round. Pick one of those humid, cloudy days, as it
is better for the moisture level in the wood to dry out
slowly after cleaning. For a thorough cleaning, we
can recommend our Extremis Wood Cleaner. This
is a bio-degradable cleansing shampoo for wooden
furniture. The product removes grey discolouration,
green deposits and dirt. Should any cracks appear,
you can simply sand them down by hand using 80
grit sandpaper.
OILING
Once a year
You are free to protect your wood from UV, inclement
weather and stains. Needless to say we strongly
recommend to do this once a year. Extremis Wood
Protector is a 100% natural product based on linseed
oil. It is colourless, but the wood will be darker
after this treatment. 0. Remove all residues of old
applications.
MACHINE SANDING
Only every 2 to 4 years
After a few years, there will be little cracks and ma-
ybe some warping in your wood. This is completely
normal, because wood is a natural, living material.
Solid wood has the great benefit that you can sand
away the top layer to make the surface smooth and
flat again. You can do this every two to four years
with a hand-held sander. Do it on a dry day. Use 80-
grit sandpaper for this.
REPLACING A WOODEN PART
Hey! You don't need to be an engineer to understand
our products. And you don't even need to be great
at DIY to replace a part. Do make sure that you can't
repair the damage simply by sanding the slat.

Extremis Multi Cleaner.
REPARING DAMAGED PARTS WITH ZINC SPRAY
When damaged
Hot dip galvanisation is the most durable way of
protecting metal against rusting. If the zinc coating
is damaged, the exposed metal can rust. This can
easily be touched up with zinc paint that automati-
cally has the same colour and is readily available in
shops. Zinc spray forms a quick drying, self healing
and flexible coating that helps stop corrosion.

CLEANING

REMOVING STAINS
Only if nothing else helps
The magic eraser gets rid of most stubborn stains
without effort. Only if stubborn stains remain visible
after treatment according to the instructions, you
can use the Extremis Magic Eraser sponge. This
sponge is made of melamine resin and wears away
with use. The sponge is very easy to use and gives
results up to 26 times faster than a traditional mi-
crofibre cloth. The magic sponge is the solution for
getting rid of stubborn stains such as felt-tip pens,
grease, scuff marks, limescale marks or coffee and
tea stains. The magic sponge can be used on tar-
paulin fabric, plastic profiles, glass, steel, chrome,
aluminium, porcelain, artificial leather and many
types of floor.
REPAIRING DAMAGED POWDER-COATING
When damaged
The impact of sharp objects can damage the
coating. Scratches or dents can be touched up with
our paint pens. However this only camouflages the
scratches without removing them.
