Use placemats under plates and hot pads under serving dishes and coasters under beverages.
Do not place newspapers or magazines on woods surfaces. The ink from these items may bleed
into the finish and could damage the wood.
Do not use abrasives or harsh chemicals on wood furniture.
Should you scratch your furniture: Touch up crayons and markers are available at local hardware
and home improvement stores in a variety of color packs. These types of crayons and markers
are made especially for furniture and work well touching up most flaws.
How to Spot Clean Wood Furniture:
To remove food stains, wipe up the spill immediately. Polish with a soft, clean cloth.
To remove cloudiness, rub surface with cloth dipped in solution of one tablespoon of vinegar
mixed with one quart of water. Rub in the same direction as the grain until surface is completely
dry. Follow with an application of furniture oil or polish that does not cause a waxy build-up or
has silicones, such as Guardsman or Heritage.
To remove water rings, rub with a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and cooking oil in the
same direction of the grain.
To remove candle wax or chewing gum, hold an ice cube over the wax or gum for a few seconds
so that it will chill and harden. Be sure to wipe up water as the ice melts to prevent water spots.
Remove as much of the wax or gum as possible with your fingers and then scrape away the
remainder gently using the dull edge of a table knife. Rub the spot briskly with a cloth saturated
in cream wax. Repeat if needed.
Glass Furniture
Nothing opens up a room like the beauty and transparency of glass. Of course, you’re so careful
not to break it. But you don’t want to dull it or scratch it, either. A few simple steps can clearly
go a long way.
How to Care for Glass Furniture:
Do not slide rough objects across glass. This can cause permanent scratches to the surface.
Do not use abrasive cleaners on glass, which may cause scratches.
Do not clean glass without gently removing excessive dirt and debris first, so as not to scratch
the surface.
To clean glass, choose a non-abrasive commercial glass cleaner, or use warm water and a soft,
lint-free cloth. Wring out excess water and wipe surface. Dry immediately with a dry lint-free
cloth.
