New Furniture Care Tips

To protect your new furniture, we suggest the following:

* Do not place your furniture in direct sunlight and/or a damp area.

* Arrange your furniture so it is not placed in front of or over heating or air conditioning vents.

* Avoid placing furniture directly under windows.

* Be careful not to place plastic materials (place mats, lamp bases, notebooks, etc.) on your furniture. Certain plastics have ingredients that may react with and damage the finish.

* Occasionally rotate accessories so they do not remain in the same spot for extended periods.

clean furniture* Avoid creating marks on your furniture by placing a piece of felt, cloth or leather under accessories.

* Lift objects from the top surface rather than dragging them across the finish when moving them.

* Use a protective pad when using your furniture as a writing surface (especially when using a ballpoint pen).

* Wipe up spills promptly. Water left over a prolonged period of time will cause white spots in the finish, and alcohol, perfume, after-shave and medicines can cause severe damage to the finish.

* Dust frequently with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. To remove accumulated dust or old furniture wax build-up, use a soft, lint-free cloth which has been dampened in a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Dry thoroughly using a clean, lint-free cloth and then apply furniture polish, wiping it in the direction of the wood grain.

* We recommend that furniture be polished every six months.
