Wood is beautiful — and sensitive
Wood surfaces don’t like aggressive chemicals, abrasive sponges, or too much water. The goal is gentle cleaning that protects the finish.
Do this
- Dust first: dry microfiber removes grit that can scratch.
- Damp, not wet: wring cloth well before wiping.
- Test in a hidden spot: especially on older or treated wood.
- Wipe dry: remove moisture to prevent marks.
Avoid this
- Harsh abrasives and rough scrub pads
- Strong degreasers on finished wood (can dull or strip)
- Leaving water pooled on the surface
When in doubt: surface-safe products
If you’re unsure which product is suitable, choose a gentle cleaner intended for wood finishes. For high-value surfaces, professional guidance avoids expensive damage.
