Manor House Pine Solid Wood Dining Table

Features

• Dust lightly using a soft terry cloth with the grain of the wood. To remove minor stains or caked-on dirt, wipe with a soft damp cloth. Oily stains can be removed using a cloth damp with a mixture of warm water and Murphy's soap. Dry the piece thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. To avoid scratch­ing, you should blot, rather than wipe spills. Apply adhesive felt glides to lamps and similar objects before placing them on tables. When serving hot food, always use placemats under the plates and hot pads under the serving containers. Do not set synthetics, rubber, or plastics on the wood finish as they might contain chemicals that will damage the finish. Do not leave newspapers or magazines on wood as the ink can bleed onto the finish and into the wood. Overexposure to sunlight can adversely affect wood finishes, causing cracking and bleaching that are difficult and costly to repair. Solid wood furniture is susceptible to changes in humidity. It contracts in a dry environ­ment and expands in a moist environment. These changes do not affect the structural integrity of the piece and cannot be corrected. Maintaining proper humidity during the winter months is recommended.
