Our Firehouse Collection wood furniture is made to require minimum care and provide
many years of enjoyment. The wood, workmanship and design features of
our furniture all contribute to its easy maintenance and long life.
Please note that our furniture is made of natural materials and that
variation in color and finish will occur since no two pieces of wood are
the same. The presence of knots, unusual grain patterns, dark wood, a
rustic feel and a roughhewn look are characteristics of the product and
are to be expected. Slight dimensional variations and changes are normal
due to the handcrafted nature of our furniture.
A handsome look is easy to maintain, even under the most demanding wear.
Oil-Based Stain Finish Only
Our furniture is protected with an oil-based finish. We recommend
using Murphy’s Oil Soap or another water-based furniture polish on your
furniture. Use a clean cloth for normal cleaning. Use steel wool to
clean your lightly stained products. To condition your furniture, we
recommend using lemon oil 2 – 4 times a year.
Do not use kitchen, bathroom or window cleaners as they will damage the finish.
Should you ever scratch or nick your furniture, it can be easily
repaired by lightly sanding the wood in the direction of the grain with
fine sandpaper, stain, and a clean cloth. For those customers with our
Honey Pine finish, we recommend using Minwax® Provincial 211. Please
talk to your local stain professional for advice on lightening or
darkening if necessary to match the color of other pieces in your home.
Always remember to test the stain on a concealed piece of the wood
before proceeding.
Oil-Based Stain Finish with Protective Clear Lacquer
Furniture with protective clear lacquer does not require a lot of
waxing, cleaning or polishing. This clear protective coating will
provide you with years of lustrous beauty. Simply wipe up spills, dust
it regularly with a standard water-based furniture polish and enjoy its
handsome good looks.
Do not use steel wool, kitchen, bathroom or window cleaners as they will damage the finish.
