WOOD CARE GUIDELINES
Wood requires some care and attention over its lifetime to ensure a
long-lasting beautiful finish. Proper cleaning and maintenance will keep your
wood products looking beautiful for a long time. Please follow these
guidelines to maintain your wood surfaces.
Fadingand weathering: Wood is a natural product and is expected to change over
time. Long periods of sun exposure can naturally lead to color fading. Weather
extremes, temperature fluctuations, and humidity highs/lows cause wood to
expand and contract, possibly leading to warping and cracking. Knots and small
surface cracks are naturally occurring and do not affect the strength of the product.
Keepingdry: Prolonged moisture and high or low humidity can be harmful for wood.
Cracking or splitting from extremes outside of the normal humidity range of 35-65%
are not covered by our warranty. Preventing prolonged exposure to moisture is
advisable.
Cleaning: Frequent light cleaning is recommended. Dust regularly using a slightly
damp soft cloth, and then wipe dry (following the direction of the wood grain). For
more thorough cleaning, use a soft cloth and a gentle soap solution (dilute ¼ cup
mild dishwashing liquid soap with 1 gallon of warm water). Rinse with water, and
then immediately dry the surfaces using a soft cloth. Do not use bleach, acid, or
other solvents on any metal parts or surfaces. Minor stains or scratches can be
lightly buffed with No.0000 steel wool, followed by an application of good quality
wood-care oil, wiping in the direction of the grain.
Annualsealing: It is advisable to annually maintain the wooden parts with a sealant
or outdoor wax/oil to protect and enhance the wood surfaces. Twice yearly, after
cleaning, apply a good quality wood-care oil or water-based sealant to the surfaces.
Recommended options are outdoor water-based sealant, linseed, teak, or tung oil.
Refer to the manufacturer's specific instructions for application. It is best to try on a
small section of wood, then if satisfied with the result, continue the application,
taking care to avoid any metal surfaces.
