THE BASICS OF MAINTAINING YOUR WOODEN URBAN FURNITURE
Material selection, design quality, and modular conception are all strong arguments for the superior quality of Cyria's urban furniture.
Although our wood species are highly durable and extensively tested, a minimum level of maintenance is still required—especially if you want your urban furniture to maintain its original aesthetic for as long as possible.
Cleaning, sanding, applying protective oil—we’re sharing all our tips to help you care for your wooden urban furniture.

MAINTAINING THE WOODEN PARTS OF YOUR URBAN FURNITURE
Wood is a living material! This means it evolves over time, responding to environmental conditions. Over the years, wood naturally turns grey and may develop cracks due to expansion and contraction.
We recommend regular maintenance once or twice a year, depending on your local climate. With minimal care, your urban furniture can remain in excellent condition for many years.
Materials you’ll need:
CYRIA Natixt© Cleaner
Nylon wood brush
80-grit sandpaper
Electric sander

Cleaning your wooden urban furniture:
During maintenance, protect any metal parts to avoid contact with cleaning products.
To remove grey discoloration, spray Natixt© Cleaner and scrub with a suitable brush if needed.
Always follow the natural grain of the wood while cleaning.
Rinse thoroughly to remove excess cleaner.
Avoid using high-pressure washers as they can damage the wood’s surface.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sanding wooden surfaces:
After cleaning, if the surface feels rough, lightly sand it with 80-grit sandpaper.
For deeper imperfections, use an electric sander—always sanding horizontally and along the grain.
Perform sanding on dry days for best results.

How to prevent premature wear on wooden parts:
Most noticeable changes occur within the first year. To minimize cracks, regularly tighten all fittings.
Reduce greying by treating wooden surfaces with our natural Natixt© oil.

OILING YOUR WOODEN URBAN FURNITURE
If you’ve chosen our Natixt© natural treatment and your furniture needs a refresh, you can easily reapply the oil to protect the wood from dirt and premature aging.
We recommend reapplying a protective coat once or twice a year, depending on weather conditions.
Materials you’ll need:
Natixt© Cleaner
Natixt© Protective Oil
Nylon brush
80-grit sandpaper
Electric sander
Flat brush
Steps to follow:
Clean your urban furniture with Natixt© Cleaner to remove dirt and residues.
If the surface feels rough, lightly sand it with 80-grit sandpaper.
Apply one coat of Natixt© Protective Oil using a flat brush. One coat is enough.
Let it sit for 10–15 minutes, then wipe off any excess oil with a soft cloth.
Allow the furniture to dry for 24–48 hours before use.
⚠️ Always use the product pure (undiluted), mix it well before use, and apply it only in dry weather.
