Properly cared for, your Montague Gower Furniture will give a lifetime of pleasure.

What is the best way to Care for your furniture?

Dust regularly and use a soft cloth to apply a good quality wax polish. (avoid using polish that contains silicone as these could have a detrimental effect on the lacquer and veneers!).
Take reasonable precautions to protect the finish such as using place mats
Your furniture should also be kept away from excess sunlight, dampness, heat and cold.
Spills should be removed Immediately.
Metal handles and castors should not be polished with metal or brass polish as they have been lacquered to retain their appearance.  A damp cloth and then a dry duster to polish is all that is required.
Do not place rubber or vinyl objects directly on the surfaces as they may cause a chemical reaction, damaging the finish.

Our products are finished in modern lacquers which are far more durable than old fashioned French polish.

The Best Way to Dust your Furniture

Regular dusting of all your furniture is recommended to keep dust from accumulating. Should dust accumulate use a soft, lint-free cotton cloth such as an old t-shirt. Very lightly dampen (NEVER wet) the cloth with water. NEVER use a dry cloth since it will grind the dust into the finish causing scratches.  

What is the best way to get rid of white rings or watermarks on my wood furniture?
It is possible to repair watermarks, we however advise enlisting the services of an expert such as a french polisher. Please do not attempt this delicate job yourself.
