Cleaning & Care

Treatment: Wipe up spills when they occur. Dust with dust cloth, feather duster or soft cloth dampened with water. Polishing or waxing is not required.

DO NOT clean with abrasives, metal scourers, household cleaners, ammonia or solvent-based products.

ALWAYS use non-porous coasters/trivets under hot, cold or wet items left on the top.

ALWAYS use a protective matt when using a laptop or other heat generating device on top of a wood surface. Over time, the heat from these devices can damage the finish and or dry out the underlying wood surface.

If you opt to place a protective layer of glass or similar cover over your desktop, dining table, etc., make sure to place bumpers between the glass and wood surface so condensation does not build up between the two materials.

Use felt under items left on the top for prolonged periods of time; particularly plastic or rubber items, as they are known to bond with furniture finishes.

We discourage any self-help methods to repair scratches, dings or water spots. Always contact us or other professionals before attempting any repair.

Climate Conditions: To maintain the quality of your wood furniture, do not expose it to direct sunlight or excessive temperatures; extreme changes in humidity can cause warping, cracking or joint separation.

Some woods such as cherry, alder and mahogany will patina over time. When applicable, we recommend you rotate them annually, so the piece patinas evenly.

Abnormal humidity, heat or cold in the home or office may cause splits, cracks, or other issues. Ensure you have a 30-50% humidity range in your home or office; 50F-90F.

Solid wood is particularly impacted by heat and humidity fluctuations and will naturally expand and contract which may result in small joint separations or hairline cracks. 

Protect your furniture by avoiding direct contact with air conditioning units or heating vents.
