FAQs
Is this product safe for direct food contact?
Yes, Briwax Natural Wood Wax is made from 100% natural ingredients and is free from harmful solvents, making it safe for use on kitchen worktops, food preparation areas, and chopping boards.
Will this wax change the color of my wood?
No, this is a clear natural wax that provides minimal color change. It is designed to protect and enhance the wood's natural appearance without altering its original shade.
How often should I reapply the wax?

Can I use this wax on exterior wood?
No, Briwax Natural Wood Wax is specifically formulated for interior woodwork protection and is not suitable for exterior applications or exposure to weather elements.
What is the scent of the wax?
The wax has a pleasant, natural fragrance derived from essential oils, without the harsh chemical smell often associated with solvent-based polishes.
Is this product suitable for all wood types?
Yes, it is suitable for all types of solid interior woodwork, helping to protect and maintain their natural finish.
How do I clean a surface treated with this wax?
Clean the surface with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents, abrasive cleaners, or excessive amounts of water, as these can damage the wax finish.
Troubleshooting
Wax appears streaky or uneven
Ensure the wax was applied thinly and evenly. Buff more vigorously after drying to remove excess and achieve a uniform sheen. If streaks persist, you may need to apply another very thin coat and buff again.
Surface feels tacky after application
Too much wax may have been applied, or it was not buffed sufficiently. Allow more drying time, then buff again with a clean, soft cloth. If tackiness remains, try applying a very small amount of mineral spirits to a cloth and wiping the surface to remove excess wax, then re-buff.
Wood odor is not eliminated
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned before application. For persistent odors, a deeper clean of the wood may be necessary. The wax helps minimize odor absorption; it does not chemically neutralize existing strong odors.
