Care and Maintinance

Duflbox Jackets and Pockets are made in 12oz Waxed Canvas which will last a lifetime of hard work and adventures and still be around to help tell the stories. 

All of Duflbox wood components are hand oiled with Rubio Monocoat which is composed of natural ingredients. It is sustainable, renewable, and completely environmentally friendly. 

Wood Care-

Using a damp rag with clean water is sufficient for the regular cleaning of your oiled furniture. Remember that wood and water do not mix, so using a damp rag means your rag should not be “dripping wet” when cleaning a wood surface.  If needed use a mild, non-abrasive cleanser specifically designed for oiled wood to clean any spills or stains.

Periodic rejuvenation/maintenance is necessary, usually between 4 and 6 years, depending on climate, use, and care. Maintenance is done using Rubio Monocoat Renew.  This is a ready-to-use product that refreshes, restores, and protects bringing the surface back to a freshly oiled state. 

Canvas Care-

Go easy on the cleaning. A few scuffs and a little dust isn’t going to kill your waxed canvas. But if you’ve got some major dirt to deal with, gently scrub it away with a bristled brush. If needed, spray the waxed canvas with cold water for additional cleaning. And if you’re dealing with a tough spot that you really want to clean up, add a small amount of mild soap (NOT DETERGENT) to the cold water. Then rinse and allow to air dry. DO NOT dry clean or machine wash your waxed canvas pockets or jacket!

Watch out for the heat. Do not try to clean it with hot water! Extreme heat will break down the wax coating.  You can re-apply wax if needed.
