GENERAL INFORMATION
Wood is found in a variety of species. Fritz Hansen uses mainly oak, maple, beech, cherry and ash, each with their own natural characteristics in terms of colour, grain and hardness. The wood we use is sourced sustainably in the highest quality, without defects including knots, sap or cracks.

Veneer is a thin layer of hardwood bonded to a surface concealed underneath and finished with a layer of clear lacquer. A natural material, the colour and grain may vary from one furniture piece to another, although we take care to craft with veneer that is similar in appearance. N.B. Veneer surfaces patinate within the first weeks of use.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
Never use abrasive cleaners including steel wool and polish. Instead, use a mild detergent and follow the packaging instructions. Do not clean furniture with damaged surface lacquer as the water will penetrate and cause warping.

CLEANING & STAIN REMOVAL
Remove stains and spills as quickly as possible, rinsing with clean water and drying with a soft cloth to avoid water marks.

• Ink/wax crayon: Spot removal with benzine cleaning solvent* followed by a universal cleaner.
• Chewing gum: Benzine cleaning solvent*.
• Beverages: Universal cleaner.
• Cosmetics/shoe polish: Universal cleaner.
• Oil: Benzine cleaning solvent* or universal cleaner.
• Glue: Spot removal with benzine cleaning solvent* followed by a universal cleaner.
• Candlewax: Benzine cleaning solvent*.
• Printing ink: Spot removal with benzine cleaning solvent* followed by a universal cleaner.
• Soot/nicotine: Universal cleaner.
• Finger marks: Universal cleaner or methylated spirits/glass cleaner.

*Benzine is highly flammable. Use with caution, away from naked flames and in a well-ventilated room. Always wash off with clean water. To avoid stripes/blotches you should then wipe the surface with a clean, dry cloth until it is completely dry.

CAUTION
Avoid placing objects on the surface for longer periods of time as this will result in staining and/or discoloration. Never place hot items directly on wood surfaces. Although finished with a layer of clear lacquer for durability, repeated exposure to sunlight will cause wood to fade over time. Clothing rivets can leave pressure marks on wood.
