Avoid depositing hot dishes directly on surface. Rubber legs of certain accessories, as well as plastic mats could leave marks on finished.



Correct Environmental Conditions

Correct environmental conditions will add longevity to the life of fine furniture. When wood furniture is placed in a damp environment, the various parts will swell slightly; conversely, when placed in a dry environment, the parts will shrink. Obviously then, very damp or very dry environments should be avoided.

Cyclic changes in temperature, such as those found in an unheated warehouse (cool at night, warmer during the day) can cause small cracks to occur in the finish. Hot blasts of air, such as those from a central heating, should be avoided, because they cause extreme localized drying of the wood.

Direct sunlight has a bleaching effect on wood and finishes, so it should be avoided either by placement of the furniture, or by the use of sunscreens, drapes, or blinds.

Keeping it Clean with the Proper Techniques
 
At Villageois, a very high quality catalysed lacquer is used on our furniture. It resists most household liquids, yellowing or cracking, and does an excellent job of protecting the wood. A solution of mild soap and water may be used to wash your furniture. However, don't allow the solution to "puddle" on the surfaces.The best cloth to use to clean furniture is soft cotton
