Caring for walnut, felt and matte desk surfaces

Dry, restrained care protects the contrast between timber grain, soft felt and low-sheen polymer without polishing away their character.

Start dry

Use a clean microfibre cloth on walnut and matte modules, and a soft brush on felt. Remove grit before wiping so hard particles do not drag across the finish.

Avoid aggressive cleaners

Do not use solvents, abrasive pads or soaking-wet cloths. If a damp wipe is approved in the care card, dry the area immediately and keep moisture away from electronics.

Expect material character

Walnut grain and tone vary naturally, while frequently handled matte surfaces develop subtle use marks. Replacement modules can refresh high-contact zones without discarding the base.
