Westside Stained Rocker

To preserve our standard finish on stained or painted furniture, it is highly recommended that your rocker be placed either indoors or in a protected environment such as a covered porch. The piece needs to be protected from rain and exceeding amounts of direct sunlight. Our pieces need the same attention as any other solid wood furniture. A monthly cleaning with any quality household furniture polish will keep your furniture looking new for many years to come. Should you have issues with the finish such as weathering, general wear, mold or mildew, etc. or to just refresh the look of your product, please see the following general recommendations for application of an additional top coat. To remove mold and mildew – dilute one part bleach in four parts water and apply with a soft cloth. If necessary, repeat the process after the product is dry.Replacing the topcoat after this procedure should reduce the probability of mold or mildew returning for some time. Touch up any blemishes or imperfections that may have occurred. Lightly scuff sand the entire product by hand with 220 grit sand paper. This process will scratch the surface allowing the new top coat to bond. Use a tack cloth to remove any dust left from sanding, and then wipe down with a good solvent cleaner, such as denatured alcohol. Apply a coat of Acrylic Crystal Clear or Polyurethane (Warning: Do not use polyurethane on white furniture as it will turn it yellow). Please refer to the manufacturer’s recommendation for application and drying times. Apply a second coat for added protection. This process can be used on painted or stained items, although a coat of paint may be preferred on painted products that need to be refreshed.
