With a little care and attention, your Welds & Wood piece will continue to look beautiful and perform well for many years. Our finishes are designed to be durable, natural, and easy to maintain, so you can enjoy the character and warmth of real timber without worry. Your Welds & Wood product has been coated with Osmo Oil Poly X and is automatically water and dirt resistant. However, to get the best out of the timber, the surfaces of your product will need to be maintained on an on-going basis. The degree of maintenance depends upon the degree of usage.

• Dust with a soft cloth.

• Wipe spills promptly.

• For general cleaning, use mild soap + warm water:

• Mix a drop of plant-based dish soap in warm water.

• Dampen a cloth, wring out well, wipe, then dry immediately.

⚠️ Avoid harsh household chemicals or detergents — they strip the protective oil finish.

• Dull Surfaces: Apply a thin coat of Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner, then buff.

• Stains: Remove with a fine white Scotchbrite pad or steel wool, then reapply wax spray.

• Scratches / Worn Areas: Lightly sand, then apply a coat of Osmo PolyX Oil.

• DIY Alternative: For small refreshes, raw linseed oil or tung oil can be applied sparingly. Wipe away excess and allow 24 hours to cure.

The degree of maintenance depends on usage. With regular gentle cleaning and the occasional refresh, your timber will develop a natural, lasting patina.
