Veneering is one of the methods we use for finishing off our furniture. It is simply covering core panels with very thin strips of wood. For this reason, any cleaning or maintenance of the furniture should be done similarly to that of solid wood furniture.
Wood is a natural material therefore, it is inevitable that irregularities in its structure and shade will appear. Varying in its texture should not be seen as a flaw as it proves that the veneers were made from a truly natural material, which is unique and distinct.

What is characteristic for wooden furniture is the wood's susceptibility to various factors such as humidity, fluctuations in temperature and insolation, which can cause changes in the shape and shade of the veneers. The changes that occur during the exploitation of veneered furniture are caused by these natural factors so in order to protect your furniture and so that these changes do not lead to permanent damage, it is important to keep any sources of moisture and high heat away from the pieces (i.e. do not place the furniture close to central heaters, fireplaces or even chimney ducts). The pieces should also be protected from long exposure to the sun's rays, which may cause discolouration. It is also important that the furniture be placed in an area where the level of humidity and temperature are stable. Veneered furniture is susceptible to scoring so, in the case of handling objects with sharp edges or a rough surface, high caution is advised. You should also avoid placing hot dishes onto the furniture, as well as staining it, especially with such substances as ink or stearin.

Veneered furniture should be cleaned simply with a slightly damp sponge or a soft cloth, using water and a delicate soap. Polishing agents should be avoided. You should also avoid very wet, rough cloths or those that have long fibres. It is strongly suggested that cleaning agents based on ammonia, which may destroy or discolour the surface of the furniture, are not used. Substances based on alcohol or chemical solvents (such as benzene or acetone) may also have the same effect. The rule is, if you are not sure whether the cleaning agent is suitable for your furniture, avoid using it altogether.
