CARE

Do not clean furniture until the finish has cured completely. Varnish cure time guideline: 30 days. After your finish has cured, clean items with warm water and lint free rag. If needed, add a small dot of dish soap or a dash of vinegar. As a fine furniture finish care is important, be sure to use coasters, mats and trivets. Wipe spills immediately and only use a water damp microfiber cloth and mild dishsoap to clean.

​Avoid using any oil-soaps or silicone-based daily cleaners or dusting sprays. These products and the chemicals in other cleaners can contaminate your finish and can prevent adhesion of future finishes.
