ABOUT WOOD FURNITURE

Each piece of wood reveals different patterns of grain depending 
on the way it is cut. This is one of the characteristics of the 
natural beauty of the wood. All timber and veneer surfaces will 
change colour and mellow over time, which means that new 
furniture will initially vary in shade from older items.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR WOOD FURNITURE

•  Dust with a clean, damp, lint free cloth. Frequent dusting 

will remove abrasive build up, which can damage the finish 
over time.   

•  Avoid exposing your furniture to any liquids. All liquids should 

be wiped up immediately with a soft slightly damp cloth in the 
direction of the wood grain. If sticky liquid residues do occur, 
they may be removed with a diluted solution of warm soapy 
water followed by a clean, damp sponge. The area should then 
be wiped immediately in the direction of the wood grain with 
a clean, soft white cloth until completely dry. 

•  Do not use a very wet cloth or allow any liquid to contact with 

the wood for a long period of time as this can permanently 
damage the surface. Wipe up spills immediately. 

•  Do not use any abrasive cleaner or harsh detergent as this can 

damage the surface of the furniture. Wipe up spills immediately.

 •  Polishes must be avoided as they contain silicones which may 

spoil the furniture’s surface when building up over time.

•  Make sure all surfaces are protected from heat and liquids by 

mats and coasters. 

•  Ensure that a mat or pad is placed under paper when you are 

writing on the furniture surface. 

•  Do not place rubber, cork, vinyl or plastic materials on the 

wood finish as chemicals within may react with the finish if 
left in contact for an extended period of time.

•  Avoid placing furniture next to heat sources such as radiators 

or fires. Be particularly careful with solid wood as the lack of 
humidity caused by home heating can cause damage such as 
warping, cracking or splitting.

•  Exposure to sunlight can cause fading of your furniture. Never 

leave objects in the same place for a long time as this may 
cause light stain impressions.

•  Nail polish remover, hairspray, perfume, potpourri and any 

other product that contains solvents can damage wood finishes.
