How to care for wood:

Wipe regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
To revive the wood surface, use a little wood oil and rub gently in the direction of the grain. Avoid over-wetting the wood. You can dust the bowls of the objects with a brush.

Location of objects:

The location of objects in your home also has a significant impact on their appearance. Objects made of wood and brass do not belong in rooms with high humidity, such as the bathroom. Many people store their jewelry in the bathroom, but this is not suitable for either the jewelry or the objects, as high humidity has an adverse effect on wood, brass, silver and other materials.
