ABOUT THE WOOD WE USE
Wood is a diverse natural material that, after felling, retains a distinctive character of structure, strength and sensitivity, meaning the natural appearance of the wood will always differ from tree to tree. Wood is characterized by knots, being the marking of the branches that are anchored in the tree trunk. Knots are not imperfections or flaws in the wood.
You can expect wood to be affected by light, ambient temperatures, humidity and daily wear and tear. Thus, the wood will change its expression and color over the years, echoing the traces of time while becoming uniquely yours.
Solid wood is a living material that is affected by daylight, ambient temperatures and humidity. Thus, products in solid wood must not be placed too close to heat sources such as wood stoves, radiators etc. as these can cause the wood to dry out. If the wood dries out, it can lead to cracking, curvature or twisting in the structure of the wood. Conversely, too high levels of humidity can result in the wood being degraded by fungi.
All Muuto products in solid wood are oiled, stained or lacquered.
Please be aware that daylight matures the appearance of the wood. Be aware that placing objects on top of products in solid wood can lead to unwanted color differences, which can be difficult to even out. Avoid placing metal on wood as it may react with the wood and thus get black marks.
HOW TO CARE FOR WOOD
Daily Cleaning – Oil and Lacquer
For daily cleaning, we recommend cleaning the surface with a clean, damp cloth and wipe the surface with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid using chemicals or detergents.
Wood surfaces are not resistant to moisture, heat or alcohol. Thus, the surface must be cleaned and wiped off immediately.
Special Cleaning - Oil and Lacquer
If the surface is very stained, wipe the entire surface with a cloth that has been wrung out hard in a mixture of water and dishwashing detergent. Wipe the surface dry with a clean, dry cloth.
Never use abrasive cleaners, steel wool or polish. Instead, use mild and gentle cleaning detergents.
Periodic Maintenance – Oil
For the maintenance of oil-treated solid wood, use oil, an abrasive sponge and a cloth. We recommend oiling your solid wood furniture 2-4 times a year.
NB! When working with abrasives such as a soft cleaning sponge and sandpaper, always work along the grains of the wood. Always sand over a large area to avoid a dent.
HOW TO CARE FOR PLASTIC
Regular cleaning
Accessories: Use a non-abrasive, all-purpose cleaner. Rinse with clean water and dry with a clean, soft cloth.
Furniture: Use a non-abrasive, all-purpose cleaner; glass and multi-surface cleaner; or a cleaner polish. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean, soft cloth.
Special instructions: Avoid using an abrasive cleanser that may scratch the plastic.
HOW TO CARE FOR GLASS
The glass elements of the Corky Series are dishwasher safe. Warning: The cork top is not dishwasher safe. Be aware that resting heavy items against the glasses and carafe in the dishwasher may cause the product to break. Please be aware that when cleaning the glass in the dishwasher, the temperature in the dishwasher should not surpass 60-65ºC, as this may cause glass plague which is difficult to remove. The guideline below for limescale may in some cases be applicable to removing glass plague.
Limescale and built-up film on the glass can be removed by applying a mixture of vinegar and water—one liter of warm water and two cups of white vinegar. Place the product(s) in the vinegar and water mix, letting it soak for 30 minutes. Rinse the glasses afterward and dry them with a clean cloth.
If any remaining deposits are still on the glasses, sprinkle baking soda onto the glassware and gently rub with a sponge. Rinse well and let the glassware airdry afterward.
Accessories in glass
Regular cleaning:
Clean the surface with a dry, lint-free cloth.
Thorough cleaning:
Apply glass cleaner on the surface and dry off with a lint-free cloth.
Lamps and lampshades in glass
Regular cleaning:
Clean the surface with a dry, lint-free cloth.
Thorough cleaning:
Clean with a moist, lint-free cloth. If necessary, apply a little ammonia hydroxide into a bowl with water. Remember to read and follow the instructions on the bottle.
ABOUT POWDER COATED ALUMINUM
Aluminum’s malleability makes it a grand fit for highly detailed, durable Muuto products, bringing a light, airy feel to our designs. Its powder coating makes for a tactile surface expression, adding a subtle character to our designs.
HOW TO CARE FOR PRODUCTS IN POWDER COATED ALUMINUM
Clean the surface on a regular basis with a lint-free cloth that has been wrung in lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Wipe the surface with a dry lint-free cloth.
Outdoor deep scratches:
If the surface has been damaged, it is important to close the surface with a repair lacquer to avoid corrosion.
ABOUT PLYWOOD
Plywood is a strong, thin wooden material that is made from pressing or gluing multiple layers of wood together.
