REGULAR CLEANING
When dirty
We advise regular cleaning with Inox Cleaner and
Protector.
Wood
DAY TO DAY CLEANING
Clean regularly and after every use
Wood doesn't need much maintenance, but the
better you treat it, the longer it will last. Cleaning
the wood regularly and immediately after use with
a damp cloth will prevent fluids from penetrating
deep into the wood. An oiled table will absorb liquids
less quickly, keeping it clean for longer. To remove
stubborn remains of dirt, simply use a stiff brush
and some water. Be careful not to permanently
damage the fibres. For this reason, never ever use a
high-pressure cleaner to clean wood.
CLEANING
Once or twice a year
Depending on the weather conditions, wood needs
a descent polish at least once a year. We would
recommend to do this before Spring and before
Winter, if your furniture is outside the whole year
round. Pick one of those humid, cloudy days, as it
is better for the moisture level in the wood to dry out
slowly after cleaning. For a thorough cleaning, we
can recommend our Extremis Wood Cleaner. This
is a bio-degradable cleansing shampoo for wooden
furniture. The product removes grey discolouration,
green deposits and dirt. Should any cracks appear,
you can simply sand them down by hand using 80
grit sandpaper.
OILING
Once a year
You are free to protect your wood from UV, inclement
weather and stains. Needless to say we strongly
recommend to do this once a year. Extremis Wood
Protector is a 100% natural product based on linseed
oil. It is colourless, but the wood will be darker
after this treatment. 0. Remove all residues of old
applications.
MACHINE SANDING
Only every 2 to 4 years
After a few years, there will be little cracks and ma-
ybe some warping in your wood. This is completely
normal, because wood is a natural, living material.
Solid wood has the great benefit that you can sand
away the top layer to make the surface smooth and
flat again. You can do this every two to four years
with a hand-held sander. Do it on a dry day. Use 80-
grit sandpaper for this.
REPLACING A WOODEN PART
Hey! You don't need to be an engineer to understand
our products. And you don't even need to be great
at DIY to replace a part. Do make sure that you can't
repair the damage simply by sanding the slat.

CLEANING
Regularly
Remove dust and fingerprints using a microfibre
cloth. Remove small stains using a cleaning cloth
and spray cleaner/indoor surface cleaner.
Clean badly soiled panels wet all over. Use a cle-
aning cloth and water containing indoor surface
cleaner to wet the surface. Then dry with a well-rin-
sed and wrung-out cloth.
REMOVING STAINS
Only if nothing else helps
Remove stains as soon as they occur! Remove cof-
fee, tea, alcohol immediately before the substances
begin to act on the tabletop. Take precautions by
using coasters.

CLEANING
Regularly
Dust regularly using a lightly dampened cloth in the
direction of the wood grain, never across the grain.
Wipe dry with a soft cloth immediately afterwards.
Do not use too much water and, above all, do not le-
ave any residual water. Do not use abrasive cleaning
agents or aggressive solvents!
In case of spillage of soft drinks, beer, coffee, tea,
wine, etc. and even water
Soak up the liquid immediately with a damp cloth
and dry the area with a dry cloth or chamois leather.
Use a soft cloth and particularly not paper towels.
These can scratch the surface. Shrinkage or staining
caused by moisture are therefore not covered by the
guarantee.
