Moisture and heat can damage any wood finish.
Protect your furniture by using coasters and trivets.
Always wipe up moisture promptly and dry with a soft cloth.
Avoid dragging sharp or rough objects across the surface of your wood furniture.
Dust with a soft, dry untreated cloth.
Maintain consistent humidity levels to minmize seasonal expansion and contraction of wood and prevent warping.
Over time air and sunlight with change the colour of natural wood. Occasionally rotate the items placed on your wood furniture to allow a more uniform colour to develop.
