GENERAL INFORMATION

Fritz Hansen uses a variety of wood species, mainly oak, maple, beech, cherry, teak and ash, each with their own natural characteristics in terms of colour, grain and hardness. Our wood is sourced responsibly in the highest quality, without defects including knots, sap or cracks.

Soap treated wood has a soft touch and light finish, ideal for lighter wood types. The soap seeps into the wood and closes up the pores, making the surface well protected from dirt and liquids.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Clean regularly with a cloth wrung in lukewarm water and dry thoroughly with a soft dry cloth to avoid streaks.

Soap treated products should be retreated regularly to maintain the appearance and the protective layer of soap. For future treatment, use a suitable soap treatment and follow the enclosed instructions. Be aware of contact between soap and other materials to avoid spots and marks. If you wish to change the treatment of your product, the previous treatment must be removed by sanding down the surface completely before applying a new treatment. Always use the recommended personal protective equipment.

CLEANING & STAIN REMOVAL

Remove spills quickly to minimize risk of stains.

CAUTION

Never use abrasive cleaners including steel wool and polish.

Avoid placing objects on the surface for longer periods of time as this will result in staining and/or discoloration. Never place hot items directly on wood surfaces. Although finished with a layer of clear lacquer for durability, repeated exposure to sunlight will cause wood to fade over time. Clothing rivets can leave pressure marks on wood.
