Basic cleaning Use a soft cloth to wash the surface with warm water and mild dishwashing detergent. Rinse with warm water and dry with a soft cloth. Use an all purpose cleaner or bathroom cleaner to remove spots and stains.

Stubborn spots and stains Mix baking soda and water to create a paste. Use a soft bristle brush to gently rub the spot in a circular motion. The paste will be slightly abrasive, so work carefully, pressing very lightly. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Repeat the process as long as you’re making progress. If the stain remains, use undiluted house hold bleach the label should read 5 solution of sodium hypochlorite. Take special care to protect your eyes, skin, and clothing. Apply the bleach using a wet sponge or paper towel, place it on the stain and let sit for no longer than one and a half minutes. Rinse repeatedly with warm water and dry with a soft cloth.

Maintenance • Clean the surface of wooden facades with damp soft cloth, then wipe with another soft cloth. Try to clean the door in the direction of the wood texture. • Do not use harsh sponges, abrasive scrubs or highly concen trated cleaners. • Avoid large and constant streams of steam on the surface of facades. • When cleaning furniture door with glass strips, do not strike directly on the glass. Spray on a cloth and then clean. When sprayed directly on the door with glasss strips, the clean er can get under the glass strip, which can affect the color change. Take care of solid wood facades, like wooden furni ture and they delight you with quality for many years to come!
