Care for Wood and Upholstery
- Avoid exposure to strong sunlight. This may cause discolouration.
- When protecting the tops with glass, do not use felt dots, plastic dots, or cork under the glass.
- Lift objects, do not drag them.
- Avoid exposure to extreme heat or cold. Table pads are advisable. Trivets and placements are useful, but will not prevent blushing if utensils are extremely hot. Should a blush occur, use a good quality furniture polish. Rub with a soft cloth in the direction of the wood's grain . 4-0 steel wool can be used on extreme cases. This process is successful in removing recent water rings.
-
Do not use nail polish remover, hair spray or perfume, most of which contain alcohol, near the furniture.
-
Be cautious about placing rubber or plastic products on the furniture since a chemical reaction may cause a deterioration of the finish. Avoid vinyl tablecloths. Use protective pads under telephones, clocks, or radios.
- Do not use products containing silicone.
- Apply a good quality furniture cleaner / polish two or three times a year. It provides a low gloss eggshell sheen. For a high gloss sheen we recommend a good quality cream polish such as Guardsman. Never pour any polish directly on the furniture
- Never place heavy objects or table pads on freshly polished surfaces.
- Touch-up pens and wax sticks are available at most furniture refinishing shops. (In case of severe damage contact us for advice.)
For general upholstery care:
- Avoid exposure to strong sunlight which may cause fading.
- Turn cushions frequently to minimize wear.
