After applying the oil-wax, the surface will only reach its full hardness after approximately 4 weeks. During this time, avoid contact with water, cleaning products, and liquids. Proper use of the furniture during this period should be undertaken with caution. After a month, the first maintenance treatments can begin.

To remove dust and minor stains, we recommend using a soft, slightly damp cotton cloth with a small amount of a product designed for oiled wood (e.g., Osmo 8026 Spray Cleaner or Osmo 3029 Wax Cleaner and Care). Avoid vigorous rubbing, as this may cause discoloration or lightening of the surface. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the wood grain. To maintain the furniture’s aesthetic appearance, clean only when absolutely necessary. This will ensure the furniture looks its best for a long time.

Oiled furniture should be re-impregnated regularly. If dull spots appear on the surface, the countertop loses its shine and smoothness, and liquids are absorbed instead of pooling, immediately apply a new coat of wax oil to the countertop. Failure to follow these recommendations may result in permanent stains from staining substances and streaks! Impregnation should be performed once a year or more frequently.

You can purchase wax oil from the manufacturer (Osmo) or from us (care kit). Instructions for applying clear wax oil (Osmo 3058):
1. Remove any dirt with a damp cloth or the aforementioned product.
2. Lightly sand the wood surface with P240 sandpaper. Sand the wood with the grain – sanding across the grain can cause scratches.
3. Wipe the countertop with a damp cloth to remove sanding dust.
4. Apply a thin layer of wax oil with a cotton cloth, ensuring the entire surface is completely covered.
5. After about half an hour, gently wipe off any excess oil-wax with the same cloth.
6. Allow to dry for 24 hours. Ensure good ventilation in the room.
7. Repeat steps 2-6 two or three times until you achieve a satisfactory result.
8. After the final coat of oil-wax has dried, polish the entire surface along the wood grain with P600 sandpaper.
If the countertop requires a re-application of color (all wood tones except natural), please contact sklep@szyszkadesign.pl to order a product in the appropriate color.
