6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your balcony table.

• Cleaning: Clean the table surface with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and wipe dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads.
• Oiling: As an oiled wood product, it is recommended to re-oil the table periodically (e.g., annually or as needed, depending on exposure to elements) to maintain its finish, protect against moisture, and prevent fading. Use a suitable outdoor wood oil. Follow the oil manufacturer's instructions.
• Storage: When not in use, especially during prolonged periods of rain, snow, or extreme temperatures, store the table in a dry, sheltered location (e.g., shed, garage) to protect the wood.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and hinges. Tighten any loose fasteners to ensure the table remains stable and secure.
