Fine mahogany furniture does not need to be "over-cleaned" or "over-polished" in order to prolong the integrity and beauty of the piece. These simple yet important care techniques will ensure the continual beauty of your Mahogany furniture: DUST: Twice a month or as needed
- Always use a clean, soft and slightly dampened cloth each time you dust, wiping in the direction of the wood grain.
- Never use DRY clothes, this wil grind the dust into the finish leaving scratches.
- Feather dusters stir dust only to cover furniture once again.
POLISH: Once every one to three months - Always apply polish to cloth, never directly onto furniture
- Always follow directions on the bottle/container.
- Polishes that contain silicone and wax are not recommended.
CLEAN: once a year - Murphy's Oil Soap
- Guardsman Cleaning Products
- Always follow directions on the bottle/container.
