Care instruction

So that you can continue to enjoy your rocking chair, we give you a few simple care instructions for each product.

Beware of humidity and heat

Warm or damp items should never be placed directly on a varnished or painted surface. The surfaces are not resistant to hot mugs or prolonged moisture, for example.

Clean with a damp towel

A soiled lacquer surface is easy to clean with a cleaning towel moistened with water. If the surface is very dirty, you can apply a mild, colourless cleaner (does not contain ammonia or abrasive). After cleaning, the surface should always be thoroughly dried.

Quickly remove corrosive substances

Strongly staining or corrosive substances should be removed from the surface immediately: milk, alcohol and cleaning agent.

No rapid heat changes

Furniture should not be exposed to too rapid heat fluctuations. Furniture purchased for the winter period is not recommended to be placed, for example, in the immediate vicinity of a radiator. The product must warm up at normal room temperature.
