caring for your furniture

caring for your turnwood bedroom furniture: by following these instructions, you should ensure that your turnwood bedroom furniture will last for years.
when polishing your furniture use a damp cloth to help enhance and protect its original finish. avoid using silicone-based polishes on all lacquer finishes. for polishing, we recommend using spray glow, a product made by mirotone. when dusting, use a cloth that attracts and holds dust. put a little polishing oil on a cloth before dusting (which will attract the dust) and use the same cloth every time. always dust in the direction of the grain. a simple but regular clean with a soft damp cloth is generally enough to keep your furniture in excellent condition. clean up spills immediately with a blotting motion rather than wiping. avoid extreme changes in humidity. too high or too low humidity may cause wood to warp or the glue used in construction to loosen. avoid extremes in temperature. keep furniture away from heaters, fireplaces, dehumidifiers and air conditioning units as this may cause drying out of the protective finishes. rotate accessories often as they may cause discoloration if left in the same spot all the time. use table mats or cloths to protect surfaces from heavy objects. do not allow finger nail polish and removers, personal deodorants, perfumes, aftershave lotions, hot or cold drinks, soap etc to come into contact with the surface. lift objects, do not slide or drag them across surfaces. please place away from direct heating, direct sunlight and open windows. it is important to remember that timber is a natural product and if not maintained properly it may affect the quality of your furniture. to maintain your turnwood bedroom furniture, use a soft cloth or feather duster, occasionally use a soft damp cloth to clean. periodically we recommend that you apply a furniture polish which contains oils and waxes to clean and enrich your furniture (which will also reduce fading). we recommend that you periodically check the tightness of side rail bolts, and check more frequently when the products are new. please do not overtighten as this may cause cracks in the timber which may affect the overall functionality of the furniture. if in doubt about furniture care or maintenance, please ask your retailer, or call turnwood customer service on 0800 887 686. mirotone is available at the following places throughout new zealand: mirotone (nz) ltd 32 cryers rd, east tamaki, auckland. ph 09 272 2730 mirotone (nz) ltd barnes st, seaview, petone, wellington. ph 04 568 3422 mirotone (nz) ltd 40 wickham st, christchurch. ph 03 373 6017 wynn fraser paints okara plaza, okara drive, whangarei. ph 09 438 1624 car colours triton plaza, albany, auckland. ph 09 443 1960 versatile products waikato unit 1, 67 duke st, hamilton. ph 07 846 6612 versatile products bop 61 fourth ave, tauranga. ph 07 577 0195 versatile products bop (rotorua) unit 3, 5 hyland cres. rotorua. ph 07 343 6159 carters napier ford rd, napier. ph 06 843 5877 carters hastings caroline rd, hastings. ph 06 878 6109 carters gisborne gladstone rd, gisborne. ph 06 868 8099 athol ross Ltd 1 main st, greytown. wairarapa. ph 06 304 9898 premier paints 66 molesworth st, new plymouth. ph 06 759 1537 the paint factory 443A nayland rd, nelson. ph 03 547 6143 james wren & co 65 yarrow st, invercargill. ph 03 214 4079
