Walnut and oak are valued for their warmth, visible grain, and small variations in colour. A gentle routine helps timber accessories stay useful while preserving the natural character that makes each piece distinct.
Use the lightest touch first
For routine dusting, use a soft dry cloth. When a surface needs a little more attention, wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth, then dry it promptly. This applies across Oak & Origin’s walnut and oak accessories unless the product page gives different care instructions.
What to avoid
- Do not soak wooden pieces or leave them sitting in water.
- Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners, which can affect the surface.
- Dry promptly after light cleaning and avoid prolonged moisture.
- Store wooden pieces in a dry environment when they are not in use.
Care by product type
Dispensers: Wipe the walnut exterior of The Pour with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry promptly. The refillable glass bottle can be washed with mild soap and water as needed.
Serving and rotating surfaces: For The Grove, The Orchard, and The Mill, use a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Follow any care guidance supplied with the item.
Wall storage: Dust The Nook with a soft cloth. For light cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and dry promptly. For mounted pieces, always follow the installation and care guidance supplied with the product.
Expect natural variation
Natural timber varies in grain, colour, and texture. These differences are part of the material rather than a defect, and the piece you receive may not look exactly like a photograph.
When you are unsure
Check the product page and the care guidance supplied with your item before using a treatment or cleaner. When in doubt, keep the approach simple: soft cloth, minimal moisture, prompt drying.
