Taking care of your TOLIX pieces, simply
TOLIX pieces are designed to stand the test of time and withstand everyday use. Simple maintenance, tailored to the materials, preserves their appearance, finish, and durability without any special requirements. This page guides you through the proper care steps, depending on the materials your furniture is made of.
Simple actions, designed to last
Maintaining TOLIX furniture is based on a few essential principles: prioritize gentle and regular cleaning, use simple and non-aggressive products, adapt your cleaning methods to each material, and allow the surfaces to age naturally. These recommendations help preserve the quality of the pieces while respecting their material.
Steel
Steel is at the heart of TOLIX's expertise. Each finish has specific properties that require appropriate maintenance.
Painted steel benefits from a protective and decorative treatment by hot-cured powder paint.
Recommended maintenance
- soft dry or damp cloth
- Water and neutral soap for stains
- Dry thoroughly after cleaning
Precautions
- Avoid sharp or abrasive objects (keys, rings, dishes, etc.)
- Avoid aggressive or abrasive products
In case of scratches or impacts, a quick touch-up can limit further damage to the surface. We recommend prioritizing repairs to less visible areas.
Drink
Wood is a natural and living material. Its appearance can change over time depending on the environment, light, and humidity. These variations are part of its character.
Solid wood is distinguished by its density, resistance, and the homogeneity of its grain.
Recommended maintenance
- Dust regularly with a soft cloth
- Clean with a slightly damp cloth if necessary
- dry immediately after cleaning
Precautions
- Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or heat
- Avoid harsh products (alcohol, solvents, ammonia, chlorine, abrasives)
- Remove stains quickly to prevent them from penetrating the wood
The color and appearance of wood can naturally change over time, particularly under the effect of light.
The open-pore stained finish protects the wood while allowing its natural grain to show through.
Recommended maintenance
- dry or slightly damp cloth
- rapid removal of liquids and fine dust
Precautions
-avoid excessive friction
- Use only neutral detergents suitable for wood.
The finish may be slightly absorbent: regular maintenance is recommended to preserve the surface appearance.
Other tips
Outdoor use and winter storage
TOLIX parts intended for outdoor use are designed to withstand common weather conditions.
Regular maintenance and a few simple precautions can, however, prolong their lifespan: cleaning before a period of non-use, drying after washing, storing in a dry and ventilated space when possible, using breathable covers.
Time is part of the object
Light scratches, variations in color, signs of wear: these changes bear witness to the object's history. They are part of its authenticity and do not affect its solidity or functionality.
TOLIX parts are designed to be used, maintained and, when necessary, repaired in order to extend their lifespan.
