Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth. Never use oiled or treated cloths on lacquered finishes. Some finishes can be wiped with a damp (not wet) cloth followed at once by rubbing with a dry cloth to remove fingerprints and smudges. For persistent spots gently clean with a soft cloth and a solution of water and mild soap make sure to wipe dry. Use adhesive felt pads coasters and placemats to protect your furniture.
