Maintenance

Maintaining lacquered wooden tables

A lacquered wooden table requires little maintenance. The lacquer forms a protective layer on the wood and offers better resistance to moisture than an oiled finish. However, scratches in the lacquer are more difficult to repair yourself.

For daily cleaning, a clean, well-wrung cloth dampened with lukewarm water is sufficient. If necessary, use a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh cleaning products, abrasives and rough sponges.

For additional cleaning and care, our collection includes products such as WOCA Intensive Wood Cleaner and WOCA Master Care. Always check whether a maintenance product is suitable for your table's finish.

Maintaining oiled wooden tables

With an oiled table, the oil penetrates the wood, preserving its natural appearance. An oiled tabletop requires slightly more maintenance than a lacquered one, but minor damage is easier to repair yourself.

For daily cleaning, use a clean, well-wrung cloth dampened with lukewarm water. Wipe up spills immediately and avoid leaving moisture on the tabletop for extended periods. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning products.

We recommend re-oiling your table once or twice a year. For this, you can use a Sav & Økse maintenance kit containing a sanding pad and oil. By lightly sanding and re-oiling the tabletop, you can keep the surface smooth and protected.

Our collection also includes various WOCA maintenance products, such as natural soap, intensive wood cleaner and maintenance oil. Maintenance products are also available for tables with a whitewash finish.

Maintaining Fenix tables

A Fenix tabletop is easy to clean and requires little maintenance. For daily cleaning, a cloth with warm water and, if necessary, a mild cleaning product is sufficient.

Minor surface scratches can be repaired using a dry or slightly damp melamine sponge, also known as a magic sponge. The Sav & Økse maintenance guide provides detailed instructions for cleaning and repairing Fenix surfaces.
