Care and Maintenance
Use a soft, clean cloth that will not scratch the surface when dusting.
Use of furniture polishes is not necessary. Should you choose to use polishes, test first in an
inconspicuous area.
Using solvents of any kind on your furniture may damage the finish.
Never use water to clean your furniture as it may cause damage to the finish.
Always use coasters under beverage glasses and flowerpots.
Liquid spills should be removed immediately. Using a soft, clean cloth, blot the spill gently. Avoid
rubbing.
Always use protective pads under hot dishes and plates. Heat can cause chemical changes that may
create spotting within the furniture finish.
Stains or marks from crayons or ink markers will be difficult to remove.
In the event that your furniture is stained or otherwise damaged during use, we recommend that
you call a professional to repair your furniture.
Check bolts/screws periodically and tighten them if necessary.
Further Advice about Wood Furniture Care
It is best to keep your furniture in a climate-controlled environment. Extreme temperature and
humidity changes can cause fading, warping, shrinking and splitting of wood. It is advised to keep
furniture away from direct sunlight as sun may damage the finish.
Proper care and cleaning at home will extend the life of your purchase. Following these important and
helpful tips will enhance your furniture as it ages.
A touch-up pen has been provided to minimize the small nicks or scratches that may occur during
assembly or shipping.
Cleaning Trim for Fireplace
Clean the metal trim using a soft cloth, slightly dampened with citrus oil based product and buff with a
clean soft cloth. DO NOT use brass polish or household cleaners as these products will damage the
metal trim. Citrus oil based products can be obtained at supermarkets or hardware stores.
