1. Daily Use & Cleaning

  • Always use a table cloth or thick quality cloth on dining tables or surfaces that face heavy daily use.

  • Clean your furniture regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
  • Avoid using rough fabrics or applying excess pressure as this can cause minor scratches.

2. Protection from Heat

  • Do not place burning candles, irons, or hot utensils directly on the wood.

  • Use candle holders, mats, or trivets to protect surfaces.

  • Heat and melted wax can damage the finish and shorten the life of your furniture.

3. Light & Temperature

  • Protect your furniture from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
  • Avoid placing furniture near windows or heat sources.
  • Exposure to sudden temperature variations may cause cracks or warping.

4. Humidity

  • Solid wood is sensitive to humidity changes.
  • Avoid placing items in areas with extreme moisture or dryness.
  • High humidity may cause wood to swell, while low humidity can lead to cracks.

5. Liquids

  • Always use mats and coasters when placing beverages or food.
  • Never place hot items directly on the wood surface.
  • If a liquid spills, wipe immediately with a soft sponge or towel to prevent staining or warping.

6. Chemicals

  • Keep furniture away from harsh chemicals.
  • Do not use polyurethane or synthetic paints as they damage the natural wood finish.
  • Stick to natural oils for maintaining shine and durability.

7. Scratches & Burn Remedy

  • Minor scratches, burns, or residue can be removed using fine-grit sandpaper.
  • After sanding, reapply mineral oil to restore the finish and protection.
