Use and Care Manual

All Greenington furniture is made of 100% natural bamboo. It is very hard, dense, and extremely

durable. Like any natural hardwood furniture, maintaining the humidity in a controlled environment is

also very important for bamboo furniture. Keeping the relative humidity in the range of 40 to 55 percent

will greatly reduce the potential for any checking or warping.

Use coasters, trivets, or silicone pads to prevent damage from heat, moisture, or heavy objects. To

prevent staining or water marks use coasters. If cleaning is required, make sure to clean spills

immediately, using a dabbing motion with a soft cloth. Do not put hot plates or pans directly on tables,

use trivets to prevent damage to surfaces.

For periodic cleaning wipe furniture with a clean cloth well wrung out in lukewarm water. If necessary,

add a few drops of liquid detergent per quart of water - followed by wiping with a clean, dry cloth. Do

not use abrasive cleaners such as scouring powders, acidic or caustic ingredients or any other harsh

chemicals.

Avoid placing furniture directly in front of heat vents, wood burning stoves or other heat sources. These

will dry out the furniture.

Never place bamboo furniture in direct sunlight day after day. This will also dry out the furniture will

subject to UV damage.

To avoid scratches, take care to lift objects and never drag or slide them across the surface.

Variations between products may occur, no two pieces will be exactly alike. Variations in grain and color

enrich the natural beauty of bamboo furniture and should be expected as part of the character and

beauty of bamboo.

It’s a fact of life that things tend to get dry in the winter: your skin, your lips, even your furniture. And if

you think your home feels like a dry and cold space during this time of year, chances are your furniture

agrees. Maintaining a 40% humidity level in your home, is good for your skin and good for your

furniture!
