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.
