Original manufacturer guidanceWorkshop Chair: specific finishes
Wipe and dry
Wipe with a moist cloth and remove excess liquid with a dry cloth. This guidance concerns the Workshop Chair with PU or water-based lacquer identified in the source.
Original manufacturer guidanceFinish-specific disinfection
Muuto permits alcohol disinfectant on these two Workshop Chair finishes. This is a product-specific exception, not guidance for every wood surface.
Original manufacturer guidancePatina and colour
Wood can develop patina and slight fading. Uneven cleaning can make this more visible while the lacquer remains intact. Patina is less apparent on lighter colours.
