Mantaining your furniture

Lacquered finishes:

Maintenance is straightforward with the furniture requiring no more than regular cleaning with a good quality furniture polish.

Wax finishes:

In general, wax finishes require a little more attention than lacquered finishes but usually no more than occasional re-waxing with specialist waxes available from your local pine furniture stockist.

This is a simple task that can be undertaken with no specialist skill and your local Pinetum stockist will be more than happy to advise on the best wax to match you furniture and how to apply it.

Oil Finishes:

To maintain the finish of your oiled Furniture, we recommend regular treatments with Danish Oil. Since leaving the factory, your furniture may have spent some time in transport and storage and a treatment soon after you take delivery may benefit the appearance of your furniture followed by six monthly intervals should suffice though more frequent applications can be applied. Areas of heavy usage, such as table tops or tops of chests, will benefit from more frequent applications.

Oiling could not be easier. Simply apply a thin coat with a soft, lint free cloth and leave for 5-10 minutes for the oil to penetrate, before removing any excess. Leave for a further 30 minutes and wipe dry. Always pay careful attention to all manufacturer´s instructions.

REMEMBER NEVER USE CHEMICALS, ABRASIVE MATERIALS OR CLEANERS ON YOUR PINETUM FURNITURE AS THESE MAY PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE WOOD SURFACE.
