Kristina Dam Studio Care & Maintenance
To preserve the beauty and longevity of your products, it is essential to follow proper care and maintenance guidelines. Below, you will find recommendations based on different materials used in our collection.
Wood
Oiled Wood
Each wooden piece is unique, showcasing natural variations in grain, texture, and color. Wood is a living material that responds to humidity, temperature, and sunlight, leading to natural expansion and contraction. Small cracks may develop over time, which can be treated with wood oil. To maintain its beauty:
- Oil the surface once or twice a year or when it appears dry.
- Sand lightly with 240-grain sandpaper if necessary.
- Wipe with a clean, dry cloth after applying oil.
- Always use trivets to protect against heat and moisture.
Lacquered & Stained Wood
Lacquered wood offers a durable, protective finish, making it easier to maintain.
- Clean with a soft cloth dampened in mild soapy water.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning products.
