Wood Care

Maintenance

Please note: All wooden products needs to be kept under a covered patio

The maintenance of wooden products can be done in 2 different ways. You can either choose to oil your set regularly or to put a sealant/varnish on your set once a year. For detailed description of each, please refer below.

Cleaning

Use a dry, clean cloth to dust your furniture weekly and help maintain its lustre and prevent staining.

For Maintenance and Care using oil:

Please remember that when you oil your set for the first time the natural colour of the wood will come out (Some sets will have natural flames/grains that will come out). The colour may darken or have a wet appearance all depending of the type of wood.

For the first 6 months your set needs to be oiled every month with Woodoc Patio Oil or any other treatment oil with a wax base. Important note: Use oil that is colourless.
Thereafter the set needs to be oiled every 2nd month.

Since wood is living and breathing, it expand and contract due to weather conditions and we strongly recommend tightening bolts and screws during the winter months.

For Maintenance and Care using a sealant/varnish:

We recommend using Rystix Sealants which come in 2 options: Namely water based and solvent based.

Water based: We recommend 2 initial coatings on untreated wood or clean wood. Thereafter application will range from 6 months to 9 months depending on the exposure to weather conditions. This product has a matt appearance.
Note: Before re-application the set needs to be cleaned thoroughly, we recommend washing your set with sugar soap.

Recommendations

Solvent based: We recommend 2 initial coatings on untreated wood or clean wood. Thereafter application will range from 9 months to 12 months depending on the exposure to weather conditions. This product has a glossy appearance.
Note: Before re-application the set needs to be cleaned thoroughly, we recommend washing your set with sugar soap.
