Wood & Wood Veneers
Instructions for All Wood Furniture
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. Use adhesive felt pads, trivets, coasters and placemats to help prevent scratches.
Avoid direct contact with rubber bumpers and candle wax as it may react with the wood's finish and leave a stain.
Wood will expand and contract with seasonal humidity changes. Maintain consistent humidity levels to minimize movement in the wood and prevent warping.
Over time, air and sunlight will change the color of natural wood. Occasionally rotate the items placed on your wood furniture to allow a more uniform color to develop. Expose table leaves to the same amount of air and sunlight as your table.
Care for your wood furniture according to its finish.
Apply Room & Board Wood Cleaner for daily or deep cleaning on all of your interior or exterior wood surfaces. Simply spray and wipe clean with a cloth.
Lacquer, Paint or Stain
Lacquered, painted or stained wood is susceptible to scratches. Use adhesive felt pads, trivets, coasters and placemats to protect your furniture.
Use a slightly damp cloth to clean as needed. Wipe dry.
For persistent spots, gently clean with a soft cloth and a solution of water and mild detergent. Wipe dry.
Do not use cleaning products containing ammonia, alcohol or petroleum.
Avoid furniture polish as it can accumulate over time and leave a residue.
Oil-and-Wax or Oiled
Use a slightly damp cloth to clean as needed. Wipe dry.
Treat your furniture with Room & Board Satin Wax annually, or more often, if the wood seems dry.
Apply Room & Board Satin Wax with a clean, white cloth following the direction of the grain pattern. Take care to treat the exposed end grain of panels. Using another cloth, buff to remove excess wax and achieve a smooth finish.
