Important: Be careful when sanding with sandpaper as the aluminium hooks can easily become scratched!
Lacquered Wood
Lacquered wood requires careful care. To keep it in optimal condition, you need to:
Cleaning: Wipe regularly with a very hard-wrung cloth to remove dust and dirt.
Refreshing: If the lacquer starts to lose its lustre, you should consider refreshing, but this requires professional assistance and sanding down the surface.
Black Stained Wood
Black stained wood has a lacquered surface and requires similar care as lacquered wood.
Soap treated wood
For wood with a soap treatment, follow these steps:
Cleaning: Carefully sand the grain of the wood with fine sandpaper, preferably 180 or 220 grit. Then wipe with a cloth dampened with a solution of water and floor soap. Use only a very small amount of soap solution.
Oiled Wood
Oiled wood also requires care:
Cleaning: Carefully sand the grain of the wood with fine sandpaper, preferably 180 or 220 grit. Then wipe with a cloth dampened with oil. Use only a very small amount of oil.
Untreated Wood
Untreated wood is susceptible to dirt and in severe cases it may be necessary to perform the following steps:
Cleaning: Gently sand the grain of the wood with sandpaper, preferably 150 or 180 grit.
For all types of wood, it's important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations (LoCa, Denmark) and use the correct care products to maintain the beauty and functionality of the wood. Regular maintenance will ensure your KNAX coat racks stay beautiful and in good condition for a long time.
