WOOD CARE: Always use felt pads under all articles to prevent discoloration or softening of the lacquer. Plastic and rubber bases on items can discolor wood. Wipe up spills immediately and avoid common hazards such as hot dishes, harsh solvents, and abrasives. Cleaning should be done with a soft lint free cotton cloth dampened with water. METAL CARE: Wipe spills immediately. Maintain with regular dusting. Clean with mild soap and water. Dry thoroughly and do not use a brass cleaner.
