FURNITURE CARE
Simple care guidelines to help protect your refinished furniture and keep it looking its best for years to come.
GENERAL CARE
Your furniture has been carefully refinished and sealed to protect the surface for everyday use.
Clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners, furniture polish, harsh chemicals or excessive water.
Use coasters, placemats and heat-resistant mats to protect surfaces from moisture, heat and spills. Wipe up any spills promptly and avoid placing hot items directly onto the furniture.
Keep furniture away from prolonged direct sunlight, heaters and excessive moisture or humidity, as natural timber can respond to changes in its environment.
Newly refinished surfaces continue to cure after leaving our workshop. For the first few weeks, take extra care with the surface and avoid leaving heavy or decorative objects in the same position for extended periods.
DRAWER CARE
Solid timber naturally responds to changes in temperature and humidity, which can occasionally cause drawers to feel tighter than usual.
For timber drawers without metal runners, a small amount of candle wax can be applied to the drawer runners and contact points to help them glide smoothly.
If a drawer becomes tight during humid weather, remove it where possible and allow it to sit in a warm, dry room before placing it back into the furniture.
Drawers fitted with metal runners generally require very little maintenance. Keep the runners clean and free from dust or debris, and avoid overloading drawers.
PAINTED & REFINISHED SURFACES
Each piece is individually refinished by hand, so slight variations and characteristics in the original timber are a natural part of the finished piece.
Although our painted and refinished surfaces are sealed for protection, they should still be treated with care. Avoid dragging objects across surfaces and use protective pads beneath lamps, décor and other items that may scratch or mark the finish.
Small knocks and signs of everyday use can occur over time. Taking a little extra care will help preserve the finish and keep your furniture looking its best.
