Care Instructions

Your John-Richard Furniture will give you many years of enjoyment provided it is looked after in the following manner. Keep the furniture out of direct sunlight since overexposure could change the color of the protective topcoat or cause colors to fade. John-Richard Furniture is meant for indoor use only and must be used or stored in a climate controlled environment. Avoid extremes of temperature and humidity. Do not place your furniture next to a heating or cooling vent. Clean your furniture with a soft, clean cloth. If this does not remove residue from the furniture you should moisten the cloth with water and gently wipe away the stain. Dry with a soft cloth to remove moisture. Under no circumstances should you use a solvent to clean your furniture. Solvents such as alcohol, thinner, nail polish remover etc. will all degrade the topcoat thereby leaving your furniture unprotected. If a stain or residue cannot be removed in the above fashion, please contact a professional furniture finisher to assist you. Do not use solvents or abrasives on the metal bases, handles drawer pulls etc. Do not put lamps, accessories, sculptures etc. directly on top of your furniture. Use protective pads on the bottom of the decorative item to avoid scratching the surface. Decorative hardware should be cleaned in the same way as the rest of the furniture.
