Wood furniture care

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.
