At Woodland Creek Furniture, we specialize in high-quality, rustic dining tables that bring warmth and character to your space. To ensure your investment remains beautiful for years to come, follow these expert care tips.

Regular Cleaning for Everyday Beauty

To keep your wood dining table looking its best:

• Dust frequently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to prevent buildup.
• Use a damp cloth with mild soap for deeper cleaning, then immediately dry with a clean towel.
• Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the finish.

Protect Against Spills and Heat Damage

Wood's natural porousnous makes it vulnerable to water rings and heat marks. Here’s how to protect your table:

• Use coasters and placemats to prevent stains from drinks and hot dishes.
• Clean spills immediately to avoid moisture seeping into the wood.
• Consider a protective finish to add an extra layer of durability.

Maintain Proper Humidity Levels

Wood expands and contracts with humidity changes, which can lead to warping or cracking over time. Keep your dining table in prime condition by:

• Using a humidifier in winter to prevent excessive dryness.
• Avoiding placement near radiators or direct sunlight.
• Keeping indoor humidity levels between 40-50%.

Polish and Condition the Wood

To keep the finish of your dining table rich and lustrous:

• Apply furniture polish or beeswax occasionally to nourish the wood.
• Avoid silicone-based sprays, which can leave a residue over time.
• Buff gently with a lint-free cloth to enhance shine without damaging the surface.

Be Mindful of Placement and Use

The right placement ensures your dining table stays in top shape:

• Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade and dry out wood over time.
• Use felt pads under décor or centerpieces to prevent scratches.
• Rotate table settings regularly to ensure even wear.
