To care for your furniture, wipe with a soft dry cloth. Microfiber cloths are recommended. To remove fingerprints and other residue, we advise that you use EcoLab's Endust. To reduce residual finish odors when new, lemon-scented Pledge by SC Johnson is recommended. Both Endust and lemon-scented Pledge could be found at local drug stores. We also advise that you spray these cleaning products onto the cloth that you will use to wipe the furniture. It is best not to spray the cleaner directly on the finish. Use coasters to protect the surface from liquids. If your furniture becomes scratched or marred, furniture touchup pencils, which come in a variety of colors, are available in most hardware stores and can be used to repair minor scratches. Avoid placing furniture directly near heat or air-conditioning outlets. Exposure to extreme temperature variations can damage any fine wood furniture, including variations caused by humidifiers, heat vents, and fireplaces.
