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, buf 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 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 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 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 with wood type. The key to sanding
is using the right sandpaper for the repair that is
needed. Always sand with the grain.
Steel Wool:
Abrasive material composed of long steel
bers of varying degrees of neness that are
matted together. Coarser grades are used to
remove paint and other nishes; the ner grades
for polishing or smoothing a nished surface.
Nail Holes and Small Cracks:
Fill nail holes and small cracks with wood
putty or dough for unstained woods prior to any
sanding. Stained nishes require lling holes
and cracks after the stain has been applied. Putty
should match the stain closely in color.
TIP:
A little sawdust and wood glue can be
used to make putty for end grains.
