If you happen to spill something on your piece, immediately dab the stain with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub the stain in or use an abrasive cleaner as this may make it worse and leave a permanent mark. If the stain won’t budge, seek professional assistance.

Legs

To clean the wooden legs use a damp cloth rinsed in clean warm water. Do not wash the painted legs as this may remove the colour, and avoid using detergents.
