Clean all food spills from wood surfaces immediately & thoroughly. Most foods can damage wood finishes eventually, particularly high acid foods such as orange juice, coffee, tea, mustard, etc. Don’t wipe up spills with a recently used washrag or dish sponge as some strong detergents are also damaging to wood surfaces.

When cleaning off wood, use mild soap and water with a clean, lint-free rag. Use water sparingly and towel dry any excess. Water can permanently raise the graining of the wood. When water sits on wood, it can penetrate through the finish.
