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.
Fading and 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.
Keeping dry: 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.
Annual sealing: 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.
