– CARE GUIDE –

OILED WOOD

Wipe with a clean, dry cloth. If the surface 
is dirty, wipe with a clean cloth wrung in 
water or in a solution of water and a neutral 
detergent or soap flakes. Remove any soap 
residue immediately using a clean, dry 
cloth. Never use soft soap or solvents such 
as spirit, turpentine or acetone.

Avoid using scouring cream or scouring 
pads, as they may scratch the surface. If 
the surface is scratched or appears matt, 
make sure to use an oil hardening care 
product specifically designed to maintain 
oiled wooden surfaces.

Clean the furniture thoroughly (12 hours) 
before applying the oil to all surfaces. To 
ensure optimal absorbency, gently sand 
down the wood using fine-grit sandpaper 
(No. 180 or 240), always sanding in the  
direction of the grain. Apply the oil  
generously using a clean cloth or a sponge, 
always applying in the direction of the 
grain. Do not pour the oil directly on the 
surface.

When the surface is glistening, leave 
the oil on for around two hours until fully 
absorbed. Remove any excess oil with a 
clean lint-free cloth. Leave the furniture 
to dry overnight (min. 12 hours) and avoid 
placing anything on the surface before it is 
completely dry.

If the grain of the wood rises after oiling, 
gently sand down the wood using fine-grit 
sandpaper (No. 180 or 240), always sanding 
in the direction of the grain. To optimally 
maintain the naturally beautiful appearance 
of the wood, we recommend you  
regularly treat the furniture’s surface with 
oil whenever it appears dull, scratched or 
as needed.
