CARE OF SOLID WOOD FURNITURE

• Place your furniture away from radiators, fireplaces, and heating ducts.
• Position furniture out of direct sunlight or adjust blinds to avoid hour after hour of direct sunlight.
• Control humidity to 40%–45%. In winter use a humidifier, in summer use a dehumidifier or air conditioner.
• Use coasters with non-scratching bottoms. Use padding under all sharp, hot, or cold objects.
• Avoid using nail polish remover, alcohol, and other solvents near or on furniture.
• Dust carefully with a soft cloth, following the grain pattern of the wood. Use an old T-shirt, baby diaper or cheesecloth that has been laundered to remove the sizing.

ROUTINE CLEANING AND CARE

• Dust often to remove everyday abrasive particles from wood surfaces.
• Consider cleaning with a mild non-alkaline soap and water. Use the suds in a damp sponge or cloth, but be sure to pre-test the solution on an out-of-sight section to make sure it doesn’t damage the finish. Dry immediately with a soft cloth and buff lightly, following the grain.
• Don't wax or use any polish that contains any silicones! Catalyzed heat and moisture resistant finishes don’t need additional polish, but if you want to use a polish we recommend Parker & Bailey's Furniture Cleaner.
