Tips for Cleaning Reclaimed Wood Furniture

Here are three basic tips to clean and care for reclaimed wood tables and other furniture:

1. Use a damp cloth, not a heavy saturated cloth, to clean your reclaimed wood furniture to avoid water-related issues.

2. Stay away from silicone-based products and any cleaning product with an ammonia base. The chemicals in these products can irritate the barn wood.

3. Avoid direct sunlight and high heat areas of your home. These conditions can cause issues with warping and cracking in your furniture.
