Thank you for choosing a beautifully crafted home decor piece with a Waterlox finish! Designed to be an heirloom passed down through generations, proper maintenance will ensure it retains its beauty:

Cleaning:

• 🧹 Regularly dust with a soft, dry cloth to clean the surface.

  🧽 For more thorough cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water.

• 🚫 Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish.

Polishing:

• 🕯 Apply a light coat of beeswax or a wood-specific polish every few months.

• 🖐 Rub the wax or polish in with a soft cloth, following the grain of the wood, and then buff to a shine.

Touch-ups:

• 🔧 Touch-ups are rare and typically only needed after several years of heavy use.

• 🖌 If necessary, lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper, clean off the dust, and apply a thin coat of Waterlox, allowing it to dry thoroughly.

Avoiding Moisture:

• 💧 Protect the piece from excessive moisture and direct sunlight to prevent damage.

What to Expect Over Time:

• 🍂 Over time, the finish may deepen in color, enhancing the wood’s character.
