Care & Maintenance Guide

Preserve the timeless beauty and durability of your solid wood furniture with these expert care tips. With mindful attention, your Driftingwood pieces will remain cherished heirlooms for generations.

Daily Care Essentials

Protect Surfaces
  • Use tablecloths, placemats, or felt pads under dishes, decor, or electronics to prevent scratches.
  • For dining tables, opt for thick fabric or heat-resistant pads to shield against spills and heat.
Gentle Cleaning
  • Dust weekly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth.
  • For deeper cleaning, lightly dampen a cloth with water or a wood-safe cleaner (avoid harsh chemicals). Wipe gently and dry immediately.

Environmental Protection

Avoid Direct Sunlight & Heat
  • Prolonged sun exposure can fade finishes. Position furniture away from windows or use curtains.
  • Never place hot items (pans, heaters, candles) directly on wood. Always use trivets or holders.
Control Humidity
  • Maintain indoor humidity between 40–60% to prevent warping or cracking.
  • Use a dehumidifier in damp areas or a humidifier in dry climates.

Spill & Stain Prevention

Liquid Safety
  • Always use coasters for drinks. Blot spills immediately with a soft cloth—do not rub.
  • Remove condensation from glasses or cold items to prevent water rings.
Chemical-Free Care
  • Avoid ammonia, bleach, or silicone-based polishes. These strip natural oils and damage finishes.
  • Never apply polyurethane or wax—Driftingwood is pre-treated for lasting protection.

Repairs & Longevity

Fix Minor Scratches
  • Lightly sand scratches with 220-grit sandpaper (follow wood grain).
  • Apply a small amount of mineral oil with a soft cloth. Test on a hidden area first.

Pro Tips for Lifelong Beauty

  • Rotate decor and tableware periodically to avoid uneven wear.
  • Lift items instead of dragging them across surfaces.
  • Condition wood annually with a natural oil (e.g., linseed or beeswax) to enhance luster.
