Care & Maintenance Guide
Wood Products
To clean, simply use a so cloth moistened in lukewarm soap & water then buff with a
dry, clean cloth.
• NEVER use glass cleaners on finished furniture, ammonia will chemically attack
the lacquer.
• NEVER allow liquids of any kind to remain in decorative route lines; absorption
causes wood to warp and finishes to de-laminate.
• Prevent marking by not writing directly on the surface.
• Prevent fading by not placing the item in direct sunlight.
• Prevent discoloring by using cloth placemats rather than rubber-based ones.
• Prevent yellowing by not using commercial waxes and polishes.
• Prevent damage to the finish by not placing hot metals, such as pots or kettles,
on the surface.
• Prevent splitting by maintain even humidity conditions in your home.
Natural Stone Products
Generally, the best care for natural stone is to keep it clean & buffed. Especially around
faucets, wiping off the water will prevent a mineral buildup (a whitish, dull residue on the
stone).
• For cleaning marble, always use a pH neutral cleaner. Any acid cleaner will damage
the stone.
• Acid does not harm granite, but oil will soak in, leaving a darker area. Wipe up oils,
spills, and splatters immediately, using a mild household cleaner. Rinse and buff dry.
• We recommend using a resin-based penetrating sealer to reseal the stone. All natural
stone is porous & needs to be sealed periodically to prevent staining liquids from
penetrating. Sprinkle a few drops of water on the surface, if they bead up then the
sealer is adequate. If they quickly soak in, it is time to reseal the stone.
Quartz Products

• To avoid heat damage, do not place hot materials directly on the
countertop.
