Care

  • Avoid placing hot objects directly on the surface – use thick coasters or pot holders as a base.

  • Avoid placing in direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or bleaching. Use day curtains for your windows if the furniture is within the path of natural light.
  • Avoid placing the item in an overly humid area or area with a lot of moisture, this will cause warping or bubbles to form.
  • Do not wipe with a soaking wet cloth; instead, use a slightly damp cloth (don’t use chemical cleaners) to wipe the wood surface, followed by a dry cloth to absorb excess moisture.
  • Use a soft brush to clean and remove any dust or dirt.
  • Dust regularly with a slightly damp, soft, lint-free cloth.
  • Apply quality cleaner formulated for wood furniture, on the surface monthly to prevent cracking.
  • Apply wood wax on the surface monthly to prevent cracking. (for solid walnut only which are Bowen and Weiland collection)
  • Do not use aerosol-powered cleaners or polishes.
  • Also, do not use polishes containing waxes or abrasives, or polishes that are oil-based.
  • Lift furniture while moving, do not drag to prevent the screws from coming loose.
  • Avoid the application of blunt or heavy force directly on the wood surface to prevent cracking.
  • Denting, caused by extreme pen pressure when writing, can also damage veneer.
  • Use desk pads or some other protection where a lot of paperwork is done.
  • Objects should be lifted instead of dragged across the wooden surface.
  • Protective pads should be used under items with a rough bottom.
  • Don’t place a potted plant on a veneer surface unless it’s in a water-tight container or in a drip tray.
