Wood Care
Understanding the difference between natural and unnatural cracks in wood is essential. Natural cracks, such as small surface cracks and movement around knots, occur as the wood ages and adapts to its environment. At Urbis Concepts, we view these features as unique characteristics that enhance your piece's beauty.
Care Tips for Your Table
Preventing Natural Cracks
Following these simple steps will help keep your table looking beautiful for years to come!
Use a lint-free microfiber cloth to remove dust. Avoid dry dusting, which can scratch the surface.
Wipe with wood oil or a soft cloth dampened with mild soap (no alcohol or fragrances). Clean spills immediately with a highly absorbent cloth.
Use mineral-based oil every few months, especially in winter, to retain moisture and prevent cracking.
Keep your table away from heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent warping or splitting.
Maintain room humidity between 40-45%. Low humidity can cause cracking, while high humidity may lead to swelling.
