Product Care & Safety Guide

At Sun Republic, we are proud to offer handcrafted furniture and décor made from high-quality, sustainably sourced materials. With a little care, your pieces will continue to bring beauty and function to your home for years to come.

Initial Care

Your furniture has been carefully crafted and transported. We recommend a gentle clean on arrival to remove transit dust.

Wipe with a soft, dry microfiber cloth.

Everyday Care & General Maintenance

Cleaning:
Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
Use a damp microfiber cloth and mild soap for spills—dry immediately.
Avoid bleach, abrasive cleaners, or harsh chemicals.
Wipe in the direction of the grain.

Protective Measures:
Use coasters, trivets, and placemats to prevent heat and moisture damage.
Place trays or mats under vases, pots, and plants.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Care by Material Type

American Oak & Indoor Teak

Both are finished with Osmo PolyX Raw, a pigmented hard wax oil that provides a natural look and mild stain resistance.

  • Rejuvenate with Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner every 12–18 months (or 6–12 months for high-use areas like dining tables).
  • For deep restoration, lightly sand with 400-grit paper and reapply Osmo.

Outdoor Teak

High-grade, raw-finished teak ages naturally into a soft silver-grey.

  • Clean regularly and treat with Golden Care Teak Cleaner, Protector, or Shield to maintain finish and durability.
  • Use a light sand for stubborn marks before applying care products.

Product Expectations

Each Sun Republic piece is unique, reflecting the natural beauty of its materials. Knots, grain variations, or slight colour differences are part of its character and not considered flaws.
