Care of Clock’s Wood Finish
BilliB
Clock’s beautiful hand-polished finish
will last f
or generations. Regular dusting with
a soft, lint-free cloth such as cotton, flannel,
terrycloth or cheesecloth will help maintain
the wood’s or iginal luster. Using a slightly
dampened cloth will cut d
ow
n on f
ri
ction,
avoid scratches, and help reduce static
electricity that attracts and holds dust.
The beauty of the cloc
k case can be maintained
by periodically using a self-cleaning furniture
polish. Soap and
wa
ter is not a thorough
cleaner f or w ood products . Self-cleaning
furniture polishes contain both
wa
x and
solvents which maintain luster and provide
adequate cleaning under most circumstances.
If a more thorough cleaning is neces
sar
y, use
odo
u
rless mineral spirits.
Always protect your
BilliB
Cloc
k from conditions
of e xcessive heat, cold, dampness , and
strong sunlight.
In the event of small mar
k
s or scratches, use
a touch-up stick or scratch remover, available
from most paint stores.

yo
ur
BilliB
Clo
ck

gloves or a soft cloth. Dust with a fine, soft,
clean cloth.
