Dust regularly: Use a soft, lint-free cloth or a microfiber duster to remove dust and debris from the surface of the side table. Regular dusting helps maintain its appearance.
Avoid direct sunlight: Place the side table away from direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure can cause the finish to fade or discolor over time.
Use coasters and placemats: Place coasters or placemats under hot, cold, or wet items like cups, mugs, and plates to prevent moisture rings and heat damage to the finish.
Clean spills promptly: If any spills occur, immediately blot them with a clean, dry cloth to prevent the liquid from penetrating the wood or damaging the finish. Avoid rubbing, as it may spread the spill.
Mild cleaning solution: For more stubborn stains, use a damp cloth with a mild solution of water and a gentle, non-abrasive wood or furniture cleaner. Test the cleaner in an inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't harm the finish.
Avoid harsh chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or solvents on the table's surface, as they can damage the polish and PU paint finish.
Regular maintenance: Periodically, apply a furniture polish or wax suitable for polished and painted wood surfaces. Follow the product's instructions for application.
Protective pads: Place felt or rubber pads on the bottom of items like vases, decorative pieces, or electronics to prevent scratches or marks on the table's surface.
Temperature and humidity: Maintain a stable room temperature and humidity level in your home to prevent wood from warping or cracking. Use a humidifier in dry environments if necessary.
Handle with care: When moving or rearranging the side table, lift it gently rather than dragging it, to avoid damaging both the finish and the floor.
