Caring for your Melb Design Co Products

We recommend you regularly clean your pieces, to help maintain its beauty. To dust, we recommend using a microfibre cloth for wood furniture, as this will not damage the surface.

Product Care – Timber Veneer

• Dust with a soft, dry untreated cloth.

• For a deeper clean, wipe the surface of your timber with a clean, damp cloth in the direction of the natural grain, then dry with a soft clean cloth to prevent spotting. Do not use a wet/soaking cloth as this will result in streaking.
• If you choose to polish your veneer with a product/solvent, you should always try it out first on a small, inconspicuous area to trial how your veneer will react.
• The surface of your furniture should not come in contact with hot and/or moist/wet containers/materials. We always recommend using coasters, place mats, tablecloths, and table runners to protect furniture surfaces from heat and stains. Take extra care to protect your surfaces from candles and heated objects.
• If possible, keep furniture away from any area with a high concentrate of sun to ensure the veneer does not fade or split. Do not apply undue pressure by writing on a veneer table as this can leave impression marks.
• Please note that liquids that contain alcohol, such as nail polish, etc., cannot be removed

• Moisture and heat can damage any wood finish. Protect your furniture by using coasters and trivets. Always wipe up moisture promptly and dry with a soft cloth.
• Avoid dragging sharp or rough objects across the surface of your wood furniture.
• Maintain consistent humidity levels to minimise seasonal expansion and contraction of wood and prevent warping. Over time, air and sunlight may change the colour of natural wood. Occasionally rotate the items placed on your wood furniture to allow a more uniform colour to develop.

Product Care – Two Pack and Painted Furniture

• Do not clean painted timber with alcohol, ammonia-based and/or harsh chemicals as this may cloud the surface and/or remove the paint finish.
• Clean your painted surface with a dust cloth or feather duster to remove dust and debris.
• Should you use a damp cloth for cleaning, ensure that the cloth is not soaked and the surface is dried with a clean dry cloth immediately after wiping.
• Do not hit the painted finish with a vacuum cleaner or other heavy items as this will chip the finish.
• Avoid using paper towel on acrylic surfaces.

Product Care – Natural Timber

• Moisture and heat can damage any wood finish. If you have selected an unsealed product, we do recommend applying a chopping board oil if you choose to seal and protect your unsealed timber, please note this will change the colour of your product and bring out the natural features of the timber.
• Wipe with a soft dry cloth, do not soak or get wet

Product Care – Waxed Timber

• Moisture and heat can damage any wood finish. If you have selected a waxed solid timber product to help maintain and keep your board nourished we recommend wiping with a damp cloth and applying chopping board oil if the timber becomes dry/dull.
• Do not soak your solid timber, wipe with damp cloth. Treat regularly with oil to sustain the life of your solid timber - following your selected manufacturers product maintenance process.
