● Avoid cleaning products containing substances such as ammonia, methylene chloride, acetone,
turpentine, or other petroleum-based solvents.
● Do not expose the wood to sun or moisture for long periods of time.
● If the wood becomes wet, dry it by dabbing with an absorbent, lint-free cloth.
● Avoid contact with any substance that might dye or discolor the wood.
● Avoid contact with sharp objects or rough surfaces that might scratch the wood.
