Dust the mantel periodically as you would with any piece of furniture.
Using a soft cloth and a wood cleaner, wipe the mantel clean in the direction of the grain to minimize the
appearance of scratches and scuffs in the finish.
Do not use water to clean mantel. Water may cause swelling, warping or stains if allowed to penetrate the
finish of the mantel. Use protective pads or cloths whenever possible.
Avoid placing mantel in rooms with lots of humidity or where humidity could be a problem. This may cause
warping to the mantel.
