Avoid placing hot items, chemicals, or liquids directly on untreated wood surfaces. While our Rubio Monocoat finish provides strong protection, prolonged exposure to moisture or heat can cause damage. For daily cleaning, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. If needed, use a mild soap solution — never abrasive cleaners, aerosol sprays, or chemical-based products, as these can penetrate the grain and cause permanent staining. Our furniture is designed and finished for indoor use only. If you're considering placing a piece in a semi-outdoor area such as a covered patio or balcony, please check with us first — direct sunlight and weather exposure can cause warping and discolouration over time.
