Use a soft cloth to dust and remove particles from wood surfaces. Also wipe away any spills, splatters, or stains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Weekly<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose a set day you can designate for your deep weekly cleaning. Spray and wipe down your wood surfaces using gentle detergent or a specialty cleaner. Pay particular attention to dust, dirt, and grime that settles into crevices and hard to reach spots. Remember that lightly misting the surfaces with cleaner is key\u2014too much moisture can damage the wood finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Monthly<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each month or at least every quarter, give the wood surfaces around your home a good polish. This helps buff away light surface scratches and fortifies the finish.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Annually<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This includes making any necessary repairs to hardware, scratches, dents, or other damage.
