How to keep your wood furniture looking great!

Every tree is different so every piece of wood furniture will be different. Between the colour of the species of wood, the grain of the individual tree and the variance in stain colours every piece of wood furniture is a unique piece of art… and should be cared for as such! Here are a few tips to help keep your beautiful wood furniture looking exceptional for years to come:

Always use a soft cloth to clean surfaces as paper towel can create small scratches
Use lukewarm water only, other cleaners are too harsh and can leave stains or create imperfections
Wipe with the grain of the wood, not against the grain
Use coasters
Do not slide objects across surface, lift objects to move them
If there is a spill, immediately blot the spill – moisture can quickly damage the surface
Extreme heat, cold or humidity can damage the character of the wood
Keep the surfaces dusted to avoid build-up of dust and/or small particles that can leave scratches
