• Cleaning: Wipe clean with a dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and then wipe dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Spills: Promptly wipe up any spills to prevent staining, especially on the tabletop and chair upholstery.
• Heat Protection: Always use placemats or coasters under hot dishes to protect the tabletop surface.
