NATURAL IN KITCHEN & BATHROOM

OLI-NATURA Worktop-Oil for solid wood furniture in the kitchen & bathroom. 

Cosiness and solid wood - they go well together. Many architects and end consumers agree and are increasingly asking for a natural impregnating oil for kitchen and bathroom furniture. Our  OLI-NATURA Worktop-Oil is a high-solid oil that is well suited for this purpose. It is solvent-free, has a high tung oil content and is naturally highly water-repellent, hard-wearing and moisture-regulating.

The oil-treated natural wood surface can safely come into contact with food and is LFGB-certified with official certification (food-safe). At the same time, Worktop-Oil highlights the wood's natural grain and deepens its characteristic color. This gives the surface a particularly authentic appearance and showcases the wood even more.

Another advantage is that the natural oil surface can be refreshed regularly with little effort. Even stains and fine scratches can easily be sanded out and re-oiled without having to completely re-impregnate the entire surface. After the repair, these areas are then simply re-oiled with  OLI-NATURA Worktop-Oil.

Here are some tips for solid wood furniture in the kitchen & bathroom: 

• Not every type of wood suitable for kitchen worktops and living-area furniture is also suitable for the bathroom. It is important that the type of wood reacts only minimally to moisture. Particularly suitable options are oak, smoked oak, teak and all thermo-treated woods.
  
  
• The oil-treated surface can continue to breathe and remains open to diffusion. It can absorb and release moisture while also being water-repellent.
  
  
• Impregnated wood has open pores and is never completely sealed. You should therefore avoid leaving moisture standing for long periods and wipe up liquids such as water, wine, coffee or fruit juices as quickly as possible. Hot cooking pots and similar items should also not be placed on a wooden tabletop without a trivet.
  
  
• The impregnation should be refreshed regularly through re-oiling. How often you need to re-oil depends on the amount of use the furniture receives. Good indicators are when water resistance and color depth decrease or the surface feels dry and brittle. It should then be maintained.
  
  
• Surface scratches do not expose unprotected wood, as the protection comes from within. "Cosmetic repairs" can be carried out easily: Carefully sand the affected area and re-oil it with  OLI-NATURA Worktop-Oil. Any difference in color will even out over time.
  
  
• Dirt on wooden furniture can be removed effectively with a little lukewarm water and a clean cloth. For removing more stubborn dirt, you are welcome to use our mild  OLI-NATURA wood soap .
