Cure First
You have just finished applying a fine furniture finish. Treat gently until the
paint or topcoat have fully cured. Allow 21 days for a water-based finish to
cure and 30 days for an oil-based finish to cure before cleaning.
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. Exception: We have successfully cleaned with Clorox wipes.
• Clean up water, alcohol and food spills in a timely manner and use
placemats & coasters to protect the finish.
• Future finishes or touch-ups may not adhere properly or perform as
desired over a contaminated surface. Some contaminants, such as
silicone, seep through finish into the wood and often cannot be
removed.
• Avoid excessive exposure to direct sunlight, high temperatures or high
humidity. These can damage furniture and finishes.
