Ethnicraft Oak Upholstered Eye Dining Chair

For our collections we only use oak sourced from managed forests in Europe. Our oak furniture is finished with a pigmented hardwax oil. This protective finish forms a natural coating, repelling most common substances and fluids, but is no foolproof guarantee against stains.

 

Daily care of Oak Furniture

• For regular dusting, use a dry, non-fluffy cloth
• For cleaning, use a damp sponge or cloth (not too wet) with a mild solution of water and natural soap (no detergent)

 

For cleaning & surface refreshing

For refreshing the surface of the furniture when the wood starts to feel dry or for removing stains, we recommend Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner (3029).

Do not use this product daily. The Liquid Wax Cleaner is not guaranteed against stains.

This is not applicable to the Blackstone Ellipse

 

Stubborn stains & repairs

Through time and depending on wear, the original hardwax coating on the furniture may need to be renewed. Make sure the surface is clean and dry. Use extra fine sand paper (minimum 320 grit) and work in the direction of the wood grain, then apply the Osmo Hardwax Oil Natural (3041). The oil protection is no guarantee against stains.

Note that for the Oak Blackstone Ellipse table, apply only the daily care treatment.

 

Additional Information

 

The upholstery our the fabric and velvet sofas is not allowed to be washed. Taking off the cushion covers and washing these in a machine (even at low temperature) will lighten the colour and shrink the fabric.

If pilling should occur, don't be alarmed. It's a result of excess fibre coming off the fabric or from external sources. This is not a defect but a characteristic of many upholstered fabrics.

To keep your sofa in optimal condition we recommend the following:

• Avoid placing the sofa in direct sunlight.
• If vacuuming is needed, use the lowest suction and a soft upholstery attachment.
• Treat spills immediately. Blot up as much of the spill as possible with a clean, dry, white cloth. Don´t rub.
• In case of a stain, use a clean, slightly damp white cloth, blotting from the outer edge to the centre of the stain.
• Do not use any chemical products not designed for polyester.
• To remove pilling, we recommend using an antipilling machine.

 

Metal Structure

• Dust regularly using a soft dry cloth.
• For a more thorough cleaning, use mild soap and warm water. Rinse with clean water and wipe dry.
• Do not use steel wool, sandpaper, mineral acid, bleach, or chlorine cleaners on metal surfaces.
• Do not drag the furniture along the floor, as it might damage the protective coating, cause rusting or leave permanent marks on the floor.
• Always lift the furniture when moving them from place to place.
