TAKING CARE OF YOUR FINE FURNITURE

• Don’t expose furniture to strong sunlight or extreme changes in temperature or moisture it may damage or fade color.

• Arrange your furniture so it is not placed in front of or over heating or air conditioning vents.

• Be careful not to place plastic materials (place mats, lamp bases, notebooks, etc.) on your furniture. Certain plastics have ingredients that may react with and damage the finish.

• Beware of urine spills on furniture as this may cause discoloration.

• Use a felt mat (not plastic) to protect furniture.

• Lift objects from the top surface rather than dragging them across the finish when moving them.

• Use a protective pad when using your furniture as a writing surface (especially when using a ballpoint pen).

• Wipe up spills promptly. Water left over a prolonged period of time will cause white spots in the finish, and alcohol, perfume, after-shave and medicines can cause severe damage to the finish.

• Dust frequently with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. To remove accumulated dust or old furniture wax build-up, use a soft, lint-free cloth which has been dampened in a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Dry thoroughly using a clean, lint-free cloth and then apply furniture polish, wiping it in the direction of the wood grain. We recommend polishes that do NOT contain silicone or wax. Most furniture retailers, home improvement chains, home specialty stores, and some supermarkets offer these products.

• We recommend that furniture be polished every six months.
