Care Instructions

Lincolnshire makes the world's finest furniture. In our production and finishing operations we have highly skilled people and state-of-the-art equipment. A Lincolnshire piece is a fine bench made piece.

​

In order to properly clean and maintain the furniture, we recommend that you follow the guidelines below:

​​

Products & Finishes

Wood and lacquered pieces have been stained and/or polished to bring depth and beauty to each finish. Although most are protected with either a clear coat or wax, they are still susceptible to wear.

​

​

Environment

Maintain wood and lacquer by not placing near heaters, air conditioning units, or uninsulated exterior walls/windows to prevent over-drying or exposure to excessive moisture. Avoid extreme humidity changes in your home, as dry or humid air can cause wood to crack and lacquer to lift. 

 

 

Surfaces

​Avoid putting hot, cold, or moist objects directly on the wood/lacquer surface(s), or letting liquids stand on the furniture as they can cause rings and/or damage the piece. Rubber or plastic left on the wood finish can also damage the finish.

​

​

Cleaning

Care for your wood and lacquer pieces by dusting regularly with a soft cloth in the direction of the grain. If the piece requires further cleaning, use a dry or slightly damp (with water) soft cloth and a separate soft clean cloth to dry the piece.

​

​

Polishing

​Polish with a dry soft cloth after cleaning. Do not use commercial, heavy duty polishes or waxes or silicone based products. Clean leaves/extensions before storing.

​

​

Tabletop Protection

Use a table pad and/or place mats when using a dining table and remove immediately after use.

​

​

Professional Cleaning, Touch-up, and Repair

We recommend that stained or soiled wood or lacquer pieces be professionally cleaned or refinished.

​

​

Metals

Never use cleaners with alcohols or solvents on metals. Only used fine cotton or extra soft cloths. We recommend that tarnished metals be professionally cleaned.
