Table Care & Maintenance Instructions
General Cleaning for Tabletops
To maintain the beauty and longevity of your handcrafted tabletop, follow these care guidelines:
-
Daily Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth with mild dish soap and water. Most general-purpose wood cleaners are acceptable, but always test in an inconspicuous area first.
-
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use cleaners containing ammonia, degreasers, bleach, or abrasives.
-
UV Finish Only: Some cleaners may leave a film on UV-finished surfaces. If this occurs, use a cleaner like Fantastik or 409 to remove buildup.
-
Spill Management: Clean spills immediately to prevent water damage. Avoid excessive moisture on wood surfaces.
-
Prevent Scratches & Damage:
- Do not use abrasive plates, cups, or utensils.
- Be mindful of items with rough bottoms, such as sugar caddies or decorations.
-
Environmental Considerations:
- Avoid placing tables in direct sunlight or near heat sources (e.g., fireplaces, vents).
- Maintain a stable temperature and humidity level to prevent expansion or contraction.
-
Outdoor Use: Tops are designed for indoor use unless specifically stated as outdoor-rated.
📌 Note: Improper care will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
Cleaning by Material Type
Natural Stone (Quartzite, Granite, Marble)
- Use neutral or slightly alkaline cleaners (pH 7).
- Clean with a soft cloth.

- Stone surfaces are sealed upon delivery but should be resealed every 6–12 months.
Quartz
- Clean with mild soap and water or neutral/slightly alkaline cleaners (pH 7).
- Use a soft cloth.
- No sealing required—quartz is non-porous.
Solid Surface (e.g., Corian)
- Clean with mild soap and water or neutral/slightly alkaline cleaners (pH 7).
- Ammonia-based cleaners (excluding window cleaners) are safe.
- For disinfecting, use a diluted bleach solution (1 part bleach, 1 part water).
- Solid surfaces do not require sealing and are completely non-porous.
Base Cleaning
Textured, Wrinkle, or Hammer-Tone Powder Coated Bases
- Remove dirt with a soft-bristle dry brush.
- For stubborn stains or grease marks, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water.
Polished Powder-Coated Bases