HOW TO CARE FOR PRODUCTS IN PLYWOOD
Clean the table with a damp cloth. If necessary, use a mild detergent or washing up liquid and not concentrated. Always wipe with a dry cloth afterward. To minimize the risk of stains and marks, liquids, grease etc. should be removed straight away.
ABOUT SOLID OAK
Solid Oak is a traditional Scandinavian material with durable abilities against factors such as water and fungi alongside a high level of strength and a warm expression, giving it long-lasting properties that make it an ideal match for furniture production while echoing the ideas of Scandinavian craftsmanship.
HOW TO CARE FOR PRODUCTS IN SOLID OAK
Upon receiving your table, we recommend that tabletop and bottom is treated with special oak wood oil, improving its resistance to stains and fluids. We also recommend that you continue caring for the product by repeating this treatment 2-3 times a year. Clean tabletop often and carefully with a soft and dry cloth following the wood’s grain patterns. The product should not be exposed to excessive humidity, heat, or direct sunlight.
ABOUT NANOLAMINATE
Nanolaminate is a fully dense, ultra-fine grained solid that exhibits a high concentration of interface defects. Nanolaminate is an innovative material with unique features. These include low light reflexivity, an extremely matte surface, anti-fingerprint surface and anti-bacterial features while the nanolaminate surface is resistant to scratches, dry heat and acid solvents.
HOW TO CARE FOR PRODUCTS IN NANOLAMINATE
Regular cleaning:
Clean the surface with a clean lint-free cloth, wrung in lukewarm water. We do not recommend the use of a cleaning detergent, as it will leave a skin on the surface of the furniture.
To keep the surface clean and beautiful for many years to come, we recommend using a cleaning and care product specifically suited for laminate.
Scratches can, in most cases, be removed with a melamine sponge. Apply a little water to the sponge and gently rub it in circular movements onto the scratched area.
Thorough cleaning:
For a more thorough cleaning of the surface, we recommend using a cleaning and care product that is specifically suited for laminate:
ABOUT THE WOOL WE USE
Wool is a natural fiber, made from the hair of sheep. However, this as some exceptions such as llama and alpaca wool. Wool is a very flexible fiber as it doesn’t wrinkle easily; it’s warming; it’s dirt-repellent; it has the ability to rise and, in some cases, appear entirely new when treated correctly.
For Ply Rug & Varjo Rug:
The Ply and Varjo Rugs are made in 100% New Zealand wool, a natural material that is easy to clean and preserve. All rugs are woven by hand.
For Pebble Rug:
Pebble Rug is made from 60% wool and 40% jute fibers, both natural materials that are easy to clean and preserve.
For the Aiayu for Muuto Products:
The Aiayu for Muuto products—the Layer Cushion, Rhythm Throw, Twine Cushion and Ample Throw—are made in baby llama wool, describing the highest quality of llama wool with the word “baby” referring to the inherent softness of the llama wool.
The llamas from which the wool is sourced walk freely in flocks with their herders in the Bolivian highlands. The llamas are owned by multiple families who identify their llamas by the colored tassels on the llama’s ears. Once the hair of the llama has reached the desired length, the llamas are sheared to obtain the raw fiber for the baby llama wool—this happens about twice a year as it takes roughly six months for the hair of the llama to naturally regenerate to once more.
For the Sway Throw:
The Sway Throw is made in 100% fine merino wool.
HOW TO CARE FOR WOOL
For Ply Rug, Pebble Rug and Varjo Rug:
We recommend having your wool products dry-cleaned to avoid damaging the product. For regular cleaning at home, vacuum the wool rugs. Clean stains instantly with sparkling water. We also offer a rug pad that will reduce wear and tear, keep the rug from sliding and ensure that it lays smoothly on the floor.
For the Aiayu for Muuto products:
The Aiayu for Muuto products are made in baby llama wool—a self-cleaning fiber that requires less washing than other materials. Simply air your product at first. If the need to wash it arises, hand wash is recommended at 30 degrees using high-quality soap. Soak the product in water for 10 to 15 minutes before rinsing it in 30 degrees water. Avoid twisting or pressing the water out. Let the product dry flat.
For the Sway Throw:
Dry clean only.
ABOUT WOOD FIBER & PLASTIC COMPOSITE
Our Fiber Chair Series is designed in an innovative composite of wood and plastic fibers, a material that was uniquely developed for the Fiber Chair series. With the shell consisting of up to 25% wood fibers, the shell has a uniquely deep surface and soft, matte touch. Though invisible to the eye when viewed from afar, the natural details of the wood fibers are revealed when viewing the design up-close. Note that slight variations in the surface may occur due to the inherent characteristics of the material.
