FURNITURE CARE GUIDE

FURNITURE CARE GUIDE

We recommend always using a protective pad when writing with a ballpoint pen on the furniture surface. Table pads provide the most protection during regular and heavy use of your table.

When using dining tables, tablecloths, runners and placemats will help to protect the furniture finish from dishes and silverware, and coasters will help protect your furniture from moisture.

To protect your furniture from scratches, use small felt pads on the bottom of lamps, vases and other accessories you wish to use to decorate your table tops.

Always lift items from a tabletop, avoid sliding items across a table top as this can abrade and scratch the finish and in extreme cases, the wood surface below.

Avoid using household solvent-based products such as fingernail polish and polish removers around an unprotected finish.

Spilled liquids should be wiped from the surface immediately with a soft, slightly damp cloth, in the direction of the wood grain. Liquids damage furniture if not removed promptly because they draw into the wood.

Remove household dust regularly with a soft, clean cloth, dusting with the grain. It is recommended that the cloth be very slightly dampened with our furniture polishing glaze.

Extensively polish your furniture every 4-6 months. For flat surfaces, simply apply a small amount of our furniture polishing glaze to a soft piece of cloth and rub vigorously onto the flat wood surface pushing with the grain until a soft sheen appears. Wipe off remaining residue. This glaze may also remove minor surface hairline scratches.

For carved areas, we recommend using our Natural Bees Wax. Rub on a very light coat of wax with a soft cloth, then buff at once with soft cloth, turning often. Make sure all wax is completely buffed until hard to avoid smears and streaks. An occasional re-buffing will renew the soft gloss. Paste wax helps cover small cracks and checks in old finishes, and can easily be removed with solvent when desired.

Avoid dry dusting, as it could cause microscopic scratches on your furniture surface. Even dust will scratch the furniture surface if not removed properly. Remember to change dusting cloths frequently.

Your Furniture is made of both solid mahogany wood and veneers. Wood is a natural material which, even though it is Kiln dried to the correct levels, will still minutely expand and contract with the seasons. This is normal but to minimise this even more, your furniture should not be exposed to extreme heat or humid conditions, such as placing it near a heat outlet or air conditioning vents, or even very close to a window during winter time. High humidity and extreme hot and cold conditions do cause wood to swell. Low humidity causes wood to lose moisture and shrink. Keeping conditions in your room as constant as possible will help prevent this.

We recommend placing your furniture away from windows or from direct sunlight. This will help to protect your furniture from the damaging UV rays which can gradually bleach out its color. Using sun screens or tinting your windows is another consideration and sometimes even recommended to help protect your fine furniture from UV damage.

Please do not place plastic, rubber or hot objects directly on your furniture for long periods of time. Chemicals in plastic and some rubber may soften or discolor the finish if left in contact with the furniture.

Do not use spray waxes and polishes on surfaces as they will leave silicone residue which may make future refinishing more difficult. Be sure to use the same type of polish consistently. Your furniture will appear cloudy or streaky if oil-based and wax-based polishes are interchanged.

Over time, scratches from normal use may be noticed on furniture. These can be touched up with a scratch remover or special furniture touch-up pens.
