Moisture and heat can damage any wood finish.
Always wipe up moisture promptly and dry with a soft cloth. Use coasters or trivets when placing items such as cups on the surface.
Avoid dragging sharp or rough objects across the surface of your wood furniture.
Dust with a soft, dry, untreated cloth.
Furniture will endure most temperatures in the modern home.
However, it should be positioned as far away from radiators or other direct heat sources where possible.
Tables should not be used for sitting or standing on.
Over time, air and sunlight will change the colour of the natural wood.
Occasionally rotate the items placed on your wood furniture to allow a more uniform colour to develop.
