To ensure your custom woodwork lasts for as long as possible, we provide a detailed care guide after the project is complete. This guide includes instructions on cleaning and maintenance to keep your woodwork in top condition.
Immediately after installation, you only need to wipe down the surfaces with a clean, soft cloth to remove any dust from the construction process. For long-term care, we recommend the following:
- Regular dusting: Use a microfiber or soft cloth to dust your woodwork regularly.
- Avoid harsh cleaners: Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners or simply water with a gentle soap for occasional cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that could damage the finish.
- Prevent moisture buildup: Be mindful of areas with high humidity, such as bathrooms. Make sure the woodwork is well-ventilated to avoid warping or swelling over time.
- Sunlight exposure: Limit direct exposure to sunlight, as it can cause discoloration over time. Use blinds or curtains if needed.
- Protect from scratches: For areas that are frequently used, consider using felt pads on the bottoms of objects to prevent scratching.
