Care and Maintenance
A Touch-up Pen has been provided to repair any small nicks or scratches that may occur during assembly or shipping.
To clean and care for your furniture:
□ Use a soft, clean cloth that will not scratch the surface when dusting.
□ Use of furniture polishes is not necessary. Should you choose to use polishes, test first in an inconspicuous area.
□ Using solvents of any kind on your furniture may damage the finish.
□ Never use water to clean your furniture as it may cause damage to the finish.
□ Always use coasters under beverage glasses and flowerpots.
□ Liquid spills should be removed immediately. Using a soft clean cloth, blot the spill gently. Avoid rubbing.
□ Always use protective pads under hot dishes and plates. Heat can cause chemical changes that may create
spotting within the furniture finish.
□ Stains or marks from crayons or ink markers will be difficult to remove.
□ In the event that your furniture is stained or otherwise damaged during use, we recommend that you call a
professional to repair your furniture.
□ Check bolts/screws periodically and tighten them if necessary.
CARING FOR WOOD FURNITURE
It is best to keep your furniture in a climate-controlled environment. Extreme temperature and humidity changes can
cause fading, warping, shrinking and splitting of wood. It is advised to keep furniture away from direct sunlight as sun may
damage the finish.
Proper care and cleaning at home will extend the life of your purchase. Following these important and helpful tips will
enhance your furniture as it ages.
CLEANING THE FIREPLACE TRIM
Clean the metal trim using a soft cloth, slightly dampened with citrus oil based product and buff with a clean soft cloth. DO
NOT use brass polish or household cleaners as these products will damage the metal trim. Citrus oil based products can
be obtained at supermarkets or hardware stores.