HOW TO CARE FOR PRODUCTS IN WOOD FIBER & PLASTIC COMPOSITE
For regular cleaning, use a clean, damp cloth. Remove stains using a mild mixture of water and detergent.
THE TEXTILES WE WORK WITH
The textiles used for Muuto products are supplied by four different companies:
Danish Kvadrat and Swedish Nevotex along with both Arve and Fidertessile from Italy.
The companies that we work with have been selected on the basis of their extensive knowledge within the field and state-of-the-art material qualities.
CLEANING GENERAL CLEANING GUIDE FOR UPHOLSTERY FABRICS
These guidelines are general guidelines for upholstery fabrics. Be aware of the material you are working with and always try your cleaning method on an “invisible” spot on your upholstered furniture first.
Stains
These tips are purely recommendations and cannot guarantee complete stain removal. To ensure satisfying results, particularly for large stains, we recommend contacting a professional dry cleaner. When contacting them, it is important to state whether the stain has already undergone treatment.
If you act quickly when bad luck strikes, it is not difficult to remove spills and prevent stains from forming. However, we cannot guarantee complete stain removal.
First, scrape off any hardened residues with a spoon. Any loose particles must be vacuumed up before further cleaning.
Liquids must be soaked up with an absorbent napkin or cloth.
Remove non-greasy stains by carefully dabbing with a lint-free cloth or sponge that has been wrung out in warm water. Edge marks can be avoided by dabbing gently in circular motions from the outer edge towards the center of the stain with a clean lint-free cloth. Do not rub.
Remove greasy stains by using appropriate detergents or solvents. In all cases, we recommend testing stain-removal agents on an “invisible” area first to see if there is any effect on the upholstery.
Due to the excess dye in jeans, dark jeans may leave stains on textiles; washing and cleaning may not always lead to satisfying results. In some cases, stains from jeans on polyurethane products may only be removable by using a rubber. Stains from surplus dies should otherwise always be dry-cleaned but cannot be guaranteed to disappear completely.
Be careful when using solvents; these could dissolve the upholstery materials beneath.
Never use un-concentrated detergents or bleach, ammonia, or soap intended for hard surfaces.
Upholstered furniture for normal commercial use should be cleaned 2–3 times a year. Upholsteries in private households usually need less frequent cleaning, approx. 1-2 times a year.
Textile upholsteries on loose cushions and pillows should be fluffed frequently, vacuumed and cleaned according to the upholstered fabric.
If a stain has been removed using water or other liquids, you must let the fabric dry completely before using the furniture again. This is done to avoid any stretching or deforming of the fabric.
General Stain Cleaning
As mentioned, we recommend that you talk to your local dry cleaner or a professional furniture cleaner before self-cleaning. The same rule replies for all stains: The faster you act, the better the chance of removing the stains entirely.
When a stain occurs, start by vacuuming the furniture as most stains can be made worse by dust and dirt. If the stain is liquid, start by gently dapping a dry cotton cloth to absorb as much of the liquid as possible, then vacuum for dust and dirt.
Following that, gently dap the stain and its surrounding area with a cotton cloth that has been wrung with lukewarm water. Be aware of the color rub. Do not rub the stain in as this can make the fabric peel or lose its light fastness, thereby making the stain even more visible.
If the stain occurs due to blood, use cold water instead of lukewarm water.
Do not use potato starch to absorb any liquid. This can in some cases create new stains or make the fabric less flexible in the given area.
It is possible to use salt for the absorption of a liquid stain, but test this on an “invisible” area first. Use water to remove any salt stains.
For grease stains, you can try to apply a small amount of clear, colorless dishwashing soap to the water that you have wrung your cloth in. Dap gently on the stain, followed by gently dapping the stain and area around with a cotton cloth wrung in lukewarm water to remove the soap from the textile.
Avoid soaking the upholstery underneath the textile.
If your stain occurs from flower pollen, before doing anything else, you must vacuum the area without rubbing the area in any way. If this doesn’t help, contact a dry cleaner or furniture cleaner.
For cleaning textiles at home, remove non-grease stains by carefully dabbing with a lint-free cloth or sponge that has been wrung out in warm water.
If necessary, clean by dabbing with soapy water.
Finally, dab the surface with clean water.
For all Kvadrat upholsteries, please see Kvadrat.dk for further cleaning and maintenance instructions for your chosen textile.
ABOUT STEEL
The steel that we use for our designs is either painted with a powder coating or chrome plated for a durable and sturdy finish. The chrome quality used for our designs is a chrome 3 variant that is both stainless and robust.
