Stain Removal Procedures for Specifi c Stain Types:
Normal Dirt - Remove normal dirt using a mild soap or detergent and warm water. Allow it to soak for a
few minutes then rub briskly with a cloth or sponge.
Nail Polish, Shellac or Lacquer - Remove liquid using a dry cloth. Use care not to spread the stain.
Quickly clean the remaining stain with rubbing alcohol. Rinse with clean water.
Ink - Remove immediately by wiping with a cloth dampened in rubbing alcohol. Rinse with clean water.
Chewing Gum- Rub with an ice cube to cool and harden. Gently pull off the bulk of the gum. Remove
remaining gum with rubbing alcohol.
Pencil - Erase as much of the pencil mark as possible. Wipe remaining marks with rubbing alcohol.
Blood, Feces or Urine - Remove these staining substances as quickly as possible. Wash the stained area
with a strong soap. If the stain does not disappear, rinse the soapy area thoroughly with clean water. Mix a
solution of 50% water and 50% household bleach. Clean the stained area with the bleach solution. Rinse
with clean water.
WOOD CARE
For general cleaning, regularly wipe wood surfaces using a soft cloth lightly dampened with clear warm
water, and thoroughly dry to prevent streaking. For stubborn stains, use a clean cloth dampened with a solution of
mild non-alkaline soap (dishwashing liquid) and water and rinse. Dry thoroughly, buffi ng in the direction of the
wood grain. Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads or powdered cleansers. Polishing products used on the
solid wood surface depends on individual preference. Always follow product instructions.
Excessive dampness, dryness, heat, or cold can damage solid wood fi nishes. Sunlight can change the color or
age the wood. Never allow moisture or spills to stand, always blot dry immediately. Solvents, alcohol, nail polish
and polish removers, as well as harsh cleaners, should not be used on fi nished wood surfaces.
Minor damage to solid wood surfaces can be repaired quickly and effectively with a bit of hard work, some
careful attention to details, and most importantly, the right materials. However, any wood repair or fi nishing job is
best left for a professionally trained individual.
NOTE:
It is important to inform the service technician of any products used for the care and
cleaning in the event of wood repairs.
Sanding and Sandpaper:
The following table is a general guide, but this may vary from wood type to type. The key to sanding is using
the right sandpaper for the repair that is needed. Always sand with the grain.
