To preserve the natural look and longevity of the solid wood for years to come, the following care measures are recommended: - Regular cleaning: Wipe the wood with a dry or only slightly damp, lint-free cotton cloth. Absolutely avoid microfiber cloths, harsh household cleaners, or excessive moisture.
- Surface maintenance: Treat the solid wood every 6 to 8 months with a natural wood care oil or wax. This keeps the wood open-pored, protects against moisture, and preserves its silky sheen.
- Location and climate: Ensure a consistent room climate with a humidity level of 45 to 60% and avoid extreme dryness or direct heat sources to minimize cracking.
- Protection from light: Since wood darkens under sunlight, it should be exposed to light as evenly as possible to prevent color variations.
- Repairing minor damage: Scratches or light soiling can be carefully sanded with fine sandpaper in the direction of the grain and then treated with wood care oil. Dents can often be fixed by carefully steaming with a damp cloth and an iron.
