We have taken great pride in creating a piece of furniture that can someday be passed down from generation to generation. Its lasting beauty, however, depends a great deal on the care it receives. Please refer to our Finishes page if you are unsure which Harden finish information applies to your furniture.

* Low Sheen/Matte Sheen/Satin Sheen/Semi-Gloss Sheen

• Avoid placing furniture near heat outlets, open windows or in direct sunlight.

• Never leave pliable plastic items directly on wood surfaces.

• Protect fine furniture finishes from hot dishes, alcohol and excessive moisture. Remove spills immediately.

• Dust when needed with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. Clean as required with a soft, damp cloth; wipe completely dry.

* Dry-Look Finishes

• Avoid placing furniture near heat outlets or open windows.

• Never leave pliable plastic items directly on wood surfaces.

• Protect fine furniture finishes from hot dishes, alcohol and excessive moisture. Remove spills immediately.

• Dust when needed with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. Clean as required with a soft, damp cloth; wipe completely dry.

• Surfaces or edges exposed to heavy wear may require a periodic application of mineral oil or paste wax.

* Everyday Use

• Sit only on structures designed for that purpose.

• Avoid using chair stretchers or table pedestals as foot rests.

• Avoid excessive scratching by lifting objects rather than dragging them across finished surfaces.

• Allow the wood to breath. Dust often to remove everyday abrasive particles from wood surfaces.

• Do not place hot items on a finish that will melt away or stain. Always use coasters under hot and cold beverages.

• Beware of water from spills and condensation on drink glasses that can cause damage to coatings.

* Polish Information

• Harden Furniture Polish is recommended for Harden Satin Sheen and Semi-Gloss Sheen finishes. It is not recommended for use on Harden Low Sheen finishes, as it will raise the sheen level and cause hang-up in distressed areas. Polish and aerosols containg silicone should never be used.
