Let this act for approx. 2 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Then wipe the furniture with a clean, damp cloth to remove excess soap and dirt from the top layer of the wood. The water will evaporate very quickly and a new layer of soap will remain in the wood.[\/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion style=&#8221;total&#8221; c_icon=&#8221;&#8221; active_section=&#8221;0&#8243; collapsible_all=&#8221;true&#8221;][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;read more &gt;&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1663146214126-01085906-24f19a33-3535&#8243; el_class=&#8221;maintenance-read_more&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">WHICH SOAP + WATER RATIO SHOULD I HOLD?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The soap mixture consists of: 1 part soap and 10 to 40 parts water. The ratio depends on the intensity of use of the furniture and the color nuance you want to achieve.<\/p>\n<p>For intensive use, we recommend a ratio of 1:10 to 1:30.<br \/>\nWith less intensive use, 1:30 to 1:40 will suffice.<\/p>\n<p>Before using a soap mixture of white pigmented soap, shake or stir the mixture well so that the white pigment mixes well with the soap.<\/p>\n<p>It can happen, especially with oak, that the wood fibers stand up a bit after the first soaps. The furniture then feels rough. In the maintenance box you will find a piece of sandpaper 400. Then feel free to sand the surface softly again, in the length of the wood grain.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">HOW OFTEN SHOULD I SOAP?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>You must repeat the soaping, depending on the use and how dirty it is:<\/p>\n<p>dining and coffee tables: 1 x every 1 to 3 weeks (also regularly take the legs with you to prevent color difference)<br \/>\nsideboards and cabinets: 1 x every 1 to 3 months<\/p>\n<p>Do you have any questions?

After each soap treatment, the surface is saturated by the coconut and soy fats, so that dirt and moisture have less chance of penetrating the wood.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, the soap also has a cleansing effect by removing the dirt in the top layer of the wood. When soaped furniture is delivered to you, it has already been soaped a number of times and then requires regular maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>The soap (white or natural) is made from vegetable raw materials without the use of coloring agents, fragrances, preservatives or other artificial additives.<\/p>\n<p>The soap is extremely concentrated and must be diluted with water before being applied to the wood. The higher the concentration of soap, the whiter \/ paler the wood becomes or remains. The more often you soap it, the whiter \/ paler the wood will become or remain and the more protection for the wood.<\/p>\n<p>Dirt and stains can be removed by applying the diluted soap to the rough side of a scouring pad and rubbing the area to be cleaned in the direction of the wood grain with pressure, depending on the intensity of the stain. Then wipe the area with a clean, damp cloth. If necessary, repeat several times. Then soap the furniture with a cloth according to normal instructions for use.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][vc_text_separator title=&#8221;order via pilatshop&#8221; el_class=&#8221;divider-rt&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][vc_row_inner remove_bottom_col_margin=&#8221;true&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_col-xs-6&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1339&#8243; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.pilatshop.nl\/product\/zeep\/&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10px&#8221;]<div class=\"theme-button-wrap textcenter wpex-clr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pilatshop.nl\/product\/zeep\/\" class=\"vcex-button theme-txt-link align-center inline pilat-title\"><span class=\"theme-button-inner\">soap natural<\/span><\/a><\/div> [vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10px&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_col-xs-6&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;264&#8243; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.pilatshop.nl\/product\/olie-wit\/&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10px&#8221;]<div class=\"theme-button-wrap textcenter wpex-clr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pilatshop.nl\/product\/zeep-wit\/\" class=\"vcex-button theme-txt-link align-center inline pilat-title\"><span class=\"theme-button-inner\">soap white<\/span><\/a><\/div> [vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10px&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_col-xs-6&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2095&#8243; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.pilatshop.nl\/product\/super-ontvlekker\/&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10px&#8221;]<div class=\"theme-button-wrap textcenter wpex-clr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pilatshop.nl\/product\/super-ontvlekker\/\" class=\"vcex-button theme-txt-link align-center inline pilat-title\"><span class=\"theme-button-inner\">super stain remover<\/span><\/a><\/div> [vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10px&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_col-xs-6&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2096&#8243; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.pilatshop.nl\/product\/vlekken-spray-voor-eiken\/&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10px&#8221;]<div class=\"theme-button-wrap textcenter wpex-clr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pilatshop.nl\/product\/vlekken-spray-voor-eiken\/\" class=\"vcex-button theme-txt-link align-center inline pilat-title\"><span class=\"theme-button-inner\">stain spray (oak)<\/span><\/a><\/div> [vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10px&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=&#8221;true&#8221;][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1201&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1666353604520{margin-top: 70px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1666353692874{margin-top: 5px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]NORMAL CLEANING For the normal maintenance of your furniture, you can prepare a soap mixture (explained under &#8216;read more&#8217;) and store it in a closable bottle or plant sprayer, so that it is always ready for use.
