GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Dust with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth.

 

To protect surfaces, always use drink coasters and placemats.

 

Wipe up any spills immediately.

 

Use protective pads under hot dishes.

 

Cover the bottoms of all tabletop accessories with felt pads.

Do not expose wood to extreme changes in humidity.

 

Do not place wood or furnishings in direct sunlight.

WOOD MAINTENANCE

Periodically buff a wood table with a lint-free cloth to renew its shine. Use a damp cloth of distilled water or a one-to-one vinegar and distilled water solution to wipe up spills. Buff dry after wiping. Once a year, apply a coat of Danish oil.

All existing furniture that sits on wood floors should get felt pads added before use.

Pro tip: Use hot glue to ensure the pads stay in place.

Keep your hardwood floors looking gorgeous with a product like Bona which doesn’t have an oil that will build up on the floor.
