Ink - Remove immediately by wiping with a cloth dampened in rubbing alcohol. Rinse with clean
water.
Chewing Gum- Rub with an ice cube to cool and harden. Gently pull off the bulk of the gum.
Remove remaining gum with rubbing alcohol.
Pencil - Erase as much of the pencil mark as possible. Wipe remaining marks with rubbing alcohol.
Blood, Feces or Urine - Remove these staining substances as quickly as possible. Wash the stained
area with a strong soap. If the stain does not disappear, rinse the soapy area thoroughly with clean
water. Mix a solution of 50% water and 50% household bleach. Clean the stained area with the bleach
solution. Rinse with clean water.
For general cleaning, regularly wipe wood surfaces using a soft cloth lightly dampened with clear
warm water, and thoroughly dry to prevent streaking. For stubborn stains, use a clean cloth dampened
with a solution of mild non-alkaline soap (dishwashing liquid) and water and rinse. Dry thoroughly,
buffing in the direction of the wood grain. Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads or powdered
cleansers. Polishing products used on the solid wood surface depends on individual preference. Always
follow product instructions.
Excessive dampness, dryness, heat, or cold can damage solid wood finishes. Sunlight can change
the color or age the wood. Never allow moisture or spills to stand, always blot dry immediately.
Solvents, alcohol, nail polish and polish removers, as well as harsh cleaners, should not be used on fin-
ished wood surfaces.
Minor damage to solid wood surfaces can be repaired quickly and effectively with a bit of hard
work, some careful attention to details, and most importantly, the right materials. However, any wood
repair or finishing job is best left for a professionally trained individual.
NOTE:
It is important to inform the service technician of any products used for the care and
cleaning in the event of wood repairs.
Sanding and Sandpaper:
The following table is a general guide, but this may vary from wood type to type. The key to sand-
ing is using the right sandpaper for the repair that is needed. Always sand with the grain.
