ETHNICRAFT CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Wood and stone are a product of nature.
We believe that their imperfections
contribute to the charm of our creations
ETHNICRAFT CARE INSTRUCTIONS
About natural materials
The beauty of natural materials lies in its
peculiarities and imperfections. That is what
separates true beauty from the artificial.
Variations in wood grain and color, knots,
medullary rays and other natural
characteristics are inherent in solid wood.
These are far from flaws, but an intricate part
of its character. Natural stone can have minor
pitting or surface fissures. We believe that
these imperfections contribute to the charm of
Ethnicraft products.
Wood, like any other natural and porous
material, continues to absorb and release
humidity throughout its life.
Although Ethnicraft designs furniture that
adapts well to the hydrometrical conditions of
its environment, some cracking or movement
may occur.
Please do not be alarmed, this is a normal
response to the furniture’s environment.
Tips & Tricks
• All Ethnicraft products are intended for
indoor use only.
• Recommended humidity in the room:
between 40% and 60%.
• Ideal room temperature: 21°C during the
day, not below 14°C at night.
• To prevent color differences: Do not place
your furniture in direct sunlight, move
objects placed on the furniture from time to
time and open your extendable table on a
regular basis.
• Avoid exposure to extreme conditions: do
not place furniture near heating sources or
air-conditioned spaces.
• To prevent staining we recommend that
any spills be removed immediately.
• When cleaning the surface, always work in
the direction of the wood grain.
• Use place mats to prevent hot pots and
pans, or cold glasses and bottles, from
leaving marks on the furniture.
• Do not drag the furniture along the floor,
always lift the furniture when moving.
• Always ensure water and solutions used
to clean the floor do not come into contact
with the furniture’s base, as it might leave
permanent marks.
• Last but not least, we recommend to
carefully read the care instructions.
Oak furniture
OILED
Most of the Ethnicraft oak furniture is finished with
a pigmented hardwax oil. This finish gives the fur-
niture its desired natural color and forms a natural
protective coating that acts as a repellent against
most common substances and liquids, but is no
foolproof guarantee against stains. In case of a spill,
remove it immediately.
REGULAR CARE
• For regular dusting, use a dry cloth.
For cleaning or in case of a spill, use a damp
cloth and natural soap. Wipe in the direction of
the grain. Do not use soap containing detergent
or other chemicals. Dry with a soft clean cloth
to prevent spotting.
REFRESHING THE SURFACE
• To refresh your furniture or to remove
superficial stains (crayons or pencil marks,
wine or fruit juice stains, etc.) we recommend
Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner (3029).
This product cleans and regenerates the
elegant character of the wood and slightly
reinforces the original protective coating.
Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner is no guarantee
against stains.
THOROUGH CARE
• As time goes by, the original hardwax coating
may need to be renewed. We recommend using
Osmo Hardwax Oil Natural (3041). In case of
discoloration, stubborn stains or to remove a
superficial scratch, we advise to sand the
surface first. Make sure the surface is clean
and dry before applying the Hardwax Oil.
It is important to spread the product evenly
over the surface and remove excess product
immediately after application to avoid spots
after drying.
VARNISHED
Our black oak furniture, and a selection of our
natural oak items, are varnished instead of oiled.
You will find varnished items clearly indicated in this
catalog. Varnish offers a good protection against
stains. Even with this preventative and extensive
treatment, spills should be removed immediately.
REGULAR CARE
• For regular dusting, use a dry cloth.
For cleaning or in case of a spill, use a damp
cloth and natural soap. Wipe in the direction of
the grain. Do not use soap containing detergent
or other chemicals. Dry with a soft clean cloth
to prevent spotting.
ETHNICRAFT CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Teak furniture
NATURAL
Our teak range comes without any finish or protec-
tive treatment. The wood is merely polished, allow-
ing the natural oils to rise to the surface. The high
density of teak wood has the advantage that stains
stay on the surface and do not penetrate the wood
easily. Even with these characteristics, spills should
be removed immediately.
