Use and Care Manual

Use and Care instructions:
Thank you for choosing HDC Furniture!
Wood is a natural material that changes and ages over time. Slight fading and small cracks are
normal in the aging process and are not considered damage. With appropriate care and a stable
environment, the appearance and life of your wooden furniture can be extended with proper
care.
Surface Protection
HDC Furniture is protected with a high quality polyurethane coating. This finish provides a
highly durable barrier to many common elements, however any finish will breakdown from
prolonged exposure or unusual abuse.
Cleaning
Always use a soft, clean cloth duly dampened in “mild water” to dust wood furniture and wipe
according to the direction of the grain. Do not use soap and water direct to clean wood
furniture, as the water will penetrate the surface and cause damage. Never use abrasive
cleaners or household cleaning products on any finished product. In most cases, spills should be
wiped up with a dry soft clean cloth, wipe again with a damp clean cloth. Waxing and
detergents are not required or recommended.
Furniture Care Tips:
Do use table pads with trivets and/or place‐ mats when utensils or dishes are extremely hot.
Do use place‐mats or other protective items when eating or working on furniture surfaces.
Do use protective pads under clocks, telephones, radios, or any object placed on furniture.
Do lift objects carefully; do not drag them over the furniture's surface.
Do regulate humidity levels in your home.
Do not use detergents or chemical cleaners on your furniture as this may damage the finish.
Do not write on thin paper over the surface of the furniture without protective pad or other
protective buffer.
