Additional Features

• Product Care: Heat in any typical residence may affect wood furniture over time. You may see warping, splitting, buckling, or the delamination of veneers on your piece of furniture. Avoid overexposure by placing your wood furniture as far away from the heat sources as possible. You can clean your wood furniture by dusting it with a soft cloth and moving it in the direction of the grain of the wood. Stains or dirt can be removed with a soft cloth. For oily stains use a cloth and a solution of warm water and natural oil soap. Always blot spills rather than wiping them. Protect the surfaces of your wood furniture by applying felt glides to lamps and other accessories. For hot serving dishes be sure to use protective pads. Synthetic materials may damage the finish of your furniture. Newspaper and magazine print may also damage the surfaces. Avoid allowing these to come in prolonged contact with your furniture's surfaces. Oily polishes, lemon oil or silicone waxes tend to attract dust and grit which can scratch the finish of your furniture. We recommend a furniture cream for standard lacquered wood finishes with an application of once to twice a year. Protect your wood furniture from sunlight by using window coverings and by careful placement of wood furniture within your room. Sunlight will tend to bleach the color of the furniture and may dry the wood furniture causing cracking. Furniture touch-up pencils can be used for minor furniture repair. The colors of these pencils range from light to medium to dark. It makes sense when you need to repair your furniture to start with the lightest tone and progress to darker depending on the best match. Do not blot spilled nail polish remover or perfume from the furniture surface. When either of these liquids has totally evaporated, the lacquer finish on the furniture should return to its normal finish. When the area is dry you may use an automotive polishing compound if you would like. Then apply a fresh coat of furniture polish. Melted wax from candles can be removed by using an ice cube to harden the wax. Blot up any water then use a dull-edged utensil to remove the wax. Avoid touching the wood with the utensil. Carefully scrape away any remaining wax then polish the furniture to replace the protective coating.
