1. WHAT DO I DO IF THE PAINT/STAIN IS COMING OFF?

Your item is freshly painted/stained. It may sporadically happen that initially some excess paint/stain will get released resulting in color transfer. Before first use, rub several times all painted/stained surfaces with a dry, clean cotton cloth until no paint/stain comes off.

2. HOW DO I CLEAN MY PRODUCT?

• Clean with a soft, dry clean cloth to protect finish, avoid the use of chemicals or household cleaners.
• Avoid contact with water. The product is not meant for outdoor use, except for the Wooden Climbers and Trapeze bars which can be treated for outdoor use. 
• To protect the paint/stain on the unfinished products, we recommend the application of a water-based, non-toxic wood sealant.
• We suggest to place a soft mat beneath the climbing furniture.
• Don’t leave children without adult supervision.
• Our products are handmade, smoothed and with rounded edges.

 9. WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF YOUR RAW MATERIAL? IS IT TOXIC?

 Our materials are non-toxic, below their specifications:

• Paints: We use standard water-based, acrylic, solvent-free and non-toxic paints. 
• Stains: We use standard water-based, acrylic, solvent-free and non-toxic stains. 
• Plywood: our plywood is Sveza Certified European plywood, it holds the E1 Certificate which means the plywood fulfills the requirements of the emission class E1 regarding its formaldehyde release levels. The MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) shows 0% of volatiles by volume.

10. WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN UNFINISHED VS ACRYLIC SEALANT? 

The unfinished products are perfectly sanded, with rounded edges and smooth to the touch, but the item will carry no sealant, oil or varnish to protect the wood and paint against natural wear.

The acrylic wood sealant provides further protection by shielding the items from extreme temperatures and/or humidity, thus extending the items' lifespan. The Acrylic Wood Sealant will prevent the wood grain from absorbing stain/spills, making cleaning easier. Our sealant is water-based, clear & non-toxic; matte finish.

11.IS THE ACRYLIC WOOD SEALANT NECESSARY?

The acrylic wood sealant is always recommended for any wooden product such as ours. We believe it’s a must as it will extend the items' lifespan and will prevent issues such as faded paint or wood damage due to normal wear and/or humidity, spills or stains.

We strongly recommend either to order the items with sealant or to apply the sealant at home before assembly.

12. ARE ALL ITEMS MADE TO ORDER OR DO YOU HAVE STOCK?

Occasionally we do have some parts in stock, but generally, everything is manufactured on demand. The standard production time is 4 weeks but it can increase up to 8 weeks during Christmas Holidays.

Yes, we offer replacement parts. You may request them by emailing us at info@rikitikitoy.com
