Maintenance and care

🧼 Daily & Weekly Maintenance

• Dust regularly with a soft microfiber cloth to prevent buildup and micro-scratches.
• Clean spills immediately using a dry or slightly damp cloth—moisture is wood’s nemesis.
• Avoid harsh chemicals like ammonia or bleach; use wood-safe cleaners or mild soap diluted in water.

🌞 Environmental Protection

• Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and discoloration.
• Avoid placing near heat sources like radiators or vents, which can dry out and crack the wood.
• Maintain stable humidity (ideally 40–55%) to prevent warping or splitting.

🛡️ Surface Protection

• Use coasters and desk mats under mugs, laptops, and decorative items to prevent heat and moisture damage.
• Add felt pads under accessories to avoid scratches.
• Rotate items occasionally to prevent uneven fading or pressure marks.

✨ Periodic Deep Care

• Polish every 2–3 months with a wood-specific polish or oil to restore shine and nourish the surface.
• Re-finish when needed—sanding and reapplying varnish or oil can revive a tired desk.
• Repair minor scratches with wood touch-up pens or stain markers.

🐜 Bonus Tips

• Inspect for pests like termites or beetles—look for tiny holes or sawdust-like residue.
• Avoid long-term contact with plastics or rubber, which can react with wood finishes.
• Keep airflow around the desk to prevent mold or mildew in humid environments.
