Damage prevention

To safeguard surfaces we recommend applying rubber or felt pads to any objects you place on worktops that may have rough and abrasive bases. Clean spills of water and other liquids as soon as possible. When cleaning, ensure that the cloth or sponge is only slightly damp and never dripping with water. Do not use vinegar, bleach or other aggressive cleaners on wood. Never use a steam cleaner on your surface. Use a chopping board for food preparation - do not chop directly on wooden worktops.

Cleaning

It is very important to keep wooden surfaces clean. Dust, dirt and grit should be regularly removed using a damp cloth, or a vacuum cleaner with a soft attachment. If allowed to build up, dust, dirt or grit can act like sandpaper, scratching and dulling your finish. Everyday cleaning can be done with a damp cloth.

Surface maintenance

Depending on the amount of wear that your furniture receives, the surface finish should be refreshed from time to time with Rubio Monocoat Universal Maintenance Oil (make sure to choose the same color as the original finish) or Osmo Topoil (depending on the final finish). Start by cleaning the surfaces thoroughly, Next, apply a small amount of the product with a cloth or sponge. Wipe off the excess within 15 minutes using a cloth. Do it with long and straight motions along the wood grain. Let dry for 12 - 24 hours. We recommend not doing this under direct sunlight, and to work in manageable batches, so the hardwax oil doesn’t get the chance to dry before wiping off. NB! Oily rags and sponges can self ignite. Soak them in water before disposing.

Damage repair

Deeper scratches and extensive liquid damage can be repaired with Rubio Monocoat Oil+2C or Osmo Topoil (depending on the final finish). Sand the damaged area lightly with 150 grit sandpaper, until the defect has been sanded out. Remove all dust from the surface with mineral spirits or alcohol and let dry.

For surfaces treated with Rubio Monocoat:
Mix together the Rubio Monocoat Oil+2c components A and B according to the instructions on the package and apply with a cloth or sponge. Remove the excess within 15 minutes using a cloth. Do it with long and straight motions along the wood grain. Let dry for 12 - 24 hours.

For surfaces treated with Osmo Topoil:
Apply a coat of Osmo Topoil thinly along the wood grain with
a microfibre roller, or flat brush and blend with surrounding areas.

NB! Oily rags and sponges can self ignite. Soak them in water before disposing.
