Maintenance instructions
Here you can find all the information you need to ensure the lasting quality of your wooden outdoor furniture. The best way to maintain its nice looks and to extend the life of your product is to follow all the care instructions.
Clean
The best way to extend the life of your wooden outdoor furniture is by cleaning it regularly. Clean with a mild soapy solution. Wipe dry with a clean and dry cloth.
Maintenance
To prevent the surface from drying out and cracking and moisture from penetrating into the wood we recommend you to oil the furniture on a regular basis, for example once or twice a year.
Storing
If possible, store in a cool dry place indoors. If the furniture is stored outside, cover it with a waterproof cover. After a rain or snowfall, wipe off excess water or snow from flat surfaces. Allow air to circulate to avoid condensation.
Oil
Use only natural olis to maintenance the wooden surfaces. For example linseed oil. We do not reccomend you to use pigmented finish, but if you decide to do that, use only Osmo olis which are specially made for larch.
Do not paint
Do not use any chemical treatments or impregnation. Do not paint. Siberian Larch has high tar and resin content which does not let the paint to absorbe.
Do not use in sauna
Siberian larch has high tar and resin content which makes it unsuitable to use in sauna.
