Cleaning
Dry dust with clean, soft cloth. Clean food and spills promptly with a solution of warm water and mild soap, and wipe dry. Do not use furniture polish or products that contain alcohol, ammonia, petroleum, or silicone.
Sunlight + Humidity
Avoid direct sunlight if possible. Table leaves should be exposed to the same amount of sun as the table. Sun exposure will change the color of natural wood over time. Rarrange tabletop items occasionally to ensure consistent color. Ideal humidity for hardwood furniture is 35- 50%.
Surface Preservation
Use coasters and trivets to keep hot pans and pizza boxes from touching wood surface. Do not place rubber, vinyl, or other synthetic materials directly on wood. They may react with the finish and leave a mark. Use felt pads to protect wood from rough surfaces.
