Address spills immediately by wiping with a dry, soft cloth. Use coasters, trivets, and placemats for protection against hot or wet items. Dust regularly with a soft, damp cloth, followed by a dry one. Spot clean as needed with a soft cloth and mild soap. Do not use furniture polish, ammonia-based cleaners, or other chemicals as they will leave a wax buildup and will change the appearance of the wood over time. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, chemical solvents, strong detergents, furniture polish and cleaners with bleach. Avoid lengthy exposure to direct sunlight as it may cause finish to change. Always lift and carry, do not drag when moving furniture.
