Regular Cleaning

For day-to-day maintenance, simply dust your wooden slats using a microfiber cloth or a soft brush attachment on a vacuum. This helps prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt, preserving the finish. A slightly damp cloth with mild soapy water can be used to wipe down the surface, but avoid soaking the wood, as excess moisture can affect its integrity.

Deep Cleaning

For a more thorough clean, it’s essential to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. Since our slats are finished with Rubio Monocoat, the best practice is to use the instructions provided by the finish manufacturer. Using harsh household chemicals on your Rubio Monocoat finish can break down the molecular bond of the finish and, in some cases, strip it entirely from your surface. The best way to clean is simply a mist of soapy water followed by wiping with a dry cloth. Avoid any abrasive cleaning tools that might scratch the surface or wear down the protective finish.

Handling Stains and Marks

In the event of a spill, it’s best to wipe it up immediately with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and gently rub the affected area. Avoid aggressive scrubbing or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish. Since we stand behind our slat walls, we have an extended warranty in place free of charge. So even if some damage is done to the slats, we will fix it for free.

Preventative Care

To keep your wooden slats looking their best, avoid placing them in areas with excessive moisture or direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Use blinds or curtains to prevent UV exposure that may cause fading over time. Additionally, placing furniture protectors on items near or against the slats can prevent accidental dents and scratches.

Conclusion

With the right care, your natural wooden slats will maintain their beauty and durability for years to come. Treat them as you would any premium wooden furniture, and they’ll continue to enhance your space while remaining a long-lasting investment.
