GENERAL FURNITURE CARE TIPS
Wood, like any natural material is likely to present variations of grain and texture which will result in
slight color variations or richness in the finish. These differences make each Romina Furniture item as
beautiful and unique as you and your baby are.
To preserve the initial appearance and functionality of your furniture, it is recommended that all furniture
items be used in accordance with their intended design.
Special water-based finishes are used to make this furniture safe for your baby. These finishes may be
more delicate than those used on adult furniture thus requiring careful maintenance.
Constant rubbing or mechanical interaction with sharp/hard objects such as belt buckles, jeans' zippers
or buttons will likely damage the finish on your furniture. When placing or retrieving items onto the furniture,
always set them down and pick them up, do not “slide” them. Items placed onto the horizontal surfaces
must be moved/rotated to prevent discoloration in the finish.
Exposure to extreme variations of environmental conditions such as humidity and temperature can
fect the finish quality due to wood sudden expansion or shrinkage. It is recommended that the room
temperature be maintained in between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit and a relative humidity of 35 – 40 %.
Do not place items which are too hot or too cold directly onto the finished surfaces!
Use caution when using a humidifier or vaporizer. Excessive moisture is harmful to the furniture causing
the finish to peel and the wood to warp.
Wipe up spills promptly. If water or other liquids stay in contact with the furniture for a long period of time,
they can cause the finish to turn white or discolor. Alcohol or solvent containing substances or materials will
permanently damage the finish.
In general, furniture should not be placed in front or too close to air-conditioning outlets, fireplaces,
heaters or humidifiers. Direct sunlight and ultraviolet rays will cause colors to fade, affect the luster and
smoothness of the finish and in most cases may cause hairline cracks in the finish. White finishes will
yellow naturally over time; exposure to direct sunlight will accelerate this natural process. Please note that
all wood essences will darken over time along with the natural aging process which is not considered to be
quality defect.
To clean the furniture, use a damp cloth immediately followed by wiping with a dry cloth. Do not allow
water to stay in contact with the finish as it will damage the finish.
If you need to put your furniture into storage for any period of time, avoid placing it in damp basements or
hot attics. Air flow around and under the furniture should be allowed. Do not place furniture too close to
walls, do not stack anything on it and do not cover it entirely.
When using a vinyl changing pad or similar plastic accessories, make sure to use a fabric felt
underneath. Certain plastics have ingredients that can react with and damage the finish. It is
recommended to rotate the changing pad's position frequently to avoid finish discoloration.
