Wood Care

Caring for Wood Pieces

General Care

Dust Regularly: Use a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster to remove dust from your woodwork items regularly.

Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the wood to fade or crack. Place your items in shaded areas.


Cleaning

Gentle Cleaning: Wipe the wood with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage the wood’s finish.

Dry Thoroughly: After cleaning, ensure the wood is thoroughly dried with a soft cloth to prevent moisture damage.


Maintenance

Polishing: Periodically polish your woodwork with a high-quality wood polish or beeswax to maintain its luster. Follow the product instructions for best results.

Repair Scratches: For minor scratches, use a wood touch-up marker or a matching color crayon to fill in the scratch. Buff with a soft cloth.


Usage Tips

Use Coasters and Mats: Protect the wood from heat, moisture, and stains by using coasters and mats under hot or wet items.

Avoid Excessive Weight: Do not place heavy objects on delicate woodwork to prevent warping or damage.
