Furniture Care & Cleaning Guide

Dusting & Cleaning: Use a soft, clean cloth to dust wood furniture, always wiping in the direction of the grain.
Polish Use: Stick with one type of polish—either oil-based or wax-based. Switching between them can cause a foggy build-up.
- If fogging occurs, mix 1 tbsp of white vinegar with 1 quart of water. Lightly dip a soft cloth, rub gently, and dry thoroughly. Repeat if needed.
Avoid Water & Soap: Do not use soap or excess water—this can damage the wood. Wipe spills immediately with a soft, dry cloth.

What to Avoid:

Do not place hot beverages or dishes directly on wood. Use coasters or protective pads to prevent white heat marks.
Line accessory bases with felt to avoid scratches or chemical reactions (especially from rubber or vinyl).
Keep wood away from direct sunlight and extreme heat sources (like radiators) to prevent drying and damage.

Clean marble the same way as wood: soft cloth, immediate spill cleanup.
Marble is porous—if not sealed, it can stain or discolor.
Temperature Tolerance: Handles hot/cold well but can crack in freezing conditions. Store indoors during winter.
Sealing: Seal at least once a year with a quality marble sealer (available at hardware stores). Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Fabric: Vacuum regularly to keep fibers fresh and dust-free. Professional cleaning is recommended.
Leather: Wipe frequently with a clean, slightly damp cloth. Leather conditioners may be used to maintain softness (always test a small area first).
Avoid: Never use brightening or bleaching products on fabrics or leathers.
