Your furniture purchase is an investment. Here are a few tips to maximize the lifetime of your furniture with a
minimal amount of effort. Properly caring for your furniture can help ensure that it looks great year after year.
Wood Furniture Maintenance:
- Always dust, wipe, and clean with the grain of
the wood.
- Dust with a soft cloth. Dust will scratch the
furniture surface if not removed properly.
- If a polished surface becomes foggy, rub it with a
cloth dipped in a solution of one tablespoon
vinegar to one quart of water. Rub softly with the
grain until the surface is completely dry.
- Soap and water are not advisable for wood
surfaces. Water can penetrate the finish and raise
the grain on wood, causing damage.
- Remember to change dusting cloths frequently as
dirty cloths may scratch your furniture's surface.
The Enemies of Wood:
- Moisture is wood's worst enemy. Liquid spills
should be gently wiped up immediately. Coasters
should be used under all beverages.
- Do not allow rubber or vinyl materials to lie on
the furniture. Chemicals in rubber may leave a
stain. Put a strip of felt or leather under
accessories that have rubber or vinyl.
- Heat creates a chemical change in the furniture's
finish, which result in a white spot. Use
protective pads under hot dishes, appliances, etc.
- Sunlight's ultraviolet rays can damage the finish
of furniture. Do not place furniture directly
against a heater or radiator and do not place in
the path of hot streams of air from central heating.
This will cause extreme localized drying of the
wood.
