wooden furniture.

The selection of materials, the quality of the designs and the modular design are all arguments in favor of the superior quality of Cyria furniture. But even though our wood species are highly resistant and well-proven, you'll still need to consent to a minimum of maintenance, especially if you want your furniture to retain its initial aesthetic qualities for as long as possible.

The ABCs of maintaining your
wooden furniture.

From cleaning and sanding to the application of protective oil, we'll give you all the advice you need to keep your wooden furniture looking its best.

Materials & Finishes

From cleaning and sanding to the application of protective oil, we'll give you all the advice you need to keep your wooden furniture looking its best.

Caring for your woodwork

We've said it before, but we can't stress it enough: wood is a living material! This means it evolves with time and the conditions imposed by its environment. Gradually, wood takes on a natural graying effect and risks cracking and warping as it shrinks and swells.

We recommend regular maintenance for all your wooden furniture: once or twice a year, depending on your environment. With a minimum of maintenance, you can keep your furniture in perfect condition for many years to come!

What equipment should I use?
- CYRIA Natixt© Cleaner
- Nylon wood brush
- 80-grit sandpaper
- Electric sander

Cleaning your wooden furniture:
- When carrying out maintenance work, protect steel parts from contact with cleaning products.
- To degrease your wooden element, spray with Natixt© Cleaner and scrub with a suitable brush if necessary.
- As far as possible, try to respect the natural direction of the ribs.
- Rinse thoroughly to remove excess product.
- Avoid using high-pressure cleaners, as they can damage the surface of your furniture.

Sanding a wooden surface:
- If, after cleaning, you notice any roughness on the surface, simply remove it by sanding lightly with 80-grit sandpaper.
- If the surface roughness is greater, you can use an electric sander. In this case, always sand horizontally and in the direction of the wood.
- Always prefer a dry day for this type of operation.

How to avoid premature wear?
- Note that the most significant deformations and changes in appearance generally occur in the first year. To avoid or limit cracking, be sure to tighten your furniture's fastenings regularly.
- You can also reduce graying by treating your wood surfaces with our Natixt© natural oil.

Oiling your wooden furniture

You've opted for a finish with our natural Natixt© treatment and your furniture needs touching up. You can simply re-treat your wooden furniture with Natixt© oil to protect it from dirt and prevent premature aging.

We recommend applying a new protective coat once or twice a year, depending on your weather conditions.

What equipment should I use?
- Natixt© Cleaner
- Natixt© protective oil
- Nylon wood brush
- 80-grit sandpaper
- Electric sander
- Flat brush.

How to proceed :
- If necessary, clean your furniture to remove any traces of dirt or residue. To do this, use CYRIA Natixt© Cleaner
- Lightly sand the surface if you feel any roughness (80-grit sandpaper will suffice).
- Apply a coat of Natixt© protective oil with a flat brush. One coat is all you need!
- Leave on for 10-15 minutes, then wipe the surface with a soft cloth to remove excess product.
- Leave to dry for 24 to 48 hours before using your furniture again. Caution! Always use the product undiluted. Stir well before application. Always treat in dry weather.
