Care, Maintenance, and Warranty
Care, Maintenance & Warranty for Your Custom Piece
Unless otherwise specified, your piece was finished with our proprietary two-step hand-rubbed oil finish, which protects your piece while allowing the natural beauty of the wood to shine through. The finish is very resilient and will absorb a lot of wear with minimal effect on the appearance of the piece. That said, your piece is natural wood, and care should be taken to preserve the finish and protect the wood. Follow these simple rules to help your piece last a lifetime or more:
•Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Dry well.
•Wipe spills promptly.
•Do not use commercial polishes, sprays, waxes, or harsh chemical cleaners or wipes, especially those containing MEK or alcohol.
•Do not place hot pans, plates, pots, pizza boxes, food cartons, etc. on the surface. Wet/hot cardboard or dishes are a no-no.
•Take care with metal objects like staples, knives, scissors, etc. These will scratch the wood.
•Do not slide rough pottery, dishes, or cardboard boxes across the surface.
•Do not place or leave wet items on the surface.
•If a ring or water spot appears, dry it and leave it alone. It will dissipate in a day or two as the water evaporates out of the oil layer of the finish.
•If you happen to scratch your piece or need to refinish a small section, simply use a little of the Rejuvenator you received. Follow these instructions:
o SHAKE WELL.
o Apply a few drops and rub in with a coarse paper towel or the pad provided.
o Wipe off excess with a soft cloth.
o Allow to dry.
o The spot may appear shinier at first, but it will eventually even out and blend in.
