Preserve your Dreams in Wood treasures
At Dreams in Wood, we handcraft unique wood products for your home and kitchen. To ensure your cherished items remain beautiful and last for generations, proper care is essential. Follow these guidelines to maintain the natural elegance and durability of your wooden pieces.
Essential care for lasting beauty
To keep your Dreams in Wood products looking their best and lasting a long time, consistent care is key. Wood should be polished at least every six months to maintain its top condition and natural lustre. In drier climates, consider polishing more frequently to prevent drying. Remember, wood should never be fully saturated with water and should always be kept out of direct sunlight, which can cause fading and cracking.
What to avoid for optimal preservation
To prevent damage and ensure the longevity of your handcrafted wooden items, there are a few important things you should definitely not do. Never soak a wood product in water, as this can lead to warping, cracking, and discolouration. Additionally, keep your wooden items away from extreme temperatures, such as direct heat sources or very cold environments. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as the UV rays can dry out the wood and cause irreversible damage.
Frequently asked care questions
We often receive questions about the best ways to care for our wooden items. It's important to remember that all Dreams in Wood products are built for indoor usage only. For ongoing maintenance, we recommend applying beeswax or wood butter at least every six months. This nourishment helps protect the wood, enhances its natural grain, and keeps it supple and beautiful.
