Ethnicraft Teak Light Frame Mirror

Our teak collection comes without a finish, or any kind of protective treatment. The wood is merely polished, allowing the natural oils to rise to the surface. The high density of teak has the advantage that stains stay on the surface and do not penetrate into the wood easily.

 

Daily care of Teak Furniture

• For regular dusting, use a dry, non-fluffy cloth
• For cleaning, use a damp – not too wet – sponge or cloth with a mild
  solution of water and natural soap (no detergent). Frequent cleaning with a natural soap solution will gradually build up a protective layer: as the wood absorbs the soap, it will become more stain repellent.

 

For cleaning & surface refreshing

If you want to protect the wood from the start, give your furniture a protective coating. We recommend Osmo Hardwax Oil, clear mat (3062). This finish seals the pores of the timber, forming a natural protection.

Even then stains and marks should be removed immediately. If the liquid or substance are left to penetrate the wood, the furniture will eventually get stained.

This product will darken the wood slightly.

 

Stubborn stains & repairs

Use extra fine sand paper (minimum 320 grit) in the direction of the wood grain and apply the Osmo Hardwax Oil, clear mat (3062).

 

Additional Information

 

Wood

The Ethnicraft items are varnished with a water-based topcoat to repel common substances and fluids, such as coffee, tea and wine.

However, the protective coat is no fool proof guarantee against stains.

In case of a spill, remove it immediately.

For regular dusting, use a dry cloth. For a more thorough cleaning, use furniture polish with a soft cloth.

 

Glass & Mirrors

Wipe the glass or mirror surface with a neutral glass cleaner and soft cloth.

 

Metal

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.
