MAINTAINING YOUR FURNITURE WITH OIL:
First clean the entire chair with a clean cloth wrung out in hot water. Leave the chair to dry. Before applying the oil sand the surface of the chair by hand with a sanding sponge or fine sandpaper (180 or 240). Then apply the oil with a clean cloth or sponge. Do not pour the oil directly on the wood! Always apply the oil in the direction of the wood grain and in an even, thin layer. It is important that you treat all surfaces of the furniture. Allow the oil soak into the wood for about two hours and then remove any excess oil with a clean, dry cloth. If there are cracks in the wood they can be removed by careful sanding. To do this, use a sanding sponge or fine sandpaper. It is important that you follow the lines of the wood fibres, i.e. sand parallel to grain. After each sanding wipe the chair with a clean, dry cloth to remove dust residue. Subsequently treat the furniture with oil as described above. CAUTION! Please note that towels and sponges soaked in oil can spontaneously ignite. Therefore you must ensure they are stored in an airtight metal or glass container and are so disposed.
