How Durable is Your Finish?

How Durable is Your Finish?


We get asked all the time by our customers, "How durable is your finish?" 
Well, let me start by telling you a short story.

I was cleaning our youngest son's room. While I was dusting his furniture, I removed his lamp from
his night stand and found this beautiful crayon drawing. 
"Ahhhhh!" was my first reaction but then again, I was like, "No worries, 
it's an original Fable Porch Furniture piece that is topped off with
Vermont Natural Coatings."


With a combination of Vermont Natural Coatings PolyWhey® top coat and their Non-Toxic,
plant based wood cleaner, removing the crayon portrait was no sweat! I sprayed a liberal
amount of wood cleaner and two minutes later......




VOILA!

Good-bye Mr. Pumpkin!



After more than a decade in search of earth friendly, solvent free coatings, Vermont Natural Coatings
is hands down THE best product we have ever used. The durability and ease of application has
surpassed our greatest expectations. Our goal, beyond the irreplaceable environment, is to
keep our customers and employees safe from harmful chemicals as well as to use
the durable product available.

So, what makes Vermont Natural Coatings PolyWhey® THE best? 

"By using recycled whey protein we eliminate the need for heavy metal driers and displace both the toxic co-binders and carcinogenic solvents typically found in wood finish.  Whey is a natural byproduct of cheese-making, a traditional strength of Vermont agriculture.  Excess whey can end up on fields and in streams.  To help keep our farms and waterways clear of excess whey, our goal is to reuse as much of this byproduct as possible in durable, safe coatings for your home." 

So, why use Vermont Natural Coatings Non-Toxic Wood Cleaner?

"Vermont Natural Coatings Wood Cleaner removes dust, dirt, grease, grime, food and stains with an innovative non-toxic formulation that keeps your home clean and safe. This biodegradable, vegetable-based cleaner is part of our ongoing agricultural focus—to find better methods for common tasks using the resources we see around us."

Vermont Natural Coatings Non-Toxic wood cleaner is FREE* with purchase of our 
custom, bench-made furniture.
