LACQUERED OR STAINED WOOD
• Wipe with a clean cloth wrung in water or in a
solution of water and a neutral detergent. Remove
soap residue immediately using a clean, dry cloth.
• If the surface is scratched or appears matt, use
a care product especially suited to lacquered or
stained wood.
• Avoid using detergents containing silicone, as they
seal the stain in and make subsequent repairs more
difficult.
• Avoid using scouring cream or scouring pads,
as they may scratch the surface.
SOAPED WOOD
• Wipe with a clean cloth wrung in water or in a
solution of water and a neutral detergent or soap
flakes. Remove soap residue immediately using a
clean, dry cloth.
• To remove stains, clean and scrub using a thick
solution of soap flakes that should not stay on the
wood for more than two minutes. Then remove the
remaining soap residue using a damp cloth.
• If the grain of the wood rises after cleaning, gently
sand down the wood using fine-grit sandpaper (No.
220), always going with the grain.
• If the surface is scratched or appears matt, use
a care product especially suited to soaped wood.
LINOLEUM
• Wipe with a clean cloth wrung in water or in a
solution of water and a neutral detergent or soap
flakes. Remove soap residue immediately using a
clean, dry cloth.
• If the surface is scratched or appears matt, use a
care product especially suited to linoleum.
• Stains may be carefully removed using white spirit
(mineral spirit) or a damp nano sponge dipped in
lukewarm water or linoleum care product. Follow up
immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Never use the
nano sponge dry.
• Avoid alkaline detergents such as soft (yellow
soap, washing soda, lye and scouring powder.
LAMINATE
• Wipe with a clean cloth wrung in water or in a solu-
tion of water and a neutral detergent. Remove soap
residue immediately using a clean, dry cloth.
• Stains may be carefully removed using household
ammonia or with a clean, damp cloth or a nano
sponge wrung in warm water. Never use the nano
sponge dry. Follow up immediately with a clean,
dry cloth.
• Avoid using scouring cream or scouring pads,
as they may scratch the surface.
CAUTION
With a little care you can prolong the life of your
furniture. Follow the instructions for the materials of
your specific product to make sure that it stays in
the best shape for as long as possible.
The information below is only intended as a
general guideline. For more information on how to
remove specific stains, please enquire where you
bought the furniture.
• Always remove stains quickly before they can do
any permanent damage to the furniture.
• Avoid placing the table in direct sunlight or near
a heat source to reduce changes. As wood is a
natural material, it will change in colour and will
patinate over time.
• When you move your furniture, make sure you lift it
rather than pulling or pushing it to avoid damaging
the floor, legs and mountings.
• Tighten up the screws after one to two months’
use and whenever required.
• Avoid improper use such as putting your feet
on the table or standing on it.
• Use coasters under damp, hot or coloured objects
to avoid permanent stains.
• Avoid partially covering the surface, for example
with tablecloths or place mats, as colour variances
may appear.
• Be careful not to scratch or damage the surface
with sharp objects.
