Official guide to caring for and maintaining hohm furniture
hohm furniture is crafted from carefully selected natural woods that are kiln-dried to ensure quality and stability. Like any living material, wood evolves over time with use and environmental exposure. With proper care, a hohm piece can accompany you for many years while maintaining its character, quality, and beauty.
The nature of wood
Every piece of wood is unique. Variations in grain, tone, texture, and small natural openings are inherent characteristics of the material and are part of its identity. Exposure to sunlight, humidity, rain, marine air, and temperature changes directly affects the behavior of wood and the wear of its finishes. These changes are natural and are not considered manufacturing defects.
Recommended use and placement
- Indoor or protected outdoor areas: minimal wear, occasional maintenance.
- Partially exposed outdoor areas: periodic maintenance recommended.
- Permanent direct sun exposure: accelerated wear in color and surface protection is expected.
- Maintaining the original color and protective finish requires regular maintenance.
Basic cleaning
Recommended:
- Soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth.
- Mild, neutral soap for occasional dirt.
- Always dry the surface after cleaning.
Avoid:
- Abrasive products or solvents.
- Industrial or multi-purpose cleaners.
- Metal pads or rough sponges.
- Pressure washers or high-pressure water.
Repairs and touch-ups
While minor touch-ups may sometimes be attempted at home, wood requires technical knowledge, especially for sealed pieces or specialized finishes. If you are unsure about the procedure, we recommend not intervening. Incorrect sanding or the use of improper products may cause irreversible damage.
hohm is not responsible for damage caused by cleaning, repairs, or restorations performed by third parties.
