Material & Maintenance
Material
Every piece is individually crafted and handmade, ensuring a unique and distinctive look. This technique is done by hand, creating a perfectly imperfect result with subtle color variations, natural irregularities, and slight unevenness. These characteristics are an essential part of both the product’s charm and the technique itself.
The final appearance of the furniture is also influenced by the level of polishing and the finishing coat. Our tables are crafted with a composition of lime, acrylic, and pigment. The colors are mixed manually using natural pigments, which means the final product may vary slightly from the selected sample. The samples serve only as a general color reference.
General maintenance
Our tables are designed for easy upkeep, with protective layers that help repel most dirt. However, certain substances from daily use, such as coffee, wine, fruit juices, spices, lemon juice, and oils, should not be left on the surface for extended periods. Similarly, avoid leaving large amounts of water or wet objects on the table for too long. If not cleaned immediately, fats, dyes (such as those in wine or coffee), and other substances can penetrate the protective layers and cause stains. Extra caution is needed with highly pigmented foods like turmeric, beetroot, and flower pollen (especially from lilies), as these can leave stubborn marks. Always clean spills promptly using water, a cleaning agent, and a soft sponge—never the abrasive side, as this may scratch the surface.
To preserve the table’s appearance and durability, do not place candles directly on the surface; always use a holder or tray. Additionally, avoid placing hot pots or pans directly on the table to prevent thermal shock. The table should never be used as a cutting surface, and sharp or heavy objects should be handled with care to prevent damage.
Cleaning and Care for Indoor Tables
Indoor tables require careful maintenance to prevent stains and damage. Always wipe up spills immediately using a damp cloth, mild soap, and a soft sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools that could compromise the protective finish. When placing or moving objects, be mindful of potential scratches, and always use coasters or placemats when necessary.
The legs of the table are equipped with felt pads to protect your flooring. Ensure the table is placed on a clean, dry, and grease-free surface. If unsure, consult your flooring specialist for advice. When cleaning your floors, avoid leaving water or soap residues under the legs, as this may cause unwanted marks.
Cleaning and Care for outdoor Tables
Our outdoor collection features a specialized finish designed to withstand outdoor conditions while maintaining its refined appearance. To ensure its longevity, regular maintenance is essential. Cleaning should be done using a soft sponge or cloth with mild soap and water, gently scrubbing the surface without using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, which could damage the protective layer.
When the table is not in use, it is advisable to cover it with a protective cover made for outdoor furniture. This helps shield it from direct sunlight, rain, dust, and other environmental factors, preserving its finish and extending its lifespan.
By following these care instructions, you can keep your Muundo outdoor table in excellent condition for years to come. If you have any questions or need further assistance, we’re always here to help.
