With lacquered surfaces, the wood’s pores remain permanently closed. This has the drawback that the wood can no longer breathe as usual and thus loses its natural qualities. However, the advantage is that it is better protected against dirt, making the furniture much easier to care for than oiled or waxed surfaces.
Care:
As mentioned initially, caring for a lacquered surface doesn’t require much effort. A slightly damp cloth is enough to remove dirt, dust, and other impurities from the furniture. For high-gloss lacquered furniture, make sure to use a fine cotton cloth (avoid microfiber or dusting cloths) to prevent scratches or streaks.
While not absolutely necessary, if you want to maintain the shine of your lacquered furniture, we recommend using a solvent-free furniture polish two to three times a year (we suggest Renuwell Regenerator and Quick Care which is available in our webshop). Avoid using high-gloss solvents or alcohol-based polishes/cleaners, as they can damage the wood’s surface, leaving a rough and matte appearance.
Scratches / Stains / Dents:
What if the furniture has scratches or dents? Such imperfections are difficult to repair on lacquered surfaces and should therefore be handled by professionals. Here, prevention is key: always use soft coasters to protect the surface from hard-edged objects or dirt.
