Ipe is a hardwood timber prized for its beauty and long-lasting durability in any environment. Ipe timber exhibits a deep chocolate-brown grain when new that may be allowed to naturally age to an elegant silver patina or brought back to an ‘as new’ finish at any time. Jensen Outdoor’s Ipe furniture comes pre-stained with Penofin® Verde Oil Finish, which protects and conditions the wood to prevent absorption of moisture. You can wash your Ipe wood surfaces with a soft towel and mild dish soap, then rinse clean with water. Once complete, allow to dry. Avoid using harsh cleaners, brushes or power washers, which could damage the finish. The Jensen Outdoor kits are recommended for color restoration and tough stain removal.
