concrete care // tips

concrete may look like a familiar material, but there are still a few care tips I have to mention.

  • our pieces are not dishwasher safe
  • if something spills on them or they get dusty, just wipe them with a damp cloth
  • for stubborn dirt or grease stains, use washing-up liquid or a cream cleaner with the soft side of a sponge
  • for white pieces, wet wipes containing alcohol also work well

all our pieces are sealed against water and dirt, so they are easy to clean if something happens. here's a video on what the sealer does:

still, concrete is a porous material and the sealer wears off with use over time, so you can give it extra protection yourself by rubbing in some linseed oil.

how to remove wax from trays and candle holders?

trays are often used for candles. once the candle has burned down and the wax has cooled, remove what's left with a blunt object, then warm the remaining marks with hot air (a hair dryer works) while soaking up the melting wax with a paper towel.

I made a short video about it, have a look:
