WOOD

• Moisture and heat can damage any wood finish. Protect your furniture by using coasters and trivets. Always wipe up moisture promptly and dry with a soft cloth.

• Avoid dragging sharp or rough objects across the surface of your wood furniture. Use adhesive felt pads, trivets, coasters and placemats to help prevent scratches.

• Avoid direct contact with rubber bumpers and candle wax as it may react with the wood's finish and leave a stain.

• Wood will expand and contract with seasonal humidity changes. Maintain consistent humidity levels to minimize movement in the wood and prevent warping.

• Over time, air and sunlight will change the color of natural wood. Occasionally rotate the items placed on your wood furniture to allow a more uniform color to develop. Expose table leaves to the same amount of air and sunlight as your table.

• Apply wood cleaner ( ex: Murphy Oil Soap) for daily or deep cleaning on all of your interior or exterior wood surfaces. Simply spray and wipe clean with a cloth.

• Lacquered, painted or stained wood is susceptible to scratches. Use adhesive felt pads, trivets, coasters and placemats to protect your furniture.

• Use a slightly damp cloth to clean as needed. Wipe dry.

• For persistent spots, gently clean with a soft cloth and a solution of water and mild detergent. Wipe dry.

• Do not use cleaning products containing ammonia, alcohol or petroleum.

• Avoid furniture polish as it can accumulate over time and leave a residue.
