Welcome to PARCTA's Materials and Care Guide, a place to ensure that your products not only reflect our brand's commitment to quality but allow you to maintain and enjoy them for years to come.
Timber
Timber is a living and natural material and, therefore, should always be cleaned as gently as possible. Regular cleaning with a dry cloth ensures that the timber always looks nice and patinas beautifully.
Aluminium
Raw Aluminium: Over time the raw aluminium finish will patina, taking on a slightly darker colour as it naturally ages. The hand finished nature of this object means the surface finish will vary and have its own unique inconsistencies.
- Raw aluminium items exposed to water (liquids) should then be washed or rinsed after use and then thoroughly dried.
- Removing excess candle wax by running hot water over any affected surfaces. Wipe off remaining wax with polishing cloth and dry.
Anodised Aluminium: Anodised aluminium creates a surface that is three times harder than standard aluminium, and will not chip, flake, or peel. The anodisation process will also ensure your objects don’t rust, patina or weather.
- To clean, wipe thoroughly with warm soapy cloth and dry immediately after with dry cloth.
Kohzo Rice Paper
Avoid liquid cleaners. We suggest using a microfiber cloth or a dry paintbrush to remove dust. Any dry dusting tool can be used as long as it is not rough/textured.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is easy to clean and can be washed with soap, or a mild detergent, along with warm water. Once cleaned, a water rinse should be the next step, followed by drying with a soft, non-marking, cloth.
