Broyhill ESTES PARK DRESSER MIRROR Care Instructions - Manual

Wood comes from nature. There are natural variations in its texture and grain, including knots, mineral streaks,
and sap runs that may affect the appearance of the finish. These variations are not defects; they are distinctions
that make each piece of furniture unique.
Broyhill applies a multi-step finish on all of our wood furniture to enhance the beauty of the wood’s surface. This
finishing process uses lacquer-based products that are subject to damage by moisture, heat, or contact with
alcohol-based and oil-based products. Take care of the multi-step finish Broyhill gives each piece and you’ll
preserve the inherent beauty of your fine furniture.
1. Protect your furniture.
• Never allow water or damp items to sit on your furniture including cleaning cloths, sponges, etc.
• Never allow alcohol-based products including some cleaners, nail polish and perfumes to come in
contact with your wood furniture. They can dissolve the furniture finish on contact, requiring
professional repairs.
• Do not allow plastic, including plastic or rubber placemats or rubberized feet on appliances, to come in
direct contact with your furniture. Chemicals in the plastic may soften and injure the finish if exposed
over a long period of time.
• Avoid placing hot objects on any furniture surface. Always use a protective pad or plate. Laminated
surfaces on tabletops provide added scratch and heat resistance for our furniture, but they can still be
damaged without proper care.
• Avoid direct sunlight, heat outlets, open windows, and dampness. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight
can fade the finish of your furniture, while extreme temperature and humidity changes can cause
cracking or splitting.
2. Dust frequently with a clean, damp lint-free cloth to remove abrasive buildup which can damage the finish
over time.
3. Occasionally polish with a high-quality non-silicone furniture polish every few months to enhance the
beauty of the multi-step finish. Spray the polish onto a clean cotton cloth, apply it to the furniture, and then
buff with a second clean, dry cotton cloth. Note that any polish may make a low sheen finish appear more
glossy. Avoid oily polishes and waxes.
4. Remove sticky accumulations of skin oils to avoid professional repairs. Wipe the area with a clean cotton
cloth dampened with mineral spirits, then buff with a second clean cotton cloth.
5. Touch up small marks and scratches with a marker, scratch remover, or touch-up stick. These can be
purchased at any paint store.
