Hydrolux Exterior Sealant for Malawi Furniture
Hydrolux Exterior Sealant for Malawi Furniture
Fumigation
Fumigation
Each Malawi piece is 100% fumigated over a temperature controlled, 48 hour period both before leaving Malawi and when arriving in Cape Town, South Africa. This process eradicates and prevents all wood destroying insects in the furniture, before entering your home.
Caring for your Malawi Cane
We highly recommend sealing your cane with our UV resistant and water-resistant sealant in order to prolong the life of your furniture.
Our special, water-based sealant is used to:
- Prolong the life of your furniture outdoors or indoors.
- Improve the aesthetic appeal of your cane.
- Specially formulated, water-based sealer, adds strength to your cane.
- Maintain the light cane colour while outdoors.
- Ensures your cane does now dry out and keeps is supple yet strong.
- Application: Use a standard household spray bottle is the best way to apply our sealer.
Important: Once the sealer has been applied please allow a cure time to dry of 36 - 48 hours. Do not wet before then.
Rain & Damp
Keep your cane covered and out of rainy, humid conditions. Keeping cane in these damp conditions may result in the cane becoming dark, dull and sometimes mouldy. If your cane develops dark mouldy spots, simply use soapy water and a scrubbing brush to remove.
Sunlight
Keep cane out of direct sunlight and heat in order to prevent it from getting brittle over time. Sealing the cane using a high-oil content furniture polish keeps the cane supple. Lemon oil or mineral oil (used sparingly) applied to the cane furniture once a year is sufficient to keep it maintained.
