Cleaning lacquered surfaces
A lacquered surface should always be cleaned with a damp, lint-free cloth (e.g. microfibre cloth). For light soiling, it is usually sufficient to clean the surface with water only. After cleaning, immediately wipe the surface dry with a dry cloth to prevent any water marks from remaining. Please ensure that the cleaning process is not too wet and that no standing water remains on the surface.
Care of lacquered surfaces
MRP furniture care and cleaning products are recommended for the care and refreshing of lacquered surfaces. It removes dust, dirt and fingerprints, closes micro-scratches and forms a protective film on all types of lacquered furniture surfaces, e.g. doors, cupboards, tables, etc. MRP is also suitable for plastics and metals in the living area. And all that without leaving a trace!
Also for high-gloss surfaces
Thanks to the use of state-of-the-art micro waxes, MRP furniture cleaning and care products can also be used on high-gloss lacquered surfaces. To maintain the brilliance for years to come, the surfaces should be cleaned and cared for regularly with a damp, soft, lint-free cloth (e.g. microfibre cloth). For high-gloss surfaces, care must be taken to use a seamless cloth, as this provides better protection for the sensitive surface against scratches.
Important information:
Please note the following information to ensure that the desired appearance and durability of the painted surface of your object are maintained for a long time:
- Never use harsh, strongly alkaline or solvent-based cleaning agents or scouring powders. Such cleaners attack the paint surface and even dissolve it.
- Avoid standing moisture caused, for example, by wet glasses, leaky flower pots or vases.
- Do not use microfibre cloths with seams to clean your item. These act like very fine sandpaper and cause lasting damage to the surface.
- We recommend seamless microfibre cloths or chamois leathers.
- If possible, do not use coasters with rubberised or latex-coated undersides. These coatings may contain substances that leave stains after a period of time.
- If your item shows signs of heavy wear and tear after some time, e.g. due to irregular care or heavy use, it is advisable to have the surface completely renewed by your specialist company.
Natural wood surfaces with an oiled finish should be cleaned and maintained regularly to preserve them and ensure you can enjoy them for many years to come. Regular care will ensure that the surface has a long service life. In general, all dirt and spilled liquids (e.g. drinks) should be removed immediately to avoid prolonged exposure. Regular care with wood care oil preserves the beauty and protection of the surface in the long term.
Before you begin cleaning, you should remove any dirt:
Loose dirt and dust:
Wipe furniture with a dry, soft cloth, sweep floors with a soft broom or vacuum using a brush nozzle.
Water-soluble contaminants:
Wipe with a well-wrung cloth until it is „slightly damp“. A small amount of mild detergent can be added to the windscreen washer fluid. Never use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents! Then wipe dry. Do not allow prolonged exposure to moisture!
Water-insoluble contaminants:
(such as shoe marks, handle marks, water stains, but also firmly embedded dirt):
For heavier soiling that cannot be removed by wiping or vacuuming, rub the surface vigorously with an abrasive pad (e.g. Scotch-Brite). This removes dirt from the surface and prepares it for treatment with wood care oil.
Attention!
Hang up used cloths to dry. Otherwise, there is a risk of spontaneous combustion! Be sure to follow the instructions on the container. Store wood care oil in a cool, dry place, tightly sealed and away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children!
Care:
Clean the surface with a cloth or sponge, then rub in a small amount of oil (approx. 5 g/m²) over the entire surface and polish. Do not leave any damp spots on the surface. Maintenance must be carried out regularly. In commercial areas with heavy use, at least every 2-3 weeks.
Tip:
When room temperature and humidity fluctuate, wood, being a natural product, expands and contracts. A balanced indoor climate that is not too dry (not below 40% relative humidity) is recommended for both people and natural wood surfaces. Houseplants and humidifiers, e.g. on radiators, help to increase humidity during the heating season.
