Care Instructions
Keep your timber product away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and extreme temperatures to prevent warping or cracking. Regularly dust and clean your timber product using a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Occasionally, apply a protective coating such as wax or oil to feed the timber and protect it from moisture and stains. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application and reapplication. Do not place hot or wet items directly on the timber surface as it can cause discolouration and damage the finish. Avoid dragging or sliding heavy objects on the timber surface as it can scratch or damage the finish. If your timber product has any scratches or dents, use a touch-up pen, a wax stick or wood filler to repair it. For additional advice, please contact us.
