FAQs

What is the best way to dust wooden furniture?

We advise our team to only use water on a damp cloth for dusting wooden furniture unless the household specifies a particular product they would like used. This is also a good idea when it comes to wooden floors, as it is too difficult to stock products for each individual floor or timber finish.

How often should furniture be polished?

We recommend polishing only monthly or bi-monthly because the petroleum distillates and solvents in commercial furniture polish can be highly neurotoxic and potentially affect the central nervous system. We advise all our clients to supply an environmentally friendly polish of their choice. Polishing less often also prevents a sticky build up on wooden furniture and surfaces.
