ABINETRY ABLES
To keep hardwood doors, cabinet fronts and hardwood tables looking like new
regularly dust with a soft cloth dampened with a cleaning polish or mild detergent
solution. Avoid using ammonia based products or silicone oils as they may cause
damage if used over a long period of time.
The finish is durable and resistant to most household spills. However, spills should
be wiped up promptly to avoid potential problems. Excessive prolonged exposure
to direct sunlight, high temperatures and high humidity can cause damage to both
the finish and the wood itself. These should be avoided.

OUNTERTOPS
To prevent permanent damage

Always use hot pads or trivets under hot pans, dishes, or heat producing
appliances such as frying pans.

Always use a cutting board; never use a knife on the countertop.

Avoid harsh chemicals such as drain cleaners, oven cleaners, etc.

Do not let cleaners with bleach set on the top. Wipe them off promptly.
Laminate countertops (if so equipped)
Glass rings, food spills, water spots and smudges usually wipe off with a damp
sponge. Stubborn stains can be removed with a general-purpose spray cleaner.
Some stains can be removed by squeezing fresh lemon juice over the stain and
allowing the juice to soak for approximately forty-five minutes. After 45 minutes,
sprinkle baking soda over the lemon juice and rub with a soft cloth.
Solid surface countertops (if so equipped)
Solid surface materials are easy to care for.
cleaners (not window cleaners as they can leave a waxy build up that may dull the
surface) or commercially available solid surface cleaners will remove most dirt and
residue from all types of finishes. A damp cloth followed by a dry towel will remove
watermarks. Disinfect the surface periodically with diluted household bleach (one
part water to one part bleach).
For additional information on the removal of difficult stains or surface damage
repair, refer to the countertop manufacturer's user guide.

LOORING
Always test a cleaning agent in an inconspicuous area for colorfastness.
Carpet (if so equipped)
Vacuum regularly using a vacuum cleaner with a revolving brush or beater bar. Be
sure the vacuum does not have teeth, combs or rough edges as they may damage
the carpet. It is important to remove loose soil and debris while it is on the surface.
Heavily traveled areas (i.e., walkways, areas in front of the furniture) may be
protected with small throw rugs to prolong the life of the carpet.
Some spills contain chemicals that will destroy carpet fibers and dyes. If you have
doubts about what caused the spot, contact a professional carpet cleaner.
Because of the additional dirt typically associated with camping, we recommend
that you vacuum the carpet frequently. Have tough and deep stains professionally
steam cleaned. Use spot removers for minor spills. Always test the carpet for
color fastness in an inconspicuous area before using any product.
