How do you care for petrified wood?

Petrified wood is a natural material that has existed for millions of years.
It is robust, stable, and created by nature's own processes.

But like all natural materials, it deserves gentle and mindful care.

Here we guide you on how to care for your petrified wood – simply and calmly.

Can petrified wood withstand water?

Yes.

Petrified wood is mineralized stone today and therefore withstands water.

A soap dispenser or table protector can be used in the kitchen and bathroom without any problems.

However, wipe the surface dry after prolonged contact with water to preserve the shine.

Gentle cleaning

Use:

• A soft cloth
• Lukewarm water
• Possibly a mild soap

Avoid harsh cleaning agents and acid-based limescale removers.

The material is strong – but unique.

However, wipe the surface dry after prolonged contact with water to preserve the shine.

Should it be treated with oil?

In most cases, no.

Petrified wood does not require ongoing treatment.
If you wish to enhance the depth of color, a small amount of natural stone oil can be applied sparingly.

Always wipe off excess oil.

What should be avoided?

• Strong acids
• Hard scouring pads
• Impacts against sharp edges

Even though the material is stone, each piece is unique.

Petrified wood is created over millions of years.
With simple care, it can accompany you for the rest of your life.
