Care, Maintenance & Recycling
By following our care & maintenance instructions, you’ll keep your products in good condition and extend their lifespan.
The wood gets old
All our indoor products are made of wood (pinus sylvestris) and finished with stain-resistant, water-repellent, matte wood oil (we use Osmo Color hardwax-oil 3062 matt).
Pine will naturally change colour as it ages. Our products will start reacting with UV light very quickly once unboxed and start changing colour towards a beautiful honey tone.
General cleaning
Always wipe the surface of your product clean and dry of liquids as soon as possible. Wipe your product regularly using a soft cloth dampened with a solution of water and neutral detergent. Keep chemical exposure to a minimum and avoid rubbing.
Stain removal
Remove stains using a soft cloth and neutral detergent. In case wiping with neutral detergent does not clean the surface, you can try to remove the stains using natural matte wood oil or wax. Use a clean cloth and apply the oil along the grain. Wipe any excess oil off.
Care
We celebrate rather than hide the aging and natural characteristics of pine, and our products do not necessarily require regular maintenance. However, to keep your product in the best possible condition, you can clean it gently with a fine abrasive sanding cloth once every 2 to 5 years (we recommend using 320-grit sanding cloth). Always sand along the grain. After sanding, treat the product with matte wood oil or wax. Let the oil impregnate for 10 minutes and wipe the rest off. Use a clean cloth along the grain to dry and polish the surface. You can also treat the product with matte wood oil or wax without sanding, but we recommend sanding because it cleans stains and small scratches and helps the oil or wax to absorb.
