Care and Cleaning
Dust the mantel periodically.
Using a soft cloth and a wood cleaner, wipe the mantel clean in the direction of the grain to
minimize the appearance of scratches and scu s in the nish.
Do not use water to clean mantel. Water may cause swelling, warping or stains if allowed to
penetrate the nish of the mantel. Use protective pads or cloths whenever possible.
Avoid placing mantel in rooms with lots of humidity or where humidity could be a problem.
This may cause warping to the mantel.
Avoid direct sunlight if possible to reduce the possibility of bleaching the nish. If direct
sunlight cannot be avoided, the mantel should be placed so that sunlight hits the mantel
evenly so sunlight bleaching is even and consistent.
