Product Care

Environment:

   50° to 80° Fahrenheit
   40% to 65% Relative Humidity
   No extreme fluctuations in temperature and humidity
   No proximity to direct heat sources
   No proximity to direct sunlight
   No contact with moisture

Gilded surfaces are subject to damage from abrasion, sunlight and
temperature extremes. A gilded finish must be protected from
sources of direct heat (air sources as well as CPU's and laptops),
and out of direct sunlight or other harsh light sources.

Dusting and Care:

-    Gently dust with a soft cotton cloth.
-    Always use coasters under both hot and cold drinks.
-    To prevent gouging and scratching, use felt backing on lamps,
     ashtrays, and accessories.
-   When serving hot foods, always use place mats under plates
     and hot pads under serving dishes.
-    To prevent moisture damage make sure plants are in drip-proof
     pots, and keep foliage from touching the gilded surface.
-    When placing items on the gilded surface, always set them down
     gently; when retrieving items, pick them up, don't slide them.
-    Don't place rubber or synthetic materials, such as plastics,
     directly on a gilded surface, since they might contain chemicals
     that could damage the finish.
-    Don't place magazines or newspapers on a gilded surface;
     the ink will bleed into the finish and eventually damage the
     finish.
-    Blot spills immediately. Gently blot the area with a succession
     of clean, soft, dry cloths until the spill is gone and the area is
     completely dry.
