With proper care and cleaning, the timber or laminate surfaces on your Chairbiz products should remain looking great for years to come.

Timber

1. Regular dusting with a soft cloth or a light feather duster will avoid a build-up of grime, which will dull the surface finish.
2. Occasionally gently buff the surface in the direction of the wood grain with a soft lint-free cloth. A light application of a non-silicone polish such as Mirotone Spray Glow is recommended from time to time.
3. All spillages should be removed immediately. Water or any moisture should never be allowed to remain on a timber veneer surface as it may cause the veneer to lift.
4. Do not place tables in a position of exposure to direct sunlight, near radiators, air conditioning vents, humidifiers or a fireplace.
5. Under no circumstance should an abrasive cleaner be used.
6. To protect the natural timber finish use coasters under cold, hot or damp objects.
7. Avoid direct alcohol or beverage contact with the surface. Glasses or bottles left directly on the table may cause permanent damage to the timber surface.
8. Placemats or anything left permanently on the surface will leave a darker shadow, as both natural and artificial lighting can tend to lighten exposed timber surfaces over a period of time.
9. To prevent scratching to the timber surface avoid placing objetcs with hard or sharp edges/corners.

Laminate/Melamine

1. For general cleaning wash the laminate with a soft, lint-free cloth in a mixture of warm water and diluted mild detergent. For heavier removal of food oils or finger marks use a mixture of warm water and diluted mild detergent with a soft bristle brush using a light circular motion. Rinse thoroughly and dry by gently buffing with a soft lint-free cloth in a light, circular motion.
2. When cleaning surfaces with water care should be taken to not allow the water to pool on a laminate or timber edge as this may degrade the bond and cause swelling.
3. Under no circumstances should steel wool, hot water, solvent or an abrasive cleaner be used. Use of polishes or sealers is not recommended, as these will over a period of time cause a buildup of residue.
