The cleaning of wood flooring must be carried out with attention and gentleness. Please carefully follow your floor recommendations as shown in the technical data sheet of the product you have purchased and below. For daily cleaning it is advisable to employ dry cleaners, because stagnant water on the floor inevitably cause swelling and, in some woods, tannin leakage with blackening of the planks, damages that cannot be easily repairable. Instead use vacuum cleaners or brushes with soft bristles to avoid debris and dirt from piling and consequent unsightly scratches caused by foot traffic. Vacuums with a beater bar or power rotary brush head can damage a wood floor and should not be use. Do not use industrial machines, floor washing robots or steam machinery which generally have an abrasive action, high temperatures and use an excessive amount of water that may seep in and damage the floor.
To maintain the durability of the special finish of the furniture by Artitalia Group, designed for an unlimited period, a few simple rules must be follow. First, it is important to apply two or three times a year a thin layer of wax and polish with a cloth, so as to renew the finish and protect brightness. In addition, the furniture cleaning must be carried out with products specifically design for wood surfaces: water, alcohol, acetone or the like are to be avoided, since they are elements and products that irreparably ruin the coating. As known, the natural structure of the wood may be subject to slight movements in the succession of the seasons, depending on whether environments are damp or more dry. These movements, far from being imperfections, are a guarantee that solid wood has been used.
