Rubio Hard Wax Oil Care Instructions

Congratulations on your new furniture from Goose woodworking! Your furniture has been finished in Rubio Monocoat Hard Wax Oil and with proper care and maintenance, it will look great for many years to come. Please keep this handout as a reference for proper care of your furniture.


Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C is a natural and environmentally friendly oil. It creates an extremely durable finish and enhances the natural beauty and grain of wood furniture. 


Caring for your Rubio Monocoat oil finished surface is simple, and when done properly, keeps your furniture looking beautiful for a lifetime.

Cleaning

Keeping your oiled furniture clean is the first step to caring for your oil finish. 

Once your furniture piece is finished with Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C, you should allow at least 5 days for it to fully cure before cleaning with liquids.  In addition, you should not leave anything on the furniture during the first 5 days. [Use delivery date as the start]

Keeping dirt and grit off of wooden furniture will greatly extend the life of any finish. 

There are 2 options available for cleaning your oiled furniture.
1. Damp rag
2. Use Rubio Monocoat Soap or Surface Care Spray (recommended cleaners) 

Using a damp rag with clean water is sufficient for the regular cleaning of your oiled furniture.

Remember that wood and water do not mix, so using a damp rag means your rag should not be “dripping wet” when cleaning a wood surface. Clean using a damp rag with water as needed but avoid doing so daily. Clean water will not always get your furniture clean. 

If you prefer to use the Rubio cleaning products, they are available on Amazon or directly from https://www.rubiomonocoatusa.com/products/ (as well as the Maintenance Oil)

Maintenance

Universal Maintenance Oil is used to increase the sheen of an oil finished surface. Oil Plus 2C has a
matte finish and applying Universal Maintenance Oil will increase the sheen slightly, to approximately a
velvet-like appearance. It also nourishes and adds a light glow to the wood finish.  

Universal Maintenance Oil can also be used to convert wood furniture finished with a different or unknown brand of oil finish to a Rubio Monocoat surface.
