What is used to coat the bench (type of stain/oil/wax) & is it zero VOC & non-toxic? A link to the MSDS would help due to chemical allergies.

I think the manufacturer would have to answer that, but I can tell you that there are no fumes as I have experienced when working on wood with Min Wax, etc. The finish is dark, lustrous, and well coated with something protective so that it seems very scuff resistant. I have mine in a knook that used to be a closet. I took the door off a coat closet at the front entrance of my home. Then I assembled the bench inside the knook for shoes. It is beautiful. I made a cushion to cover it. I absolutely love it! I got a mahogany colored one. I put hooks up on the walls in the knook for coats, etc. I'm so proud of this coat knook with the bench.

Why not ask the manufacturer for specific information about the materials in this product?

If you want a non toxic solution, try using a spray spray bottle with a little dish soap. Worked well for us.

Clove Oil & Citric Acid. You should contact the manufacturer for the MSDS if you want more information about this topic.

All I can say is that I put it on a cedar chest that I stripped of old antiquing. I thoroughly sanded the chest and I did not add any further staining or finish, other than the Craftsmen's product. Being used on raw wood, though, the oil only lasts 6 months--at most--before needing to be oiled again.

Hi James,The label on the product bottle says No Tannic Acid, No Benzyl Benzoate, Non-Staining Formula. It's non-toxic and safely neutralizes household allergens on contact. I hope this helps!

I use Shout Advanced and let it sit on there for hours or overnight. Works well. Yes, it's a chemical... but in this case- I think it's worth it! Got red melted dye candle wax out of a vintage white table cloth!

For any concern regarding these kinds of products consult the Safety Data Sheet (used to be called MSDS). Google "linseed oil MSDS". I see this product is listed as "Not classified as hazardous for health or environment". I've used this as a wood finishing product for years, often with bare hands. It is recommended that you have good ventilation. I do not have the label in front of me but my guess is that it says something like "known to cause cancer in the State of California"... and every product known to man probably fits in this category.

Hello! I don't really know the answer to that. Here is what the tin states: "Daddy Van's is chemical free, and it's perfect for caring for your wooden kitchen cabinetry. Made with unrefined beeswax, carnauba wax, olive oil and pure essential oils, this paste wax nourishes and protects as it cleans, giving fine furniture and cabinetry a rich deep glow." They have a website and I would contact them and ask. It is: www.DaddyVans.com. (no apostrophe in the van's and the D and V are upper case.) I hope this helps! :)

It appears to be beeswax with oil and fragrance. I have used it on a Maple drop leaf table we picked up in a used furniture store. The table looks wonderful! You do need to rub in the polish a good bit or it can be a bit sticky.

Haven't used the wax yet as it has been too hot here to open the house. Plan to use it with in the next 2 weeks so email me after the 16th and I will let you know my experience. I miss the colorized Bruce Floor wax and cleaner also. Linda

Hi Mrs. J,Not sure about what exactly you mean with Zero VOC paint, but the tree is beautiful and the material it's very very sticky. It comes in parts and you put it together. I love it!!!

hi, I like your post. I just want to know more about "vinyl". We just got our huge sectional recovered with "faux leather".. aka vinyl. since the denim slipcover was old and the couch was still great! Also, my husband has allergies... and leather or vinyl is easier to keep clean. but the smell is terrible!! I had done a lot of research on the feel and look.. but never heard a thing about the health concerns or SMELL!!! I am encouraged by your post.. but still nervous it may not be safe.. and also. wondering if this smell will EVER go away?!!

I agree with the others that have responded. This stuff is great and I would not hesitate to use iton your antique bench. It may take a few light coats but it will definitely even out the color.

This really is a question for the manufacturer, but I would recommend sticking to a leather cleaner (such as Weimans) for leather. 303 is made for synthetic materials in marine, automotive, outdoor patio furniture etc applications.

I use this product once a year. The deal with wood counter tops is they need to be sanded and finished about once a year. this is a finish you can eat off of. It does not smell. Urethane stinks and could make you sick. Its called salad bowl finish because you use it to finish wood salad bowls. Non toxic. I recommened. Remember to do yearly maintanence on your counter tops.
