos & Don'ts
Things to know...
While all of our wood is expertly sanded and finished to the highest standards, there are a few important details you should know.
How to clean?
For cleaning wood, use a mild dish soap diluted with water to avoid damaging the finish while removing dirt. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Key points:
- Mild soap: Use liquid dish soap for handwashing, not dishwasher detergent.
- Dilute with water: Mix a small amount of soap with warm water.
- Soft cloth: Apply with a soft, damp cloth and wipe gently.
- Dry thoroughly: Always dry with a clean, dry cloth.
AVOIDS: Alcohol, Ammonia, Harsh Soap and water
About scratches...
To prevent scratches, avoid using hard or sharp objects on the table. For office desks, we recommend using a mouse pad in the main work area.
If your desktop accumulates scratches over time, don’t worry – we offer refinishing services for an additional fee.
About heat resistance...
Avoid placing hot objects directly on the table to protect the coating. For dining tables, use a coaster to shield the surface from hot dishes.
