How
to Take Proper Care
Remove Dust - Dust
buildup is made of small airborne particles and may scratch
or dull the surface if not removed correctly. Simply wipe
the surface with a cloth dampened with Woodwright Heirloom Essentials Fine Furniture Polish.
Clean - Fingerprints, cooking fumes, smoking
residue, etc., accumulates on any finished surface. None
of these contaminants will harm the finish, they should be
periodically removed to restore the finish to it’s
original luster. Just wipe the surface with a cloth dampened
with a non-silicone containing polish like Woodwright Heirloom Essentials Fine Furniture Polish
or mild detergent solution. Avoid the use of ammonia-based
products or silicone oils as they will cause damage to the
finish. 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 may cause slight damage to both the finish and the wood
itself. These should be avoided. Following these simple
steps will keep your finished piece looking like new for
many years. |
