Proper cleaning and dusting are essential to preserving the beauty and longevity of your
wood furniture. Dust regularly with a soft, clean cotton cloth to prevent buildup of
airborne particles, which can create a filmy layer and cause micro-scratches. Avoid
using dry cloths, as rubbing dust into the surface may result in fine abrasions.
Keep wood furniture out of direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can damage
the finish and bleach the wood. If sunlight exposure is unavoidable, use curtains,
drapes, or blinds to limit direct contact during the day.
Always use coasters, placemats, or heat-resistant pads when placing hot or moist items
on wood surfaces. Liquids and heat can leave white rings, stains, or permanently
damage the finish. Avoid placing items such as alcohol, nail polish remover, or other
harsh solvents on or near your wood furniture, as they may cause discoloration or
surface damage.
Do not drag wood furniture. Always lift when moving to avoid damaging the legs or
scratching the floor. Keep sharp or pointed objects away to prevent scratches. For
outdoor wood furniture, provide shade or cover during intense sun or rain to prolong its
life.
Avoid excessive use of water when cleaning. Moisture can stain, swell, or warp the
wood. Maintain stable indoor humidity levels to minimize seasonal expansion or
contraction. Use only cleaning products recommended by your furniture dealer—harsh
chemicals may cause discoloration or uneven patches
