How
to Take Proper Care
Remove
Dust - Dust buildup
is made of small airborne particles and may scratch
or dull the surface if not removed correctly. Simply
wipe the surface with a cloth dampened with Woodwright
Heirloom Essentials Fine Furniture Polish.
Clean – Fingerprints, cooking fumes, smoking
residue, etc., accumulates on any finished surface.
None of these contaminants will harm the finish,
they should be periodically removed to restore the
finish to it’s original luster. Just wipe the
surface with a cloth dampened with a non-silicone containing
polish like Woodwright Heirloom Essentials Fine Furniture Polish or mild detergent
solution. Avoid the use of ammonia-based products
or silicone oils as they will cause damage to the
finish. Woodwright varnish is durable and resistant to most
household spills. However, spills should be wiped
up promptly to avoid potential problems. Excessive,
prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, high temperatures
and high humidity can cause slight damage to both the finish
and the wood itself. These should be avoided. Following
these simple steps will keep your finished piece
looking like new for many years. |
