Live Edge Table Care Guide
A care guide for live edge dining tables covering cleaning, protection and refreshing the finish.
A live edge dining table is designed to be used and enjoyed daily, but proper care ensures it maintains its appearance and performance for decades. Understanding how to clean, protect and refresh the surface allows owners to extend the lifespan of their table significantly.
At RockVine, all live edge dining tables are finished using breathable hardwax oil systems designed for real-world use.
Daily Cleaning
Use a soft dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and food residue. Avoid harsh detergents and abrasive cleaners that can strip protective oils.
Protecting The Surface
Use placemats, coasters and heat mats to prevent prolonged exposure to moisture and high temperatures. Lift heavy décor rather than dragging it across the surface.
Refreshing The Finish
Small surface marks can be spot-treated using maintenance oil without sanding the entire tabletop. This keeps the surface protected and visually consistent.
Long-Term Maintenance
A full refresh oil treatment every 12 to 18 months maintains surface protection and keeps the timber nourished.
