Furniture Care and Maintenance

Cure First

• For a painted piece, immediate use is permittable, as the paint cures in 24 hours. 
• For stain, allow a total of 21 days for a water-based finish to cure and 30 days for an oil-based finish to cure before cleaning. 
• This time-period allows the finish to fully harden and achieve maximum durability.

Regular Cleaning and Maintenance

• Remove dust with a water-dampened cloth. Dust can build up over time and may scratch or dull finishes if not removed regularly.
• Remove fingerprints, cooking fumes and smoking residue with mild soap and water. These contaminants will not harm the finish, but they accumulate on surfaces and dull the original luster.
• As with all fine furniture finishes, avoid using furniture polish, cleaners or dusting sprays that contain silicone, alcohol, ammonia and anything acidic.
• Clean up water, alcohol and food spills in a timely manner and use placemats and coasters to protect the finish.
• Avoid excessive exposure to direct sunlight, high temperatures or high humidity. These can damage furniture and finishes.
