KRZYWDA

Care Instructions

Krzywda products are meticulously handcrafted from the finest materials that evolve and gain distinctive character over time, underscoring their enduring quality. To preserve the beauty and longevity of your Krzywda pieces, we recommend handling them with care using the following directions, ensuring they remain a cherished part of your collection for years to come.

Woods:
Wood pieces have been stained and/or polished to bring depth and beauty to each finish. Although most are protected with either a clear coat or wax, they are still susceptible to wear.

Maintenance:
-Care for your wood pieces by dusting regularly with a soft cloth. Do not use aerosol, commercial, or heavy-duty polishes or waxes, as they can yellow light finishes.

Important Environmental Information:
-Do not place/leave hot or moist objects directly on wood surfaces. Rubber or plastic left on the wood finish can damage the finish.
-Do not place wood items near heaters, air conditioning units, or in direct sunlight to prevent over-drying and fading.
-Avoid extreme humidity changes in your home, as this can cause wood to expand and contract, and can cause damage.
-Maintain humidity levels between 35-45%, as extremely dry air can cause wood to crack.
-Exposing wood to extreme moisture can also cause swelling and warping.

Restoration:
-We recommend that deeply stained or soiled wood pieces be professionally cleaned or refinished.

Metals:
Most metals on Krzywda pieces are delivered with a live finish unless specified differently. The live finishes are designed to naturally patina over time.

Maintenance (live and lacquered finishes):
-Clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not use commercial or heavy-duty polishes or waxes as they may scratch or damage the finish.

Restoration:
-To restore a polished finish on an item with a live or non-live finish, we recommend that they be professionally cleaned and polished.

Glass and Crystal:

Maintenance:
-They can be cleaned by wiping with a soft, damp cloth or glass cleaner with no additives.
-Apply the glass cleaner to a soft cloth rather than directly onto the fixture to avoid overspray that may damage other finishes. .

Restoration:
-Light scratches and nicks can often be addressed by a professional glass service.
