MAINTENANCE OF WOOD PARTS

For ordinary maintenance purposes, use a soft and dry cloth to remove dust. For greasy-oily dirt (fingerprints), we suggest treating surfaces with alcohol diluted in water, and immediately drying them with a soft cloth. It is best to avoid products containing acetone, chlorine and solvents, abrasive products, furniture wax and cloths with rigid fibres (linen and synthetic fabrics), which could ruin and/or scratch the surfaces. All these operations must be carried out with the utmost attention and without applying excessive pressure. Exposure to direct sunlight can alter the paint or wood colour. For gloss finishes, continued maintenance in time may cause scratching and a reduction in the shiny effect.
