You might think that handmade concrete furniture will be difficult to care for. Don't be fooled! Our microconcrete (microcement) products are designed to last you for years without unnecessary work. Lightweight microconcrete has a fundamental advantage over classic concrete: practicality and easy maintenance .
1. Day to day: Basic care is a breeze
The secret to our durable surface lies in the quality finish. A protective layer is applied to the board to protect it from common accidents.
-
Regular cleaning: A soft cloth - dry or slightly damp - is enough to wipe away dust and crumbs.
-
Choice of cleaning products: Always use non-aggressive and pH neutral cleaning products. Avoid sand, rough sponges or abrasive chemicals that could damage the final protection.
-
Speed pays off: Have you spilled coffee, wine or oil? Even if the surface is protected, wipe up the liquid as soon as possible . This minimizes the risk of dye or acidic substances penetrating deeper layers.
2. Prevention: Protect concrete from extremes
The longevity of your table is largely in your hands. Just follow some simple precautions.
-
Hot cookware: Never place hot objects (pots, pans) directly on the hob. Always use coasters or trivets . Extreme heat can damage the protective coating.
-
Sharp objects: Microconcrete is strong, but it is not a cutting board. Avoid cutting and slicing directly on the table to prevent deep scratches.
-
Lighting Care: For our concrete fixtures or pendant lights, a dry cloth is sufficient to remove dust. Keep moisture away from electrical parts.
3. Wood Care: A Partner for Concrete
Most of our tables and stools are a combination of concrete and wood (often solid oak ). This interplay of materials gives the interior a modern but cozy feel. Even the wooden element needs a little attention.
-
Regular oiling: We recommend treating the wood with a quality furniture oil once or twice a year. This will ensure its longevity , natural moisture, and restore its beautiful appearance.
-
Stable environment: Wood reacts to changes in humidity and temperature. Keep it away from direct, intense sunlight and direct radiant heat from heaters.
