Finish:

From 2020, most Bloooms products will not be finished with

one layer of oil but with two despite the fact that Mono coat

represents just one layer.

During testing, we found that an extra layer of the

the same brand has positive effects or the appearance as well as protection.

What is desirable:

The oil has not yet hardened when your furniture is delivered.

It will take about three weeks.

In those weeks you must be alert to moisture.

So immediately remove circles with a dry cloth.

Obviously, this depends on circumstances such as air humidity.

In addition, oil on pressed bamboo takes longer to harden than

traditional solid bamboo.

What is undesirable:

Do not put non-breathable clothes such as tarpaulin on the table.

Oil still breathes for a long time.

When the leaf is closed, sweat stains appear,

especially if there are hot drinks on it.

You should always be vigilant with acids such as baby food, 

vinegar, and wines.

This does not only apply to oil-finished surfaces.

After three weeks, you may start with a wet cloth more often.

What we do recommend is to use soap from Rubio Monocoat.

This keeps the oil layer intact and applies an extra protective layer.

Naturally, maintenance is highly dependent on how a table is used.

If you do not have children, dry cloth is usually enough.

Do not wait too long for wine and acids to decrease, the more it,

can absorb the more difficult it becomes to remove the stain.

Finish: Rubio monocoat oil
Water-free and VOC-free
Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus does not contain water or organic solvents.
The product mainly consists of natural ingredients.
The technology: colors and protects through molecular bonding
Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus adheres with the uppermost microns of the wood, through molecular bonding with the fibres (no film-forming, no saturation method).
Through molecular bonding, long-lasting and durable protection is achieved.
The method word assessing the resistance against wear is based on the NEN 2072 Prefabricated laminated parquet - Methods of test and inspection.
The resistance to water is determined according to NEN-EN 13442.
Pleasant worktop
Since bamboo actually is a grass fiber, it has a much finer structure than most types of wood. Because of this, the surface is by nature already tough and smooth.  It is virtually scratch-free. In short, an ideal worktop for work desks and dining tables alike.

Virtually maintenance-free
Bloooms finish the bamboo with natural oil. This forms a molecular bonding with the wood, resulting in an extremely dense and durable layer. This layer is not on the wood, as with paint or varnish, but becomes a part of it. Therefore it is extremely resistant to wear.
The treated bamboo is also excellently resistant to moisture. Stains on

Care:
Traditionally glued bamboo requires little to no care.
It absorbs in water circles in limited amounts.
Do not let acids (wine and vinegar) stain.

I gladly invite customers to share their experiences with my product.
I am happy with the positive reactions, the less positive ones are something for me to work on.

Hello Paul,

The table is doing really fine.
That oil truly is miracle stuff.
Whatever we spill on it: coffee, wine, grease, etc.: we'll wipe off the table with water and Glassex or something like that.
Firs a stain/ dark spot will appear, but after a while, it will disappear.
The table still looks brand new.
It's a good idea to sell the oil separately.
In due time our table will probably need another layer. I'll come visit you when that's the case.

Best wishes from Stieneke

For our products, I have proprietary maintenance materials on sale, such as soap.
An advantage of this soap is that it will leave the oil intact.

Experiences:

Spontaneous reactions from customers!


I am happy with positive reactions, with the less positive reactions I go to work.

Hi Paul,

The table is still fine.

That oil is really a panacea.

Whatever we spill on: coffee, wine, grease, etc.: we take the table with water and glass or similar.

Then there is first a circle / dark spot, but after a while, it disappears.

The table still looks like new.

Good idea to sell that oil separately.

Tzt will also have a layer left over here. I'll come by if it's that far.

greetings from S.

Good morning Paul

At the new table, I think I had to get used to it.

Meanwhile the "stands" (half-turn turned, the paintings on the wall hung different, etcetera)

And now, a few days after arrival, I think it's the most beautiful table ever. He will never leave,

I sit there a lot, am already attached to it, it is really my place. (with nice view of the garden).

Thank you for making such a beautiful piece for us and my sorry that I was not that enthusiastic at first.

Sincerely

I.

Dear Paul,

The little Desk is BEAUTIFUL! and is MOOOI at my house. Thank you for your work.

It took a while before I could respond, because -  the little desk was sent a day later than planned.                              

I was not home when the delivery driver rang.

The package was therefore delivered to a post office. I could pick it up later,

but: it was not possible to bring it to my house by bike or by hoisting (not because it was too heavy,

but because I could not include the package).

So I had to arrange someone with a car. That worked last Saturday. What turned out that car was too small                

(still a decent car though). So a larger car, where the package could.

But all we laugh.

It is now there and I am happy with it, I want to let you know - the maker -.

I also want to order a bottle of that cleaning stuff (for you never know).

How much does that cost?

With best regards,

L

Dear Paul,

The drawer arrived last Saturday and he is already hanging under my mirror. I'm very happy with it.
He looks really nice and fits well together! ( see picture)
Thank you! Continue your business with success.

With friendly greetings,

E
