PROPER USAGE AND MAINTENANCE

Proper usage and maintenance is vital for getting the most out of the valuable resources we have. Our designs are made to last for generations, but just like everything else, they need a little care to get there.

STAINLESS STEEL

Why

Stainless steel is a light and long-lasting material with superb strength and is easy to maintain.

Cleaning
Use soapy water and wipe with a dry cloth.

Maintenance
Minor scratches and oxide stains can be removed with a non-abrasive scouring pad. Care products such as Gleerustol can also be used. If used on kitchen utilities, always remember to wash it thoroughly after.

Caution
When using special care products you should avoid all contact with wood in order not to damage the surface. Do not use any kind of products containing chlorine as this will damage the surface and make it vulnerable to corrosion.

OAK

Origin

Oak grows in most temperate zones. The Skagerak oak comes from European forests and is either 100% FSC certified or FSC mix certified, supporting sustainable forest management. The selection of the wood is extremely careful and all processing is by hand, so that only the best and most durable pieces of wood are used in production.

Why
Oak is a sturdy and hardwearing type of wood containing natural tannins that will protect against bacterial growth. Combined with its light, elegant colour and well-defined grains, this makes oak wood safe choice for high-quality interior.

Cleaning
The wood comes with no finish. If you choose not to treat it with soap or oil, use a suitable cleaning agent for wood.

Maintenance
As the wood is untreated it may be affected by grease and colorants. For this reason, we recommend saturating the wood with soap or a suitable furniture oil to make it more resistant. If you wish to use soap or oil, use a suitable product. Be aware that the wood will change colour when applying soap or oil.

Note: When using Skagerak's drying racks, do not dry wet laundry directly on the wood as this might discolor the fabric.

Soap treated products are to be retreated on a regular basis to maintain its appearance and the protective layer of soap. For future treatment, use a suitable soap treatment and follow the enclosed instructions. Be aware of contact between soap and other materials to avoid spots and marks. If you wish to change the treatment of your product, the previous treatment must be removed by sanding down the surface completely before applying a new. Always use the recommended personal protective equipment.

OIL TREATED OAK

Cleaning and Maintenance
Your new product comes with an oil treatment. For daily cleaning, use a damp cloth firmly wrung and be sure always to wipe the entire surface evenly. We do not recommend the use of cleaning agents for daily cleaning. Spills are to be removed immediately to minimize risk of stains.
Oil treated products are to be retreated 1-2 times per year to keep the protective layer on the surface and maintain the aesthetic qualities from the oil. For future treatment, use a suitable oil treatment and follow the enclosed instructions carefully. Oil treatments can be purchased on Skagerak.dk.
