OAK FURNITURE

OILED FURNITURE

Most of the Ethnicraft oak furniture is finished with a pigmented
hardwax oil. This finish gives the furniture its desired natural
color and forms a natural protective coating that acts as a
repellent against most common substances and liquids, but is
no foolproof guarantee against stains.

DAILY CARE
• For daily care of your furniture, use a damp cloth (not too
wet) with a mild solution of warm water and natural soap.
Do not use soap containing detergent and in case of a spill,
make sure you remove it immediately.
CLEANING & REFRESHING THE SURFACE
• To refresh your furniture or to remove absorbed stains
(crayons or pencil marks, wine stains, fruit juice stains,
etc.) we recommend Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner (3029).
This product cleans, regenerates and slightly reinforces
the original protective coating. For the correct application,
please see the Maintenance Guide on our website.

YEARLY CARE
• As time goes by, depending on the amount of wear the
furniture gets, the original hardwax coating may need to
be renewed. We recommend using Osmo Hardwax Oil
Natural (3041). For the correct application, please see the
Maintenance Guide on our website. Please note that it is
important to remove excess product after application to

and that Ethnicraft cannot be held responsible for the results. You will find varnished items clearly indicated in this catalogue.
Varnish offers a good protection against stains, while preserving
the natural look of the oak furniture. Even with this preventative
treatment, spills should be removed immediately. If the liquid
or substance is left to penetrate the wood over a period of time,
the furniture will eventually get stained.

DAILY CARE
• For daily care of your furniture, use a damp cloth (not too
wet) with a mild solution of warm water and natural soap.
Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents as these might
damage the varnish.
