How to Keep and Clean Wood Pendant Lights

Wood pendant lights are more than just functional—they’re handcrafted pieces of design that deserve proper care. With the right techniques, your light can maintain its beauty and structure for years. Here’s how to do it right.

1. Protect the Grain: Why StableGrain™ Coating Matters

Wood is a living material, constantly reacting to moisture and temperature changes. The Zepboo StableGrain™ nano coating:

• Seals the surface without clogging the natural grain pattern

• Prevents humidity warping with less than 0.3% shape distortion

• Adds a layer of protection against spills, steam, and dust

It’s perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, or anywhere environmental conditions fluctuate.

2. Monthly Ritual: 10-Minute Beeswax Treatment

Keep your fixture vibrant with this quick monthly routine:

• Mix organic beeswax with a soft microfiber cloth

• Gently rub along the grain (never against it)

• Buff with a clean cloth for a subtle sheen

This not only nourishes the wood but also enhances the natural patina over time.

3. Avoid These Common Mistakes

• No harsh cleaners. Alcohol or bleach can strip the finish.

• No steam contact. Steam loosens adhesives and weakens joints.

• No direct sun for long periods. It causes uneven fading.

Instead, opt for indirect light, low-humidity zones, and periodic gentle dusting.

4. Choose Responsibly: FSC-Certified Materials

Zepboo’s wood pendant lights use FSC-certified sustainable wood, ensuring:

• Ethical sourcing

• Long-term durability

• Enhanced resistance to pests and rot

Sustainability meets design, without compromise.

5. Real-World Success: A Zero-Maintenance Restaurant

One tropical-themed bistro in Bali installed the Zepboo StableGrain™ series three years ago. Despite high humidity and daily traffic:

• Zero warping

• No cracks or peeling

• No reapplication of finishes needed

Thanks to thoughtful care and smart material choice, the lights still look like new.

Conclusion: Care Today, Glow Forever

A wood pendant light can last generations—if you treat it right. With nano coatings like StableGrain™, simple beeswax routines, and responsible placement, your light will stay gorgeous and functional without constant fuss. Let the wood age with grace—and glow with purpose.
