Great Dane Furniture Care Instructions

Each piece is designed to stand the tests of time and in order to get longevity out of your chosen pieces we have put together a selection of care instructions to help guide you when caring at home and in the office.

Oiled wood

Oiled wood will develop a natural patina and character over time which will only enhance the beauty of the material. To maintain the look and feel of oiled wood, annual re-oiling is recommended. Oiling should be done when the wood starts to appear dry or faded.

Daily cleaning

Wipe table with a clean dry cloth
If spots cannot be removed with a dry cloth, use a clean cloth soaked in clean water and wrung well
Firmly wipe the surface in the direction of the grain
Do not leave liquid to sit on timber surfaces

Soaped wood

Soap treated wood ages well over time developing a patina almost immediately upon use.

Daily cleaning

Wipe table with a clean dry cloth
If spots cannot be removed with a dry cloth, use a clean cloth soaked in clean water and wrung well
Firmly wipe the surface in the direction of the grain
Do not leave liquid to sit on timber surfaces
Dirt and spots of oils can be removed with a light solution of soap water

Leather

Alongside perhaps only timber, no material gives us as much joy here at Great Dane as leather. The patina, the texture, the smell – all of these contribute to the rich character developed by a good quality leather, which, over time, allows a piece of furniture to develop into something as unique as its owner. With this in mind, Great Dane is pleased to now offer a selection of its furniture in Tärnsjö Garveri leathers.

Daily cleaning

For normal cleaning and removing dust, wipe with a soft dry cloth. In case of accidental spots of liquid, immediately wipe the entire surface with a cloth that has been dipped in cold water and well wrung.

Fabric upholstery

For all Great Dane fabric upholstered furniture and cushions, please contact a specialist fabric cleaner for professional cleaning or dry cleaning.

Daily cleaning

Treat spills and stains as soon as possible
Do not scrub as this can alter the fabrics appearance
To avoid discolouration and maintain longevity, we recommend keeping your furniture out of direct sunlight
