Why Proper Cork Care Matters
Cork is one of the easiest natural materials to care for. Thanks to its natural properties, it is water-repellent, durable and resistant to many everyday stresses. However, the recommended cleaning and care depend on the type of cork product.
While cork bags and cork accessories can usually be cleaned with water and natural soap, cork coasters often benefit from a treatment with beeswax balm. Cork rolls, cork sheets and cork flooring require cleaning and care methods that are suited to their specific application.
Our guides show you step by step how to clean cork products properly, remove stains, protect surfaces and avoid common care mistakes.
