Our chairs are finished with a Mylands Clear wax polish, which will protect from stains and small spills. Simply wipe anything off quickly with a damp cloth. If you feel like it needs a top up, any wax based finish will be sufficient.
The rushes are a naturally stain resistant material, any spills can just be wiped off with a damp cloth. Please note: Rushes are a natural fibre and if left in a cold damp environment are at risk of going mouldy. Please take care when storing long term.
