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. 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. A commercial furniture cleaner is recommended.
