4. Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your TÄRNÖ table.
Cleaning:
- Clean regularly with a mild soap solution.
- Wipe dry with a clean, dry cloth immediately after cleaning.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
Wood Care (Varnishing):
To prevent the surface from drying out, cracking, or moisture penetrating the wood, we recommend varnishing the furniture regularly, for example, one to two times per year. The varnish for wood (VÅRDA) is sold separately by IKEA.
Storage:
- When not in use, especially during off-season or harsh weather, store the table in a cool, dry place.
- If stored outdoors, cover the table with a water-resistant canvas to protect it from elements.
- After rain or snow, eliminate any moisture from flat surfaces to prevent water condensation and damage. Ensure good air circulation if covered.
5. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common concerns and provides solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
