Regular cleaning:
- Dust with a dry cloth or a vacuum fitted with a soft brush
- Wipe stains with a slightly damp cloth
- Avoid harsh chemical products
Preventive treatment:
- Apply a suitable oil or wax once or twice a year
- Check the condition of the fixings periodically
- Lightly sand before re-treating if necessary
Maintenance varies according to the type of wood used: softer species require more care than naturally durable hardwoods.
