Product Care
As wood adapts to its environment, its characteristics may change. FTSNY continues to work with our crafts people to advance our designs and manufacturing processes to help minimize these naturally occurring changes. Exposure to extreme temperature shifts are the main cause for these changes. These changes can be deformation or discoloration.
GreenGuard Certified
We are happy to announce that our standard natural finish (nitrocellulose lacquer) is now GreenGuard Certified as low-VOC and adheres to a high level of environmental and health standards.
It contains little to no VOCs upon delivery. FTSNY also offers other finishes for custom work which are water-based and/or low-VOC.
Maintenance
From the Source furnishings are handcrafted to create one-of-a-kind pieces and feature finishes that require little maintenance to preserve their beauty.
However, the surfaces should be cleaned as you would care for an heirloom piece to guarantee many years of enjoyment. Most finishes do not require more than regular light dusting or occasional wiping.
We recommend using basic soap and water for common food spills. Murphy Oil Soap is also recommended.
For outdoor furniture, we recommend using Wet and Forget outdoor cleaner to prevent mildew.
Note: Do not use vinegar to clean wood surfaces. This can ruin the finish.
In addition, we suggest checking and tightening any bolts periodically, as well as using proper techniques or professional movers when moving your furniture.
