Oak
Oak is a heavy, hard and solid type of wood that
grows throughout the temperate zone. The wood has
many properties that make it well suited for home
furnishing items. It has excellent form stability, is
highly durable and has a uniform texture and
appearance. In addition, oak has a very high tannin
content, making it difficult for bacteria to survive in
the wood.
Maintenance
Your new Skagerak product comes untreated,
meaning that the wood's colour and texture will be
affected by grease and colorants that may leave a
stain on the wood. For this reason, we recommend
saturating the wood with soap to make it more resi-
stant. Use Natural soap, which is available in two
varieties: Natural and White. Use Natural soap Natur
to give the wood a warm glow, or, if you wish to
lighten the colour, use Natural White. Follow the
soap-saturation instructions on each product.
The first treatment will cause the wood fibres to swell.
Smooth them down by lightly sanding the surface
with abrasive paper, grit 280. Do not use steel wool,
as this may discolour the surface.
Cleaning
For regular cleaning, use Natural soap Natur or
White, both of which clean the wood and add a
protective layer of soap. Use wood cleaner if more
thorough cleaning is preferred. After thorough clea-
ning, the wood is unprotected and should be re-
saturated with soap, i.e. Natural soap.
Disposal
Dispose of the product at a waste receiving station.
