wood
Used in the manufacture of our furniture, they are sensitive to variations in temperature and humidity. These living woods may therefore show slight
cracking according to seasons and climates. This natural phenomenon in no way alters the quality of our furniture and gives it a certain charm.
Varnished wood (satin or gloss):
- Dust with a soft cloth as often as you like.
- If the item is very dusty, clean with a slightly damp non-abrasive sponge. Then wipe with a soft, dry, non-fluffy cloth.
- To bring the shine back, use a silicon-based aerosol product (for furniture).
- Do not use wax or any wax-based product.
- Do not expose to direct sunlight, position near a source of heat or in a location open to the elements (dampness, rain, etc.).
Varnished wood (matt):
- Dust with a soft cloth as often as you like.
- If the item is very dusty, clean with a slightly damp non-abrasive sponge. Then wipe with a soft, dry, non-fluffy cloth.
- Do not use wax or any wax-based product.
- Do not expose to direct sunlight, position near a source of heat or in a location open to the elements (dampness, rain, etc.).
Waxed wood:
- Wood which is covered by wax only is sensitive to staining.
- Dust with a soft cloth as often as you like.
- Dust more thoroughly with a duster and dust-repelling aerosol once a week.
- Once or twice a year, wipe the item over with wax polish - as beeswax does not adhere very well, use a mixture of beeswax and vegetable wax.
- Leave to dry, then rub with a very dry woollen cloth to bring out the shine.
- If your furniture has been wax polished too often, it will be slightly sticky to the touch. You need to clean out the wood. Use turps for this.
- Do not expose to direct sunlight, position near a source of heat or in a location open to the elements (dampness, rain, etc.).
Lacquered or painted wood (not varnished):
- Dust your lacquered or painted furniture with a damp cloth then wipe as soon as possible with a soft, dry, non-fluffy cloth.
- Do not expose to direct sunlight, position near a source of heat or in a location open to the elements (dampness, rain, etc.).
