Untreated Oak
For daily cleaning, use a clean soft brush or a microfiber cloth to gently wipe away dust or small pieces of debris trapped insight the grooves. For a more thorough cleaning, use a damp cloth dipped in a mix of natural dish soap and lukewarm water. If a dirty area is difficult to clean, you can use a soft-bristled brush to scrub with.
If the surface rises slightly or swells after cleaning, sand the surface in the direction of the grain to achieve the best result. After sanding, clean the surface with a damp cloth and dry it off with a kitchen towel. It may take 1-2 repetitions before all grains are cut down.
Because untreated oak may react to grease, colorants, changes in air humidity, and water, we recommend saturating the wood with wood soap or furniture oil to make it more resistant. Please be aware that the wood will change color when applying soap or oil.
Remember to retighten the table’s mounting bolts from time to time.

Oil and soap treated products are to be retreated on a regular basis to retain the protective layer on the surface and maintain the aesthetic qualities from the oil.
