Maintenance Tips

• Dust frequently with a soft, dry cloth or slightly damp cloth; always dry immediately with the grain.

• Clean monthly using a quality wood cleaner on a soft cloth—never saturate the surface.

• Polish twice a year with non-wax, non-abrasive furniture polish to maintain finish.

• Wipe spills promptly to avoid water damage or stains.

• Avoid scratches by using pads under objects and keeping sharp items away.

• Keep out of direct sunlight to prevent fading or discoloration.

• Maintain indoor humidity between 35–65% to protect the wood from cracking or warping.

• Care for upholstery by vacuuming with a soft brush; spot clean with fabric-safe solvent if needed.

• Avoid harsh cleaners like alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to preserve finish and veneer integrity.
