French Furniture Care
Quality wood
furniture is a significant investment expected to last for generations. To
maintain its beauty and help it last, wood furniture needs the right care.
The
finish protects the wood and adds to its beauty. No finish is totally
indestructible. But with regular care, the finish will last much longer,
providing years of enjoyment to you.
Caring For Fine Furniture
Furniture is a treasured investment, one which you should be proud to own
in years to come. The following are guidelines for caring for your fine
furniture.
Common Sense:
Don't do
anything that will cause the furniture to be damaged. For example, be very
careful when vacuming the carpets not to hit the furniture bases or table
legs. Don't set abrasive items such as cardboard boxes, grocery bags,
ceramic lamps, ashtrays, etc. on a finished surface. Be careful when an
item such as a plate is lifted from the table. A fork falling from a plate
can seriously dent the table top. Hot items, such as a dish just removed
from the oven, can blister or darken the finish. Use a hot pad or a table
pad under the tablecloth to prevent this. Don't wait to wipe up spills or
to clean up after a party.
Correct Environmental Conditions:
Second, correct environmental conditions will add longevity to the life of
fine furniture. When wood furniture is placed in a damp environment, the
various parts will swell slightly; conversely, when placed in a dry
environment, the parts will shrink. Obviously then, very damp or very dry
environments should be avoided. Cyclic changes in temperature, such as
those found in an unheated warehouse (cool at night, warmer during the
day) can cause small cracks to occur in the finish. Hot blasts of air,
such as those from a central heating, should be avoided, because they
cause extreme localized drying of the wood.
Direct sunlight has a bleaching effect on wood and finishes should
be avoided either by placement of the furniture, or by the use of
sunscreens, drapes, or blinds.
To protect and care
for your furniture, we suggest the following:
-
avoid placing
furniture in direct sunlight, heat outlets, air vents and
conditioning units.
-
Avoid placing plastic or rubber materials (lamp
bases, notebooks, placemats, etc.) on your
furniture, as certain plastics contain ingredients
that may damage the finish.
-
Periodically rotate accessories on furniture so
they do not sit in the same spot all the time.
-
Use pads, cloth or felt to protect the furniture
surface from plastic, rubber, hot dishes, beverages,
bookends, flowerpots and vases.
-
Clean up spills
immediately and
Vacum clean the upholstered furniture.
-
Use a protective pad when writing with a
ballpoint pen on the furniture surface.
-
Lift and place objects rather than dragging them
across the furniture surface.
-
Avoid placing furniture directly under windows.
Cleaning and polishing your furniture to avoid dull
looking
We recommend dusting frequently to remove dust
buildup with a clean, soft,
dry, lint-free cloth. Clean the surface by rubbing in
the direction of the grain. We recommend polishing
your furniture approximately every six months, using a
clean, soft, lint-free cloth and rubbing the polish in
the direction of the grain.
