Use and Care Manual

WOOD CARE
The bathroom can be one of the harshest and most unforgiving places for wood furniture. We have
sealed and finished the vanity and backsplash, care and maintenance is imperative. The key point to
remember is that any finish can be taken off. Thus, the use of harsh chemical, abrasive cleaners,
scouring pads and the like can remove the finish leaving your items exposed to the elements.
For dusting, use a soft treated cloth or a feather or a lamb’s wool duster. For further cleaning, you can
use warm water with a mild dish soap. Do not soak the wood but gently wipe using a soft cloth. Once
clean, wipe off any residual moisture with a damp cloth.
After a good cleaning, the best way to protect the finish is to use a good quality soft paste wax. Apply a
think coat as directed on the label. Wait five minutes and buff lightly with a soft (shoe) brush or cloth.
Wait another 30 to 60 minutes and buff/brush again with a bit more vigor. You’ll see a beautiful shine
return to the finish that will last for many months. Wood isn’t hungry! You cannot feed furniture. No
matter what the advertising says, wood cannot be fed or nourished or enriched with polishes or oils.
Once it has a protective finish over it for beauty and protection, the wood is sealed. Polishes and oils
will not penetrate it.
