Accident Occur
What to do when accidents occur…

If your table gets spotted or stained, you should always try to remove such discolouring with a damp cloth containing a very mild detergent first.

Soap treated surfaces are cared for ac- cording to the instructions.

Stubborn grease or oil spots can be removed with benzine followed by light sanding with fine sandpaper. The same process can be used on spots caused by wax dripping from candles.

Marks from ballpoint or felt-tipped pens can be removed with a soft cloth moistened in denatured spirits.

Dark stains from newspapers or shoe polish can be removed with India rubber or fine sandpaper.

Deep marks or scratches can be removed by sanding with sandpaper.

Burn marks must be sanded. Remember to sand an area larger than the mark or scratch so that you do not make a depression in the wood.

Red wine and fruit juice can discolour beech and oak so much that it may be necessary to bleach the wood. Do so with one part 36% hydrogen peroxide diluted in three parts water. Please use the utmost care when applying this solution directly to the spot.		 Oil Treated surfaces are cared for accor- ding to the instructions.

Very stubborn grease and oil spots can be removed with white spirit. 

Oil must be re-applied after such cleaning.
Marks from ballpoint or felt-tipped pens can be removed with a soft cloth moistened in denatured spirits.

Dark stains from newspapers or shoe polish can be removed with India rubber or fine sandpaper.

Burn marks must be sanded. Remember to sand an area larger than the mark or scratch so that you do not make a depression in the wood.

Lacquered surfaces can be dried off with a damp cloth.

Stains appearing on lacquered surfaces usually means that the lacquer is worn and thus, porous. You will have to sand the table and re-lacquer it. We recommend that you hire a professional to do this work. Contact your local furniture dealer.

Repairing Arizona Tables
Repairing wine, coffee or tea spills:
First try removing the stain with a cloth dampened in lukewarm soapy water (25g of soap flakes dissolved in 1 litre of water). If the stain is not new, then try removing it with undiluted household chlorine. Please make sure that this liquid does not touch the table frame. If this is not possible, you will have to remove and replace the old joining material.

Cracks in the joints
Because wood is a living material, it expands and contracts depending on the humidity in the air. Even though the joint is elastic, cracks can occur in the joints between the tiles and the table frame. To repair cracks in this joint, moisten the joint with a damp sponge, apply new joint material smooth it out with the sponge. You can buy the proper joining material for repairing your table from your dealer.
