General Care

We recommend dusting furniture regularly with a microfiber cloth (or a lint-free cloth). This helps remove abrasive buildup that can damage a finish over time.

Every few months or once a year we recommend using a quality wood furniture polish to enhance the finish and keep your furniture looking new. A light application can go a long way. -- see our Beeswax.

Here are a few other tips:

• Do not use chemical cleaners. Instead use warm water and mild soap.

• Avoid placing your wood furniture in direct sunlight, near heating or cooling sources, or in extremely dry or damp areas. Long exposure to light can cause finishes to fade and extreme temperature or humidity changes can cause the wood to crack or split.

• Use placemats and coasters for hot objects such as pots and cups.

I've noticed slight movement on my wood table top, is this normal?

Wood is a natural material and although all of our wood products are kiln-dried the variation of climate in ones home can cause normal movement in wood planks. Keep an eye on this movement between seasons as we often see that wooden planks can shift in colder months and re-contract as the temperature gets warmer. The use of a touch up pen where movement has occurred is often all that is needed while you wait for re-contraction of your unique and natural table top.

If however your table is near a cooling or heating source, you should change its location to avoid further movement.

How do I clean stains and/or grease spots?

To remove grease spots, use a mild non-acidic water-based detergent or liquid soap and wipe the surface with a soft damp cloth. To avoid any possible discoloration, we recommend spot testing in an unnoticeable surface before application. It is important to know that applications and results will vary
