Lacquer

A Leolux lacquer achieves its full hardness two months after application. The "evaporation process" is then completed and you can no longer "smell" the table. This is comparable to acquiring a new car whose "newness" can be "smelled" for months. During the hardening period we recommend you treat your product with care. Avoid placing heavy objects on the table and clean it only with a damp cloth and diluted washing-up liquid.

Cleaning:

1. Clean normally using a damp cloth and grease removing agents. We particularly recommend the use of a concentrated washing-up liquid. In any case, do not use abrasive cleaners such as Cif.
2. Also, furniture cleaners that contain silicone can create patches which are difficult to polish away.
3. Stains caused by wine, coffee, alcohol, etc. should be removed with water and concentrated washing-up liquid.
4. Such things as felt-marker stains can be carefully removed using benzine. Do not rub too hard relative to the possibility of causing shiny spots. It is not always possible to completely remove feltmarker stains.
5. Plastic object (such as feet of a telephone) can also cause shiny spots on the finish.

Resistance to scratches

Leolux tables are scratch resistant. This means that they are resistant to scratches that could occur during normal use. They are not boundlessly scratch resistant. If, for example, you drag an unglazed flower pot across the surface, or if there is sand on the surface, this will cause scratching which will be more visible the darker the colour of the table. On smooth surfaces the repair will remain somewhat visible.
