Timber is wonderfully versatile however, being a natural material, it can take some care to look after it correctly.
Some things to avoid:
- Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
May darken timber over time.
- Close proximity to heat sources (fire place, electric heater, central heating vents).
Uneven heating can encourage timber to warp.
- Harsh cleaning products and abrasive cleaning pads.
Can damage or scratch the finish.
- Direct contact of hot pots, pans, cups and mugs to the timber.
This will result in damage to the timber surfaces.
- Dragging or pushing furniture around
Can cause joints to loosen.
- Ball point pens, ceramic mugs
Can leave marks on soft wood species such as pine
- Prolonged exposure to moisture (Don’t get to close with that mop)
Some good habits:
- Clean furniture with a soft wet cloth and then wipe dry following the grain
- Always use coasters or placemats underneath items such as hot or cold drinks or plates.
- Always insure there is sufficient padding when writing on top of a timber surface.
- Get a friend to help move your piece of furniture, lift and place, avoid dragging.
- Wipe up any spills with a soft cloth as soon as possible
