CARE TIPS
LISTED BELOW ARE SOME TIPS TO HELP KEEP YOUR
FURNITURE LOOKING NEW.
To preserve the finish on stained or pure white
furniture it is highly recommended that they either be
placed indoors or in a protected environment such as
a covered porch. In any case the finish will last
longer and look better if kept out of direct sunlight
and blowing rain. The finish on this furniture will last
for a lifetime if used indoors. This furniture is not
intended to be used in an unprotected environment.
The sun and rain will weather the varnish finish if
left out in the elements over time (6 months to one
year depending on the climate). Our furniture
products need the same attention as any other solid
wood furniture and monthly cleaning with any
quality household furniture polish will keep your
furniture looking new for many years to come. If
your climate has high humidity, even if you follow the
recommended cleaning intervals above, you may have
problems with mold or mildew. To remove the mold
and mildew dilute one ounce of bleach into sixteen
ounces of water and apply with a soft cloth. More
than one application may be necessary. Allow to dry
and apply furniture polish to protect the finish.
