Furniture Care for Solid Timber Furniture
.
- Avoid long exposure to direct sunlight as this may affect the quality lacquer finish
- Avoid extreme temperatures. Keep furniture away from heaters, air conditioning and fireplaces. Intensive heat can cause the timber to distort
- For normal cleaning, wipe surfaces with a ‘damp’ cloth (not wet)
- Protect polished surfaces from crockery, heat and moisture and other objects by using placemats or similar
.
.
- Wipe dry with a soft dry cloth in the direction of the grain, use a microfiber cloth if possible
- Lift objects, do not drag across surfaces, as this may scratch the lacquer finish
- To rejuvenate the finish, use Mirotone Spray Glow (a blend of colourless waxes) to clean, preserve and protect the furniture – you can purchase this from Woodwrights: enquiries@woodwrights.co.nz

- Lift tables to reposition, do not drag them as this can weaken the joints between the leg and supporting rails
- Avoid writing on the polished surfaces as indentations may become evident
- Do not leave liquids on surface as this will cause the lacquer to discolour, lift and fail over time
