Care Guide

Caring for Your UrbanWIRX Piece

Your UrbanWIRX kitchen island or furniture piece is crafted from solid wood with premium finishes — built to last a lifetime when properly maintained. Follow this guide to keep it looking its best for generations.

Daily Cleaning

  • Wipe surfaces with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth after use.
  • Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners — they can strip the finish.
  • For spills, blot immediately with a clean cloth. Do not let liquids sit on the surface.

Deep Cleaning

  • Use a mild soap diluted in warm water for periodic deep cleaning.
  • Always wipe in the direction of the wood grain.
  • Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth — never leave the surface wet.

Protecting the Surface

  • Use cutting boards when prepping food — never cut directly on the wood surface.
  • Place trivets or heat pads under hot pots, pans, and appliances.
  • Use coasters under glasses and mugs to prevent water rings.

Conditioning the Wood

  • Apply a food-safe wood conditioner or mineral oil every 3–6 months to keep the wood hydrated and prevent cracking.
  • For finished surfaces, use a furniture wax or polish suited for your specific finish type.

Environmental Considerations

  • Keep your piece away from direct sunlight, heating vents, and air conditioning units to prevent warping or fading.
  • Maintain indoor humidity between 35–55% for optimal wood stability.

Touch-Ups & Repairs

  • Minor scratches can often be buffed out with a wood touch-up marker or fine-grit sandpaper followed by re-oiling.
  • For significant damage, contact us at support@urbanwirx.com — we're happy to advise on restoration.

Treat it well, and your UrbanWIRX piece will be an heirloom worth passing down.