PREVENTIVE TREATMENT
• If you want to protect the wood from the start,
apply a protective coating. We recommend
Occulto Oil (9911). This seals the pores of the
timber and creates a natural protection. Stains
and marks should still be removed immediately.
REGULAR CARE
• For regular dusting, use a dry cloth.
For cleaning or in case of a spill, use a damp
cloth and natural soap. Wipe in the direction of
the grain. Do not use soap containing detergent
or other chemicals. Dry with a soft clean cloth
to prevent spotting.
THOROUGH CARE
• To remove stubborn stains or superficial
scratches, extra fine sand paper can be used.
Make sure you always rub in the direction of the
wood grain.
VARNISHED
Part of the teak furniture items are varnished.
Varnish offers a good protection against stains. Even
with this preventive and extensive treatment, spills
should be removed immediately.
REGULAR CARE
• For regular dusting, use a dry cloth.
For cleaning or in case of a spill, use a damp
cloth and natural soap. Wipe in the direction of
the grain. Do not use soap containing detergent
or other chemicals. Dry with a soft clean cloth
to prevent spotting.
VARNISHED AND WAXED
The carved parts of our Ancestors Tabwa collection
are varnished but to achieve its signature shine
a wax is applied. Even with this preventive and
extensive treatment, spills should be removed
immediately.
REGULAR CARE
• For regular dusting, use a dry cloth.
For cleaning or in case of a spill, use a damp
cloth and natural soap. Wipe in the direction of
the grain. Do not use soap containing detergent
or other chemicals. Dry with a soft clean cloth
to prevent spotting.
REFRESHING THE SURFACE
• Dust the surface first. Apply dark brown liquid
beeswax using a soft cloth or a furniture brush.
Allow the beeswax to dry. Buff with a clean
soft cloth and/or furniture brush. Repeat until
desired level of shine is reached.
Walnut furniture
OILED
All Ethnicraft walnut furniture is finished with a
tinted natural oil. This finish gives the furniture its
desired natural color and forms a natural protec-
tive coating that acts as a repellent against most
common substances and liquids, but is no foolproof
guarantee against stains. In case of a spill, remove it
immediately.
REGULAR CARE
• For regular dusting, use a dry cloth.
For cleaning or in case of a spill, use a damp
cloth and natural soap. Wipe in the direction of
the grain. Do not use soap containing detergent
or other chemicals. Dry with a soft clean cloth
to prevent spotting.
REFRESHING THE SURFACE
• To refresh your furniture or to remove
superficial stains (crayons or pencil marks,
wine or fruit juice stains, etc.) we recommend
Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner (3029). This prod-
uct cleans, regenerates the elegant character
of the wood and slightly reinforces the original
protective coating. Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner is
no guarantee against stains.
THOROUGH CARE
• As time goes by, the original hardwax coating
may need to be renewed. We recommend using
Osmo Hardwax Oil for Walnut (5063). In case
of discoloration, stubborn stains or to remove
a superficial scratch, we advise to sand the
surface first. Make sure the surface is clean and
dry before applying the Hardwax Oil.
It is important to spread the product evenly
over the surface and remove excess product
immediately after application to avoid spots
after drying.
Upholstered furniture
LEATHER
The upholstery of the leather sofas is not allowed
to be washed or dry-cleaned. To keep it in optimal
condition we recommend vacuuming regularly with
an upholstery attachment (soft). Frequently wipe
the leather sofa down with a clean, dry cloth and
avoid placing the sofa in direct sunlight.
• Treat spills immediately.
• Blot up as much of the spill as possible with a
clean, dry, white cloth. Don’t rub.
• In case of a stain, use a clean, slightly damp
white cloth, blotting from the outer edge to the
center of the stain.
• Avoid using any chemical products not
designed for leather.
• Use a towel to evenly dry the leather and
prevent it from moisturizing too much.
Do not use a hairdryer for this purpose as it is
likely to dehydrate the leather.
