How do you remove a grease stain from a wooden table?
Ensure the table is clean of dust or coarse dirt before you begin. Next, you can start cleaning the stain:
- Start by preparing the cleaning agent. Depending on the severity of the stain, dilute the Intensive Cleaner 1:20 or 1:10 with lukewarm water. The less you dilute the agent, the stronger the effect.
- Apply using the Hand Cleaning Set. This contains a Hand Pad Holder and a Green Pad. We recommend scrubbing the entire table thoroughly with the Green Pad.
- Remove the loosened dirt with a damp cloth. Ensure the cleaning agent is completely removed before proceeding to the next step.
- After successful drying, treat the cleaned surface with Osmo Maintenance Oil.
