CARING FOR YOUR FURNITURE
Congratulations on buying your piece of Willis & Gambier furniture, you have received a piece
furniture to be proud.
Taking good care of your hardwood furniture ensures its longevity.
General Care
Dust frequently with a cloth that attracts rather than scatters dust.
Dining Tables should be left extended for the first few months to avoid uneven shading.
Any objects on the surface need to be moved regularly to avoid shading. I.e. Lamps etc...
Never leave spillages. Remove them immediately with a blotting action.
For protection against heat, quality tablemats and cloths should always be used. Take care that no area
of the plate or dish overhangs the tablemat.
When writing, a protective mat should be used to protect the surface from marking.
Furniture will endure most temperatures in the modern home. However it should be positioned as far
away from radiators, direct sunlight or other forms of direct heat sources, as possible.
Avoid extremes in humidity. This can cause wood to warp and loosen glues. Keep furniture away from
air conditioning units.
Small tables should not be used for sitting or standing on.
It is always advisable to level furniture when placing it. This will ensure wardrobe doors are level and
removes undue pressures on joints.
Never drag furniture - always lift it.
Metal Handles and Fittings.
Metal polish should not be used as the fittings have their own protective lacquer to prevent tarnishing.
Lacquered wood.
A gentle wipe with a lint free cleaning cloth, in the direction of the grain, is all that is required to
maintain the appearance of the lacquered wood.
