CARING FOR YOUR PRODUCT
Wipe any spills from the wood immediately.
Do not use bleach, heavy chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials on the surface.
Try to clean the entire surface rather than patches to avoid discolouring.
Do not leave the furniture in direct heat or sunlight, this will result in shrinking and colour changes. We always suggest you try to keep the furniture at a constant temperature as extreme changes will effect the material.
Always protect your furniture with coasters and placemats.
In the initial stages, waxed furniture may take several days / weeks to cure, try to avoid placing items on the surface until completely dry and soaked in, doing so may result in discolouration of goods.
It is always best to discuss with Nikkita any care techniques as it will differ depending on how the piece has been treated in the workshop. Stain removal and the reapplication of finishing treatments is available at an additional cost.
We always suggest you use furniture floor pads on the base of the furniture to avoid damage to flooring surfaces.

We are more than happy to supply images or physical samples to give an idea of surface quality, however, with each piece being unusual and different in terms or colouring and character, physical furniture pieces may vary from samples.
Reclaimed wood will become more beautiful and tactile with age and use if cared for correctly.
As a natural product, wood moves with humidity and heat, cracking is natural and not classed as a defect.

This is not classed as a manufacturing fault and Nikkita Palmer Designs holds no responsibility for natural changes to your product.
Colour changes may occur initially, again, this will depend on the environment, temperature, cleaning products used and absorption of any finishing products.
