Use and Care Manual

Wood Furniture Maintenance:

 Always dust, wipe and clean with the grain of the wood.

 Dust with a soft cloth. Dust will scratch the furniture surface if not removed properly.

 Use the same type of polish consistently as interchanging oil-based and wax-based polishes will

cause a build-up and result in a foggy or cloudy appearance. If a polished surface becomes

foggy, rub it with a cloth dipped in a solution of one tablespoon vinegar to one quart of water.

Rub softly with the grain until the surface is completely dry.

 Soap and water are not advisable for wood surfaces. Water can penetrate the finish and raise

the grain on wood, causing damage.

 Remember to change dusting cloths frequently as dirty cloths may scratch your furniture’s

surface.

The Enemies of Wood:

 Moisture is wood’s worst enemy. Liquid spills should be gently wiped up immediately. Coasters

should be used under all beverages.

 Do not allow rubber or vinyl materials to sit on the furniture.

 Chemicals in rubber may leave a stain. Put a strip of felt or leather under accessories that have

rubber or vinyl

 Heat creates a chemical change in the furniture’s finish, which results in a white spot. Use

protective pads under hot dishes, appliances, etc.

 Sunlight’s ultraviolet rays can damage the finish of furniture.

 Do not place furniture directly against a heater or radiator and do not place in the path of hot

streams of air from central heating. This will cause extreme localized drying of the wood.

High Gloss Resin Table Maintenance:

 Resin tabletops have approximately 1/8″ of a resin coat on the top face of the table, which will

resist ice, water, wine, liquor, food, cleaning fluids, and warm or hot liquids; however, cups,

glasses, etc. containing hot liquids should not be left on the table without a coaster for

protection.

 Resin tabletops will scratch just the same as any other glossy surface and basic precautions

should be taken.

For lasting shine, the resin table should be waxed with a car wax that does not contain silicon.

Maintaining this wax build-up will result in a high gloss shine.

 When wiping down the table, a soft, clean rag should be used. Do not use a heavy paper.

 Marble may be stone, but it is porous stone and can stain easily. Treating marble surfaces the same as wood surfaces is a great rule of thumb.  It is recommended to seal the tops on a regular basis (every 6 to 12 months). A good quality stone sealer can be purchased from any tiles/stone store or any homecare store and should be applied according to the manufacturer’s recommendation.
