As with every tree in a forest, no two pieces of furniture are exactly the same. Wood is a natural product and will have many visible markings and distinctions - these are not seen as a flaw or fault but a sign of natural beauty and it's what makes each piece of Orta furniture beautifully unique. Always use a soft, lint free, dry cloth, when dusting and ensure that there is no grit on the duster. Please avoid using silicon or spray polishes, abrasive cleaners or other household cleaning products as these are not designed for hardwood furniture as they may leave a residue on the surface of your furniture. To keep your furniture looking its best, we recommend regular dusting and an occasional wipe with a soft, clean and damp cloth, followed by a soft, lint free cloth. It is normal that bolts and other fixings may work loose over time and may need a quick tighten every now and again. Try to minimise the position of your furniture from heat, humidity and direct sunlight where possible.
