The paint finish on this item provides a uniform and elegant look while protecting against daily wear. For routine cleaning, use a dry or slightly damp cloth with water only. Avoid using strong cleaning agents such as bleach, abrasive materials, or degreasers, as they can damage the paint finish. To maintain the original look of the wood over time, avoid placing hot objects directly on the surface and use coasters or placemats to prevent scratches and stains.
