Oiled Wood Surface
Most of our solid wood furniture have an hand polished natural oil finish, providing excellent protection. Compare to a Varnish, a good oil finish brings out all the natural subtleties of wood, since the oil penetrates and nourishes the wood grain, which gives a unique character and a warm touch. With such a finish, it’s recommended and very easy to maintain your furniture through time. With a little attention and effort, your furniture should have a very long life, far beyond your expectations.
Regular cleaning is easy with a soft cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners, soaps or scouring pads. Only neutral Ph cleaners can be used for the most stubborn stains.
Here’s a little guide for your Daily & Annual maintenance.
