My mom just got her table refinished for Thanksgiving due to the wear and tear over the years. We wanted to share some ideas we learned with you about how to keep your table in great shape. If cared for properly, your solid hardwood table can give you a lifetime of service and beauty. Here are several care tips that will enhance your solid hardwood table investment:
PLACE your table away from radiators, fireplaces, and heating ducts.
POSITION table out of direct sunlight or adjust blinds to avoid hour after hour of direct sunlight.
CONTROL humidity to 40%-45%. In winter use a humidifier, in summer use a dehumidifier or air conditioner.
USE coasters with non-scratching bottoms.
USE padding under all sharp, hot, or cold objects.
STORE table leaves in close proximity to table or in the same humidity, avoid storing leaves in damp basements where the leaves may swell.
AVOID using nail polish remover, alcohol, and other solvents near or on table.
ASK your retailer about manufacturer-provided finishes that resist damage from harmful liquids and objects.