• Apply leather conditioner when the leather feels
dry.
FABRICS
The upholstery of the fabricsofas is not allowed to
be washed. Furthermore, taking off the cushion
covers and washing these in the machine (even at
low temperature) will not only lighten the color, but
will also shrink the fabric.
To keep it in optimal condition we recommend
vacuuming regularly with and upholstery
attachment and avoid placing the sofa in direct
sunlight.
• Treat spills immediately.
• Blot up as much of the spill as possible with a
clean, dry, white cloth. Don’t rub.
• In case of a stain, use a clean, slightly damp
white cloth, blotting from the outer edge to the
center of the stain.
• Avoid using any chemical products not
designed for polyester. Use a hairdryer on the
lowest heat setting to evenly dry the fabric and
prevent moisture rings.
• Pilling is a result of excess fiber coming off the
fabric. This is not a defect but a characteristic
of many upholstered fabrics. To remove it, we
recommend using an antipilling machine.
ETHNICRAFT CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Metal structures
• Dust regularly using a soft dry cloth.
• For a more thorough cleaning, use mild soap
and warm water.
• Rinse with clean water and wipe dry.
• Do not use steel wool, sandpaper, mineral acid,
bleach, or chlorine cleaners on metal surfaces.
• Do not drag the furniture along the floor, as it
might damage the protective coating, cause
rusting or leave permanent marks on the floor.
• Always lift the furniture when moving them
from place to place.
User Instructions
The NOTRE MONDE trays are intended for
decorative and everyday use. They are not to
be used in a setting such as, but not limited to,
restaurants where they are exposed to
constant washing, repetitive handling and
service of heavy items. All NOTRE MONDE
products are intended for indoor use only.
Uniqueness of Our Product
The NOTRE MONDE brand incorporates
classic and traditional techniques,
such as metal-leafing, hand- painting,
silk screen-printing and aging. Due to the
handcrafted nature of our products, each item
will vary slightly. We consider this a sign of
uniqueness and quality.
NOTRE MONDE CARE INSTRUCTIONS
WOOD
The NOTRE MONDE trays are varnished with a
water- based top coat to repel common substances
and fluids, such as coffee, tea and wine. However,
the protective coat is no foolproof guarantee against
stains. We recommend removing spills immediately
to prevent staining. Always use coasters to prevent
hot surfaces from leaving marks on your tray.
Daily care for pieces with wood
• Dust regularly using a soft dry cloth.
• For a more thorough cleaning, use furniture
polish with a soft cloth.
GLASS & MIRROR
Wipe the glass or mirror surface with a neutral glass
cleaner and soft cloth.
METAL
Dust regularly using a soft dry cloth. For a more
thorough cleaning, use mild soap and warm water.
Rinse with clean water and wipe dry. Do NOT use
steel wool, sandpaper, mineral acid, bleach, or chlo-
rine cleaners on metal surfaces.
NOTRE MONDE CARE INSTRUCTIONS
FURNITURE WITH METAL BASE
Do not drag tables along the floor, as it might
dam- age the protective coating, cause rusting or
leave permanent marks on the floor. Always lift the
furniture when moving them from place to place.
Always ensure water and solutions do not come
into contact with the furniture’s metal base and a
wooden floor, as it might leave permanent marks on
the floor. Some wood species, such as oak, contain
tannin, which causes the wood to react with metal
and leave permanent stains.
UPHOLSTERY
The upholstery of the velvet sofas is not allowed
to be washed or dry-cleaned. To keep it in optimal
condition we recommend vacuuming regularly with
an upholstery attachment and avoid placing the
sofa in direct sunlight.
Tips and tricks for spot cleaning
• Treat stains immediately.
• Blot up as much of the spill as possible with a
clean, dry, white cloth. Don’t rub.
• Blot the stain with a clean, slightly damp white
cloth, working from the outer edge to the center
of the stain. Use a hair dryer on the lowest heat
setting to evenly dry the fabric and prevent
moisture rings.
