Every Henkel Harris piece of furniture exhibits the same degree of craftsmanship utilizing the
finest materials during our manufacturing process. As a result, it is no coincidence that you need
to exert very little effort to preserve its beauty once it arrives at your home. If you understand
the nature of the wood and finish of your furniture, and take heed to these simple recommendations
for its maintenance, you will enjoy your investment for a lifetime.

Solid wood reacts to the amount of humidity in your home. Long periods of heat, without added
moisture, will dry wood and cause splitting and weakening of the glue joints. We recommend between
35% and 40% relative humidity during cold, dry months. It is equally important not to expose your
furniture to excessively damp areas without providing a dehumidifier. Certainly most of today's
heating and cooling systems maintain the home at the acceptable levels mentioned, but it is important
for you to be aware of these conditions and take the appropriate action to prevent needless damage.
Be thoughtful, too, when arranging furniture in your home. Direct sunlight will bleach the wood and
may cause the lacquer to crack. In addition, it is important to avoid direct contact with alcohol,
perfume, fingernail polish and remover, hairspray and plastic products (such as doilies). These can
soften the lacquer and contribute to finish discoloration and deterioration.

Our finishing technique is the most refined in the industry and does more to protect the wood
than any wax can. All you need to do is apply Guardsman® furniture polish a few times a year
and buff well. Guardsman® cleans - it does not leave a greasy buildup. Between cleanings, simply
dust with a soft, dry cloth or wipe with a damp cloth and dry completely.

You can hide minor nicks or marks with furniture touch-up pencils, brown shoe polish or a bit of
stain. Try any touch-up material in an inconspicuous wood area to be sure the color will blend satisfactorily.

The more you know about your furniture, the greater your satisfaction will be. It was crafted
to give you years of useful service and, more importantly, pride of ownership. Should it become
necessary to require a repair, always rely on a furniture professional who comes well recommended by
your authorized Henkel Harris retailer. By following these simple recommendations, your Henkel Harris
furniture will indeed become an heirloom investment...cherished and used for generations.
