Ash is a type of wood similar to oak and originates from Europe. SpecialS buy ash from a factory in Germany. This wood is sawn into planks in the Netherlands and sent to the factory in Indonesia. Here, it is dried and processed into our products. Ash is a type of wood used for solid furniture and as a veneer on a piece of furniture itself. Chic furniture is often made of ash because it has a straight look. Ash is light-colored, smooth-grained and with its typical straight grain, it is an attractive option for fine furniture.

Want to keep ash clean and in good condition? Then warm a dishcloth on a heater or in front of a stove. Brush over the table with this cloth, this way you will get the color back on the table nicely and it will be kept clean. You can also go over the furniture with a wet cloth and then polish it off with a warm, dry cloth. The following should anyone be aware of:
- Use a soft, clean cloth, possibly slightly damp to wipe your furniture. Never use an aggressive cleaning agent as this can damage the wood
- Watch out for sunlight as it can discolor wood
- Use a cloth and when your furniture has become damp, absorb it immediately, otherwise, the risk of stains arises
- Do not place hot pans on a wooden surface or write directly on the table as this may cause stains or bleed
- Light damage can often be repaired by using special oil. This oil makes the damage less visible. For more information on this or our products, please contact us.
