AVOID PLACING FURNITURE IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT. PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO UV WILL GRADUALLY CAUSE THE COLOUR OF WOOD TO FADE. BE AWARE TO ROTATE ITEMS PLACED ON WOOD OR PAINTED SURFACES TO AVOID THE DEVELOPMENT OF LIGHT OR DARK SPOTTING.
AVOID EXTREME TEMPERATURE. CHANGES IN HUMIDITY CAUSES WOOD TO SHRINK OR SWELL. EXTREME CHANGES IN HUMIDITY CAN LEAD TO WARPING, SPLITTING AND CRACKING. KEEP YOUR FURNITURE IN A STABLE ENVIRONMENT WHERE POSSIBLE. AVOID PLACING FURNITURE NEAR RADIATORS, FIREPLACES, HEAVILY AIR CONDITIONED ENVIRONMENTS OR AREAS WITH EXCESSIVE MOISTURE.
WIPE SPILLS IMMEDIATELY. WHEN ACCIDENTS HAPPEN USE A CLEAN, DAMP CLOTH TO BLOT THE SPILL - AVOID RUBBING. DO NOT USE ANY ALCOHOL OT BLEACH BASED CLEANING AGENTS.
