Care Instructions
Care Instructions for Handbuilt Wooden Furniture
Thank you for choosing our handcrafted wooden furniture! With proper care, your piece will remain beautiful and functional for years to come. Please follow these guidelines to ensure its longevity:
1. Cleaning
- Dust Regularly: Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to dust your furniture weekly. This helps prevent dirt buildup and scratches.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or ammonia-based products. Instead, use a damp cloth with mild soap for deeper cleaning. Always follow up with a dry cloth.
2. Avoid Excessive Moisture
- Wipe Spills Immediately: If liquids are spilled, promptly blot the area with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can damage the finish.
- Use Coasters: Always use coasters or placemats under beverages and hot items to prevent rings and heat damage.
3. Sunlight Exposure
- Limit Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can fade and warp wood. If possible, position your furniture away from direct sunlight or use window treatments to reduce exposure.
4. Temperature and Humidity
- Maintain Stable Conditions: Wood is sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity. Aim to keep your furniture in a climate-controlled environment, ideally between 60-80°F (15-27°C) and at 40-60% humidity.
5. Prevent Scratches and Dents
- Use Furniture Pads: Place felt pads under the legs of heavy furniture and avoid dragging items across surfaces.
- Be Cautious with Sharp Objects: Avoid placing sharp or heavy objects directly on the surface without protection.
6. Regular Maintenance
- Reapply Finish as Needed: Depending on usage, consider reapplying a protective finish (such as furniture oil or wax) every 6-12 months to maintain the wood's appearance and protect it from wear.
7. Avoid Overloading
- Adhere to Weight Limits: Be mindful of the weight limits of shelves, tables, and other furniture pieces to avoid warping or breaking.
8. Inspect for Damage
- Regularly Check for Issues: Periodically inspect your furniture for signs of wear, loose joints, or damage. Addressing small issues early can prevent larger problems later.
