General Care (Keep It Looking Fresh)

DUSTING: Regularly dust with a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent dirt buildup and surface scratches. The more often you do it, the better!
CLEANING: For a deeper clean, lightly dampen a cloth with a mild soap solution and wipe down the surface. Be sure to dry it immediately with a clean, dry cloth to prevent moisture damage or watermarks.
AVOID HARSH PRODUCTS: Skip abrasive cleaners or silicone-based products—they can damage the finish and leave a dull residue. Gentle care is always best!
POLISHING: Every six months, apply a non-silicone wax for a natural sheen. Follow the wood grain, let it sit, then buff out.
CERAMIC COATING: All Colpop pieces feature a ceramic coating designed to protect the layers beneath and ultimately the wood, making it more durable while retaining its natural beauty. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap solution, and dry immediately to maintain its protective layer. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Heat & Moisture Protection (Handle with Care)

HEAT: Wood is sensitive to temperature extremes. Always use a heat-resistant mat for hot dishes or cups to prevent heat rings or surface damage.
MOISTURE: While the ceramic coating provides extra protection, wood’s natural pores can still absorb liquids, leading to stains or warping. Wipe up spills promptly with a soft cloth to avoid moisture damage. In high-moisture areas like bathrooms, apply protective wax every six months to safeguard the finish.

Powder-Coated Cast Iron Care

DUSTING: Use a soft, dry cloth to quickly wipe away dust and keep your cast iron looking fresh.
CLEANING: Clean with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the coating.
POLISHING: No need to polish powder coating, but a quick buff with a soft cloth can enhance the shine.
AVOID ABRASIVES: Avoid using rough cloths or harsh cleaning products that can scratch the coating and expose the cast iron.
PROTECT FROM SCRATCHES: Be cautious of sharp objects or impacts that could chip the coating and reveal the cast iron underneath.

Preventative Tips (A Little Care Goes a Long Way)

ENVIRONMENT: Place your furniture away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight) to prevent warping or discoloration. Keep furniture out of direct sunlight to avoid uneven fading. A stable, comfortable environment is key.
MOVEMENT: Always lift furniture when moving it. Dragging can damage joints and cause instability.
PROTECTIVE COVERS: Use coasters and placemats regularly to shield surfaces from scratches and spills. For items like plant pots, vases, or jugs, place a protective layer underneath to prevent unseen damage from moisture.
