Furniture care

Simple, fast, sustainable

Have the courage to care for your wood!

Tips for lasting beauty and value retention

Real wood furniture is more than just a piece of furniture. They are handcrafted works of art that bring warmth, character and a connection to nature into our living spaces. Proper care is essential so that you can enjoy your real wood furniture for generations to come.

Here we show you quickly and easily how to maintain your wooden surfaces.

Wood care!

When, what and how?

Basic cleaning

How often?

On demand or every day.

What to do?

Carefully remove coarse dirt such as crumbs with a soft kitchen towel. Do not press the crumbs into the wood. Remove sticky dirt with a slightly damp cloth. Wipe the wooden surface with a particularly soft cloth such as our dust removal rag wipe.

Why?

If soiling is not removed immediately, it may penetrate deep into the wood and settle there. Liquids in particular quickly damage the wood in the long term.

Why the dust removal rag?

The particularly soft and open structure of the cloth helps to pick up a lot of dust with just one drying wipe. The soft fibres prevent scratching of the wood.

Oils, waxes or lacquers

When it comes to wood care, you have to decide early on whether you want to oil, wax or varnish your wooden surfaces. Each option offers different advantages and disadvantages.

Oil

Deeply effective protection
water-repellent
Prevents cracking
emphasises the grain
Quick and easy application
at studio moreandless 100% natural and edible
Re-oiling possible and desired
Requires up to 24 hours drying time

wax

Surface protection
Lotus effect on the wood surface
Prevents cracking
Does not change the character of the wood
quick apply
at studio moreandless 100% natural and edible
Renewed waxing possible and desired
Requires up to 24 hours drying time
No deep care
Is often applied too thickly

Lacquer

Best possible protection against moisture and dirt
Available in matt and glossy
Specialised for many applications
Often dries faster than oil and wax
Hardly changes the colour of the wood
Contains petroleum
Often toxic in the liquid state
Wood can no longer be recycled after application
Repainting is usually not possible
Order more complex and demanding

Our recommendation

Care of wooden surfaces in the house and garden furniture:

Oil

The character of the wood should not be changed and the moisture load is low:

wax

Garden sheds, terraces and wood subject to extreme stress:

Lacquer

Wax and oil?

Is both also possible?

YES!

premium wood elixir

Our premium wood elixir is a hard wax oil. This means that the oil has a wax content. This is as high as possible, as the wax creates a characteristic protective layer on the wood surface that forms a lotus effect. Applying an even layer of wax can be very challenging.

Premium wood elixir can be applied like an oil with a cloth or our application-pads apply. This automatically forms a wafer-thin and even layer of wax on the wood surface, while the oil nourishes the wood deeply and emphasises the grain.

How to use

premium wood elixir?

1. sanding

Gently sand the wood surface with our sanding-pad Always make sure to sand with the grain.

2. wipe off

Now carefully remove the newly formed sanding dust with the dust removal rag. Make sure to wipe the wood surface as dust-free as possible.

3. application

Now apply a small amount of premium wood elixir with moderate pressure and in circular movements to the wood surface or our application-pad Only apply a little oil at a time and rub it in completely before using new oil. You only need a single coat of premium wood elixir. The wood surface does not need to be polished.

4. curing

Leave the freshly oiled wooden surface to dry for at least 12 hours. After 12 hours, you can carefully check whether the wood surface is still damp. As a rule, the oil has hardened after 24 hours at the latest. If the wood surface is still damp after 24 hours, you have probably applied too much oil. In this case, you can wipe off the remaining oil with an old but clean kitchen towel. Now the drying press takes another 24 hours.

and the wax?

The use of premium wood wax is identical to that of premium wood elixir. However, as the wax is much firmer than the oil, we do not recommend using the application pad, as fibres from the pad can come loose in the wax, which can then be worked into the wood surface.

For this reason, we recommend our application-rag for the premium wood wax.

What do the

Ingredients?

Conventional wood care products follow one strategy when developing their products: cheap fillers mixed with chemicals that cause the actual effect.

Our approach is simpler: we only use raw materials that have a natural effect on the wood.

Linseed oil

Linseed oil is a classic oil for wood preservation. It naturally forms linoxin in the wood. Linoxin is an extremely hard oxidising substance that hardens the wood naturally. As a result, there are fewer scratches and defects in the wood. In addition, linseed oil emphasises the grain of the wood particularly beautifully and vividly. Unfortunately, this results in a clearly noticeable yellowish discolouration of the wood. In addition, the odour of linseed oil is described by many people with respiratory diseases as being strenuous and heavy.

Walnut oil

Like linseed oil, walnut oil also forms linoxin in the wood, albeit to a lesser extent. However, the much clearer walnut oil has another major advantage. Walnut oil counteracts the yellowish tinge of linseed oil and makes the wood appear more colourful. The odour is also pleasantly nutty.

Carnauba wax

Carnauba wax is a vegan alternative to beeswax. It comes from the leaves of a palm tree and is therefore a renewable raw material, just like our other raw materials. The wax is significantly harder and has a much higher melting point than beeswax, thus protecting the wood from dirt, moisture and heat. The wax is deposited in a thin layer on the surface of the wood and fills the small irregularities in the wood, resulting in a very smooth surface that cannot be achieved by sanding alone.

Eucalyptus oil

The eucalyptus oil does nothing for the wood. But it does all the more for you as the user. We have worked closely with asthmatics to test various odours. The combination of our oils with a specific amount of eucalyptus oil has achieved the best results. Asthmatics can use our products completely without irritation, even indoors. Even if you are not asthmatic, you will still enjoy the pleasant odour of the oil.
