Furniture Care Guide
Caring for Your Dining Table
To keep your dining table looking beautiful for years:
- Wipe spills immediately with a soft cloth.
- Use coasters and placemats whenever possible.
- Avoid placing hot cookware directly on the tabletop.
- Clean regularly with a slightly damp cloth.
- Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
Caring for Wood Veneer Surfaces
Many modern dining tables use premium wood veneer surfaces for durability and aesthetics.
To protect the finish:
- Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Do not use steel wool or rough sponges.
- Keep away from excessive moisture.
- Use furniture-safe cleaning products only.
Caring for Solid Wood Furniture
Solid wood furniture naturally expands and contracts with changes in humidity.
For best results:
- Maintain indoor humidity between 35–55%.
- Keep furniture away from direct sunlight.
