Keeping Your Furniture Beauful
Quality furniture is a significant investment expected to last for generaons. To maintain its beauty and
help it last, furniture needs the right care. No finish is totally indestrucble. But with regular care, the
finish will last much longer, providing years of enjoyment to you.
Tips to Protect and Care for Your Furniture
1. Avoid placing your furniture in direct sunlight, as sunlight causes fading.
2. Avoid extreme changes in temperature by arranging furniture away from radiators, heat and air
vents and air condioning units.
3. Avoid placing plasc or rubber materials (lamp bases, notebooks, placemats, etc.) on your furniture,
as certain plascs contain ingredients that may damage the finish.
4. Periodically rotate accessories on furniture so they do not sit in the same spot all the me.
5. Use pads, cloth or felt to protect the furniture surface from plasc, rubber, hot dishes, beverages,
bookends, flowerpots and vases.
6. Clean up spills immediately. Use a blong rather than a wiping acon. Water le over a long period
of me will cause white spots in the finish. Alcohol, perfume, aer-shave and medicaons can cause
severe finish damage.
7. Use a protecve pad whe
n wring on the furniture surface.
8. Li and place objects rather than dragging them across the furniture surface.
9. Avoid placing furniture directly under windows.
Wood Furniture Care:We recommend dusng frequently with a clean, so, dry, lint-free cloth. Clean
the surface by rubbing in the direcon of the grain. We recommend polishing your furniture
approximately every six months, using a clean, so, lint-free cloth and rubbing the polish in the
direcon of the grain. Guardsman furniture polish or any furniture polish that doesn't contain silicone
is recommended.
Leather Furniture Care: Wipe spills immediately with clean cloth or sponge. For spots or stains and
daily cleaning, clean with mild non-detergent soap. Rinse well, gently wipe off, and allow to air dry.
Cleaning Buer, Oil or Grease from Leather:
Wipe leather with a clean cloth, and leave alone. The oil
will be absorbed by the leather. DO NOT APPLY WATER. Also, do not use saddle soap, cleaning solvents,
furniture polish, oils, varnish, abrasive cleaners, ammonia or any other type of chemical soluon.
Granite Care: Our granite is not sealed, so you may want to apply an over-the-counter sealant, which
will provide a small amount of surface protecon, but we sll recommend cleaning spills promptly. Use
a slightly damp cloth to clean as needed. Wipe dry. We also do not recommend using abrasive cleaners,
chemical solvents, strong detergents, cleaners with bleach, and
