Common questions

Answers to Help You Care with Confidence

Everything you need to know to keep your WRYDECO pieces beautiful for generations.

Can I place hot items directly on the wood surface?

We recommend using a trivet or heat pad. Extreme heat can damage the finish or cause cracks over time.

How often should I oil my furniture?

For oil-finished pieces, reapply a thin coat of natural oil every 6 to 12 months, or whenever the surface begins to look dry.

Why does my wood change color over time?

Natural wood develops a warm patina as it responds to light and air. This gentle shift in tone is a normal, cherished part of solid wood aging.

What should I avoid using to clean my furniture?

Avoid abrasive pads, silicone sprays, and harsh chemical cleaners. Use a soft cloth with water or a mild, natural cleaner instead.
