To ensure your furniture becomes tomorrow's heirloom, all it takes is a few simple steps. 

Your home furnishings, crafted with fine materials and meticulous craftsmanship, will age gracefully when given daily care and use.   

  SOLID WOOD

Real wood furniture is sensitive to environmental factors such as sunlight, heating vents, air conditioning, and extreme climates. These conditions can accelerate aging, leading to more noticeable checking and cracking. Such effects are not manufacturing defects but natural responses to environmental stress. Panels may shrink, exposing raw wood and visible cracks, especially in extreme climates. 

To protect your HTD furniture, we recommend using a non-wax furniture polish. 

Avoid products containing ammonia, oil or silicone, as they can degrade the lacquer finish and cause permanent damage.

HTD's 7-step catalyzed finish on Mango, Acacia, or Neem wood tables, requires no chemicals or citrus-based cleaners. 

Routine Cleaning

1   Clean using a cloth dampened with warm water and mild soap.

2   Wipe up spills prompley to prevent damage.

3   Cool or room temperature items are generally safe on catalyzed lacquer or water-based finishes. 

4   Use caution when putting hot items, coffee, or hot serving dishes directly on table surfaces. Use placemats and coasters to protect against heat, as it can cause the finish to cloud. 

Maintenance

If certain areas of the wood appear dry over time, applying a light lemon oil can help preserve the finish. 

For raw or antique finishes, dust with a clean cloth and avoid oils or polishes that may darken the wood. These finishes are more vulnerable to staining from grease, wine, water, and other food or beverage spills.

If damage occurs or environmental factors significantly alter the wood's characteristics, consult a qualified Mohawk technician for maintenance.

Splits and defects can typically be resolved with their expertise.

  MARBLE &  NATURAL STONE

Normal everyday use will not harm our furniture's finish, but prolonged exposure to extreme conditions such as high temperature and moisture, or continual sunlight may cause some visible effects to appear.

 Routine Cleaning

1   Clean natural stone tabletops, it's important to use neutral cleaners specifically designed for stone.

These concentrated pH neutral cleaners are safe for existing sealers/coatings and should never contain acid or bleach.

2   To maintain the pristine appearance of your HTD furniture, incorporate regular dusting with a clean, damp, lint-free cloth into your routine.

Avoiding dirty surfaces can prevent scratches, and using too much cleaner or soap may leave a film and cause streaks.

3   Additionally, exercise caution when placing hot items on the surface by always using a trivet or coaster between your furniture and hot dishes.

4   Stone and Marble are porous materials, and spills should be cleaned up immediately to prevent staining.

  LEATHER

Cleaning leather is vital for preserving the appearance of your leather items. Each leather chair is unique, featuring variations in color and markings, natural lines, scuffs, and  areas where the leather stretches, adding to its charm. These intentional features create an "antiquing" effect, enhancing the chair's distinct beauty.

Routine Cleaning

Use a clean, soft white cloth to clean your leather furniture. Never use detergents, soaps or chemicals. Avoid direct sunlight and heat exposure from vents. Blot any liquids immediately with a clean, white absorbent cloth or sponge, and then let air-dry. If a spill is absorbed, it will dissipate over time as the leather naturally diffuses the stain.

Here's a list of items you should steer clear of Baking soda, Vinegar, Fingernail polish remover, Windex, Disinfectant wipes, and Bleach.

For specific leathers, please use the clean code recommendations below.
