GENERAL FURNITURE CARE TIPS
· Wood, like any natural material is likely to present variations of grain and texture which will result in
slight color variations or richness in the finish. These differences make each Romina furniture item as
beautiful and unique as you and your baby are.
· To preserve the initial appearance and functionality of your furniture, it is recommended that all furniture
items be usedin accordance with their intended design.
· Special water-based finishes are used to make this furniture safe for your baby. These finishes may be
more delicate than those used on adultfurniture thus requiring careful maintenance.
· Constant rubbing or mechanical interaction with sharp/hard objects such as belt buckles, jeans' zippers
or buttons will likely damage the finishon your furniture. When placing or retrieving itemsonto the furniture,
always set them down and pick them up, do not “slide” them. Items placed onto the horizontal surfaces
must be moved/rotated to prevent discoloration inthe finish.
· Exposure to extreme variations of environmental conditions such as humidity and temperature can
affect the finish quality due to wood sudden expansion or shrinkage. It is recommended that the room
temperature be maintained in between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit and a relative humidity of 35 – 40 %.
Do not place items which are toohot or too cold directly onto thefinished surfaces!
· Use caution when using a humidifier or vaporizer. Excessive moisture is harmful to the furniture causing
the finish to peel and the woodto warp.
· Wipe up spillspromptly. If water or other liquids stay in contactwith the furniture for a long period of time,
they can cause the finish to turnwhite or discolor. Alcohol orsolvent containing substances or materials will
permanently damage the finish.
· In general, furniture should not be placed in front or too close to air-conditioning outlets, fireplaces,
heaters or humidifiers. Direct sunlight and ultraviolet rays will cause colors to fade, affect the luster and
smoothness of the finish and in most cases may cause hairline cracks in the finish. White finishes will
yellow naturally over time; exposure to direct sunlight will accelerate this natural process. Please note that
all wood essences will darken over time along with the natural aging process which is not considered to be
a quality defect.
· To clean the furniture, use a damp cloth immediately followed by wiping with a dry cloth. Do not allow
water to stay in contact with thefinish as it will damage the finish.
· If you need to putyour furniture into storage for any period of time, avoidplacing it in damp basements or
hot attics. Air flow around and under the furniture should be allowed. Do not place furniture too close to
walls, do not stack anything on itand do not cover it entirely.
· When using a vinyl changing pad or similar plastic accessories, make sure to use a fabric felt
underneath. Certain plastics have ingredients that can react with and damage the finish. It is
recommended to rotate the changing pad's positionfrequently to avoid finish discoloration.
