Lacquered Surfaces
Daily care: wipe with a damp cloth, and then immediately wipe off, using a dry cloth. For particularly dirty surfaces, use a cloth, well wrung out after saturating in a washing up liquid solution (1 tsp. to 1 litre of water). Wipe after with a dry cloth.
Small scratches may eventually appear from abrasion. All dishware should be glazed on the underside in order to avoid premature wear on the surface.
Metal Finishes
Designer Plated – Remove dirt and fingerprints with a non-abrasive damp cloth. Apply furniture polish once every six (6) months to maintain surface.

Textiles
Textiles – Cleaning methods vary based on type of fabric. Dirt and crumbs can be gently brushed or vacuumed off. Spills should be wiped off immediately with a cloth. For overall cleaning, professional service is recommended.
