Wood Care & Finish
WOOD CARE
Being a natural material, wood possesses an inherent delicacy and sensitivity that requires careful handling and periodic maintenance.
Prolonged exposure to sunlight can alter the wood's vibrancy. The ultraviolet (UV) rays within sunlight pose a considerable risk, inducing fading, desiccation, and cracks.
Mill & Mooch creations are intended for ornamental use. Avoid prolonged contact with liquids, as wood absorbs moisture, leading to warping or cracking.
To clean your Mill & Mooch piece, use mild soap with a soft, damp cloth, and dry thoroughly. Do not use dishwashers as the heat and water can strip natural oils, causing dehydration and splits over time.
REVITALIZING WOOD
Over time, your cherished Mill & Mooch piece may lose some of its initial vibrancy as the porous wood interacts with air, light, and dust.
To preserve its luster, simply apply a thin layer of Mill & Mooch Wood Butter and polish gently with a dry microfiber cloth. This quick routine hydrates the wood, restoring its rich hues and sheen.
With regular care, your Mill & Mooch piece will stand the test of time, maintaining its natural beauty and timeless charm.
WOOD FINISH
At Mill & Mooch, we pour our heart and soul into every piece, ensuring excellence at every step. Our final touch involves the finest natural waxes, oils, and wood butters for a flawless finish, exceeding food safety standards.
We never use dyes or paints, embracing the wood’s natural shades—from deep browns to vibrant reddish oranges—showcasing its unique beauty beyond synthetic colors.
Before shipping, each piece receives a final polish with our in-house Wood Butter, a bespoke blend of 100% Organic Beeswax, Pure Mineral Oil, and Carnauba Wax, adding unparalleled quality.
Finally, we laser-engrave our iconic emblem on the underside, marking each piece with precision and craftsmanship.
