Dust regularly with a clean, dry cloth in the direction of the grain. Do not use furniture polish, ammonia-based cleaners, or other chemicals. Address spills immediately by wiping with a dry, soft cloth. Use coasters, placemats, and trivets to protect surfaces from wet or hot cups or dishes. Avoid direct contact between sharp objects and the surface to prevent scratching. Keep out of direct sunlight. Always lift and carry, do not drag, when moving furniture.
