How to Keep Your Wood Clean

Regular cleaning is essential to keep your handcrafted wood products at their best. Daily cleaning can prevent the build-up of dirt and stains, and will keep your wood looking beautiful, longer. It also keeps you from having to spend a really long time cleaning or damaging the wood with harsh cleaners. Here are a few tips for how to keep you wooden furniture clean with daily cleaning.

• Be sure to dust your furniture daily because gritty dust can scratch wood surfaces. You can use either a feather duster or a cloth. Dusting everyday keeps grime from building up on your furniture.
• Clean up spills right away to avoid stains.
• After cleaning, be sure to wipe up any excess water or cleaner with a soft, dry cloth because standing water can cause your furniture to warp.
