Wood has a warmth to it—unlike cold, impersonal plastic, it breathes with nature and grows more beautiful with time. At Cosyland, we craft our home and children’s furniture from high-quality natural wood not just for its beauty and sustainability, but because it embodies our philosophy of slow living and thoughtful companionship.
Yet, natural wood needs proper care to thrive. Here’s how to maintain these living pieces so they can last longer and continue to enrich your family’s daily life.
1. Avoid Prolonged Sunlight & Moisture
Natural wood is sensitive to its environment. Direct sunlight can cause fading, cracking, or warping, while excessive moisture may lead to swelling or mold. Place wooden furniture in a dry, well-ventilated spot away from direct sunlight. In high-humidity areas (like kitchens or bathrooms), use moisture-resistant pads and wipe surfaces regularly.
2. Clean Gently—Skip the Harsh Chemicals
Wood has natural pores that absorb liquids, so avoid chemical cleaners or disinfectant wipes that can damage the finish. For everyday care, wipe surfaces with a soft, dry cloth or a lightly damp microfiber cloth. For child-friendly sanitizing, clean frequently handled toys with mild soap diluted in warm water, then dry immediately with a clean towel. Always allow wood to air-dry completely in a well-ventilated space—this prevents moisture damage while keeping your pieces safe and beautiful.
3. Nourish with Oil or Wax
Just like skin, wood needs hydration. To keep wooden furniture in its best condition, apply a natural wood wax or oil every 3–6 months—this nourishes the wood, enhances durability, and maintains its natural beauty. For safety, especially with children’s items, choose food-grade, non-toxic wax/oil.
After application, allow at least 24 hours for the product to fully absorb and dry before use, ensuring optimal protection and a smooth finish. This simple routine preserves both the wood’s integrity and your family’s well-being.
4. Prevent Scratches & Impact Damage
While Cosyland’s wooden pieces are sanded smooth with rounded edges for safety, rough handling or sharp objects can still leave marks. For gentle play, place wooden toys on soft rugs or play mats to prevent scratches. Attach non-slip pads under furniture legs to minimize wear from movement. A little care keeps them lasting longer!
5. Let It Breathe—Embrace the Natural Changes
Unlike synthetic materials, wood expands and contracts slightly with humidity and temperature shifts. Some minor texture changes or grain variations are normal—proof of its organic character, not a flaw. We encourage you to appreciate these natural quirks, as they tell the story of your life with wood.
