❌ 1. Using Harsh Chemicals
Strong cleaners like bleach or all-purpose sprays can strip the finish and leave permanent damage.
❌ 2. Over-Wetting the Surface
Too much water seeps into the wood, causing warping, swelling, or discoloration. Always use a lightly damp cloth.
❌ 3. Skipping Dusting
Dust isn’t harmless! It acts like fine sandpaper, slowly wearing down the surface if left too long.
❌ 4. Using the Wrong Cloth
Rough or abrasive cloths can scratch the finish. Stick with soft microfiber for safe, effective cleaning.
❌ 5. Spraying Cleaner Directly on the Wood
Always spray on a cloth first. Direct spraying can cause spotting or buildup that ruins the sheen.
