How do I clean and polish my outdoor wooden furniture?

Now we are approaching the outdoor season, it has prompted some enquiries about looking after outdoor wooden furniture. This furniture is usually made from teak or mahagony, more often teak. Both woods respond well to Heritage Woodcare. Teak does however have a tendecy to weather i.e. it goes a pleasant silvery colour. Where this has happened, do NOT apply anything to your furniture without sanding it first, otherwise the finish will go black.

To use Heritage Woodcare there is no need to clean your furniture as your Heritage will do that. You will first need to thoroughly shake your bottle, Pour some into a container, take any soft, clean and dry cloth, soak it in your polish and then squeeze and wring your cloth out till it is damp dry. Pour any surplus polish back into your bottle. You are now ready!

All you need to do now is to wipe your furniture following the direction of the grain. Heritage Woodcare will clean and polish in one go, and you will find that there is no need to buff up so your Heritage saves you time and effort whilst leaving a great finish.

My Heritage Woodcare is discoloured / Can I use Heritage on outdoor teak furniture?

I have had a couple of interesting questions posed to me recently. The first one came from a customer whose Heritage Woodcare appears to be discoloured. She wanted to know if this was OK. When using coloured cloths, the colour will often bleed into the polish. This is especially so when using yellow dusters. It is not harmful and doesn't affect the functioning of the polish. Do not, however, pour dirty polish back into your container as it will contaminate the rest of the polish. Don't throw your polish away though, keep it for use on floors, etc,

The second question came from a customer who wanted to know about using the polish on outdoor teak furniture. Teak needs regular oiling to keep it in tiptop condition. As Heritage is oil based it is, therefore, recommended for use on teak. However, do not use it on Teak that has weathered and gone silvery as your teak will go black. If your teak has weathered, it is recommended that the surface be sanded first to remove the silvery finish before applying your Heritage.

Will Heritage Woodcare remove the buildup of wax polish from my mahogony furniture?

I received a phone call from a customer this morning who has a lot of mahogony furniture that has a buildup of wax polish and has gone dull.A friend recommended Heritage Woodcare to restore the finish and bring the furnirure back to life. Indeed, this is a situation tailor made for Heritage.

Give your bottle a thorough shake, pour some polish into a container, soak any sort of soft, dry and clean cloth in the polish, squeeze and ring your cloth out till it is damp dry and pour any surplus polish back into your bottle. You are now ready.

Using Heritage Woodcare is very easy. All you do is wipe, following the grain of the wood. There is a possibility your furniture may go streaky. Don't worry, this is simply the polish doing its' work and means more than one application is required. Having wiped your furniture, there is no need to buff up.

Heritage Woodcare is a twentyfirst century polish based on a tried and tested recipe that is centuries old and was known only by the grand masters of the furniture crafts. The competition for perfection in the cleaning, polishing, and preservation of wooden furniture between these rival grandmasters can still be seen today when looking at many priceless antiques. In order, to get the desired results, these grandmasters would spend hours, sometimes days, working on a single item.


Few people today have the time, or the patience, of these grandmasters, so after much research, and backed up by modern technology, this centuries old recipe has been updated to produce Heritage Woodcare. which gives the same outstanding results in a fraction of the time.

How to keep Leather Clothing And Footwear Clean and polished

recently I have been telling you about Heritage Leathercare and its' various uses and I am now going to tell how to use it on clothing and footwear.Heritage Leathercare is ideal for use on leather clothing (jackets, skirts, trousers, etc) particularly Motor Bike Leathers. It is also ideal for leather boots (riding boots, work boots, etc) and shoes As it is colourless Heritage Leathercare can be used on any colour although white or similar light colours, may need to be cleaned first. Simply wipe over with a soapy cloth, paying special attention to areas where there is a buildup of marks. Ensure your leather is totally dry and you are then ready. On darker colours your Heritage will clean as it polishes. Take your sponge (provided) and wipe over the surface of your Heritage Leathercare, removing any surplus by wiping on the inside edge of your container. You then simply wipe over your leather in circular motions, ensuring your leather is not greasy (if it is then just buff up using a clean and dry soft cloth). Heritage Leathercare feeds, polishes,and protects your leather, leaving a water resistant finish.As stated your Heritage will clean and polish your leather boots and shoes at the same time, keeping them soft and water resistant It's ease of use makes it especially suitable for motor bike boots and knee length leather fashion boots.Note: Heritage Leathercare is NOT recommended for use on suede, nubuck or nappa leathers.
