FINISHING AND MAINTENANCE
Oiled finish
Oiled oak furniture is protected with a tinted oil, which enhances the wood's natural colour and feel while making it more resistant to stains. However, this finish does not provide complete protection against splashes.
It is therefore advisable to quickly wipe off any splashes of liquid to preserve the beauty of the wood.
We use premium Rubio Oil + 2C, a VOC-free vegetable oil with a hardener to ensure long-lasting protection.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
Clean surfaces with a damp cloth or sponge and mild soap or dishwashing liquid.
Rub in the direction of the wood. Avoid soaps containing detergents or chemicals. Dry with a soft cloth to avoid streaks.
Protect the furniture with coasters, placemats or mouse pads to avoid damaging the wood, especially with heavy use or excessive heat.
Remember to move objects regularly (pots, vases, etc.) and quickly wipe away moisture to avoid streaks.
OCCASIONAL MAINTENANCE
For more specific maintenance , we recommend Rubio® interior soap: an ecological product designed especially for surfaces treated with Rubio® Monocoat oils.
In case of wear on frequently used surfaces , you can revive their shine with Refresh Eco Rubio® care oil, which restores silkiness while reinforcing protection.
If a stain appears following contact with liquid or wet metal, use Rubio® Tannin Remover.
For traces of grease , Rubio® Degreasing Spray Cleaner will be effective.
Advantages/Disadvantages
+: natural, ecological appearance, develops a patina over time, can be easily retouched
- : moderate protection
Varnished finish
Varnished oak furniture has a matte, protective finish that provides enhanced protection against stains and moisture. The varnish forms a strong protective layer that prevents liquids from penetrating the wood, making the furniture easier to maintain on a daily basis.
However, it is advisable to quickly clean any spills or dirt to preserve the shiny appearance and avoid any alteration of the finish.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
To dust, use a dry cloth. In case of cleaning or splashing liquid, wipe with a slightly damp cloth with natural soap. Rub in the direction of the wood. Avoid soaps containing detergents or chemicals. Dry with a soft cloth to avoid streaks.
Protect the furniture with coasters, placemats or mouse pads to avoid damaging the wood, especially with heavy use or excessive heat.
Remember to move objects regularly (pots, vases, etc.) and quickly wipe away moisture to avoid streaks.
Advantages/Disadvantages
+: long-lasting protection, low maintenance
- : less natural appearance