HOW TO CARE FOR STEEL
Stainless Steel
Keep stainless steel surfaces clean and dry. Stainless steel surfaces may be permanently stained if fat, water and cleaning products are not removed quickly.
Do not use chlorine or abrasive cleaners as these may damage the surface.
Regular cleaning:
Clean the surface with a lint-free cloth wrung in lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Wipe the surface with a dry lint-free cloth.
Thorough cleaning:
Stubborn stains and rust may be removed by careful cleaning with a light-abrasive cleaner that is suitable for stainless steel. If the stainless steel has a polished surface, this direction of the structure must be followed. Be aware that this process can change the original polishing finish of the surface.
Powder-coated surfaces (aluminum and steel)
Regular cleaning:
Clean the surface with a lint-free cloth that has been wrung in a mixture of lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Wipe the surface with a dry lint-free cloth.
Outdoor deep scratches:
If the surface has been damaged, it is important to close the surface with a repair lacquer to avoid corrosion.
Chrome surfaces (furniture bases)
Keep chrome surface clean and dry. Chrome surfaces may be permanently stained if fat, water and cleaning products are not removed quickly
Regular cleaning:
Clean the surface with a lint-free cloth wrung in a mixture of lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Wipe the surface with a dry lint-free cloth.
Thorough cleaning:
Stubborn stains and rust may be removed by careful cleaning with a lint-free cloth that has been gently soaked in alcohol.
Be aware that this process can change the original polishing finish of the surface over time.
WHAT IS POLYMER FELT?
Polymer felt is a special composite material, made of two materials: PET and polyester. PET is partly made from recycled plastic bottles.
HOW TO CARE FOR POLYMER FELT
Clean the polymer felt by vacuuming it on a regular basis. Remove stains with a clean, damp cloth.
ABOUT OREGON PINE
Oregon pine is a wood type that has a softer touch when compared to ash and oak. Over time, the surface color of the wood will be slightly altered when exposed to light and indoor climates, making for an inherently unique expression that echoes the traces of time.
CLEANING
Wipe off with a moist cloth and remove excess liquid with a dry cloth.
ABOUT OAK
Oak is a traditional Scandinavian material with durable abilities against factors such as water and fungi, giving it long-lasting properties that make it a great fit for furniture. Our products in lacquered oak veneer should be cleaned on a regular basis with a damp, clean cloth. Remove stains using a mild mixture of water and detergent.
HOW TO CARE FOR PRODUCTS IN OAK
Designs in solid oak—tabletops in particular—should be kept clean using a damp cloth on a regular basis while stains should be removed with a mixture of water and detergent. For long-term care, it is recommended that oak tabletops are treated with a special oak wood oil 2-3 times a year, making the wood resistant to stains and fluids.
THE LEATHER WE WORK WITH
Leather is a natural product. It is made from animal skin that has been processed to resist chemical and mechanical exposure.
We work with some of Europe’s leading leather suppliers to ensure that the leather used in our designs is of the highest possible quality. All leather used in Muuto products has been sourced from either Scandinavian or European cattle.
Leather categories:
Leather can be divided into 4 to 8 categories, depending on different factors. Some leather suppliers also create their own categories if their leather has unique attributes that do not match the standard categories. The main categories that we work with at Muuto are:
ANILINE LEATHER
Aniline leather is the purest, most natural leather. In fact, only around 3-5% of all leathers in the world are compliant with the requirements for being classified as aniline leather. The leather shows the natural features that are inherently present in animal hides with slight variations of the material occurring for a distinct, unique character. The leather has a natural expression with a soft, warm feel. Our Refine Leather is an aniline leather quality with a smooth, soft surface for optimal seating comfort. The leather is untreated with only a thin light waxing, allowing for the leather to breathe and patinate beautifully.
SEMI-ANILINE LEATHER
Semi-aniline leather is a full-grain leather with a light top finish. The treatment of the surface makes the leather more durable. Semi-aniline leather is very soft and pliable with a high level of comfort. Our Easy Leather and Endure Leather are both semi-aniline leathers. We recommend using Endure Leather for contract projects and public environments due to its high durability. Natural leather does not perform well in dry air and sunlight. As a precautionary measure, we recommend placing leather upholstered furniture away from direct sunlight and refrain from having them in highly air-conditioned rooms as this can make the leather fade or dry out. Roughly 15-20% of the world’s leather production is semi-aniline.
PIGMENTED/CORRECTED LEATHER
Corrected leather has been sanded down to correct the surface. Then, pigmentation is added to create a surface pattern. This process results in leather that is easy to maintain and has excellent durability. The pigmentation of the leather also results in leather that will not create a patina over time but maintain its appearance. Roughly 80% of the world’s leather production is corrected or pigmented leather.
HOW TO CARE FOR LEATHER
Natural leather does not perform well in dry air and sunlight. As a precautionary measure, we recommend to place leather upholstered furniture away from direct sunlight and refrain from having them in highly air-conditioned rooms as this can make the leather fade or dry out. Regular care of the leather helps maintain its inherent qualities and prolong the lifespan of the surface. Clean the leather with a dry cloth or soft brush. Treat and moisturize the leather four or more times a year using only special leather treatment products for aniline and semi-soft leather products.
NATURAL MARKS
The typical natural characteristics that can occur on the different leather types are:
GENERAL CLEANING GUIDE FOR LEATHER
This guideline is a general guide for leather.
ABOUT LAMINATE
The laminate used in our designs is partly made from melamine resin; one of the hardest, synthetically produced organic materials. It has the ability to make a surface highly resistant towards scratches and natural wear.
HOW TO CARE FOR LAMINATE
Regular cleaning:
Clean the surface with a clean lint-free cloth that has been wrung in lukewarm water. We do not recommend using a cleaning detergent as it might leave a surface of the furniture.
To keep the surface clean and beautiful for many years to come, we recommend using a cleaning and care product that is specifically suited for laminate.
Scratches can, in most cases, be removed with a melamine sponge. Apply a little water to the sponge and gently rub it in circular movements onto the scratched area.
Thorough cleaning:
For a more thorough cleaning of the surface, we recommend using a cleaning and care product that is specifically suited for laminate:
ABOUT COTTON
Cotton is a natural material that is strong and hardwearing while being easy to clean. This is due to its durability in use, pull and pilling. Cotton fibers are typically divided according to the fiber length, purity in the fiber and color. The longest, purest fibers are seen as the finest. For furniture upholstery fabrics, coarser fibers are often used for added durability.
Due to its cotton fiber structure, cotton has good absorbency. However, in wet conditions, cotton can be pulled out of form and become loose in its fit.
Our cotton throws are made from 100% cotton that has been dyed and woven by hand.
HOW TO CARE FOR COTTON
Our cotton products can be machine washed at 30ºC / 80ºF. Wash separately to prevent color changes.
ABOUT ASH
Ash is a key material in Scandinavian furniture. We use naturally bright, oiled ash, bringing a light sentiment into our designs. The material is used in all of our colored furniture designs as ash is easily curved and shaped while being an excellent surface for lacquering, giving the colors, be they vibrant, refined or warm, a long lifespan on the wooden surface.
HOW TO CARE FOR ASH
Color lacquered and oil ash wood should be cleaned on a regular basis with a damp, clean cloth. Remove stains using a mild mixture of water and detergent. Avoid surface contact with sharp objects as these leave scratches in the wood and lacquer.
ABOUT ALUMINUM
Aluminum’s malleability makes it a grand fit for highly detailed, durable Muuto products, bringing a light, airy feel to robust designs. Our aluminum products are powder-coated for a durable and sturdy finish.
HOW TO CARE FOR ALUMINUM
Clean the aluminum on a regular basis with a lint-free cloth that has been wrung in a mixture of lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Wipe the surface dry with a lint-free cloth.
WHAT IS LINOLEUM?
Linoleum is an organic composite material. It is made from flaxseed oil, resin, grounded lime, wood flour and felt paper. The result is a silky, matte look that brings a tactile dimension to the surface of a tabletop. The linoleum surface does not have a surface treatment and will be permanently damaged if hot items (over 80ºC / 176ºF) are placed directly onto the surface. We recommend using coasters for hot, humid and colored objects.
Warning! As linoleum is an organic material, it will deteriorate over time if the surface is exposed to large amounts of water or strong chemicals, including alkaline chemicals).
HOW TO CARE FOR LINOLEUM
First time cleaning:
We recommend that the first cleaning to be done when the furniture is delivered. Clean the surface with a moist cloth that has been wrung hard in a mix of lukewarm water and a neutral cleaning detergent. Let the table air dry and apply linoleum care. Follow the instructions on the linoleum care.
Regular cleaning:
Clean the surface with a lint-free cloth that has been wrung hard in a mix of lukewarm water and a neutral detergent. To keep the surface beautiful for many years to come, we recommend applying linoleum care on a regular basis, as this both cleans the surface of the furniture while also applying a protective layer.
Thorough cleaning:
For a more thorough cleaning of the surface, use linoleum care products and follow the instructions that follows the care product.
