How to Maintain the Natural Beauty of Solid Wood Furniture

At True Grain, we build solid-wood furniture designed to last for generations — but proper care keeps it beautiful for years to come.

To maintain natural lustre, dust weekly using a soft cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild, wood-safe soap and water solution, then dry immediately. Avoid silicone polishes and harsh chemicals — they damage the finish over time.

Every 6–12 months, condition with a natural oil finish, such as tung or linseed, to restore depth and protection. Keep humidity between 35–45% to prevent warping or cracking.

When cared for properly, True Grain dining tables, vanities, and cabinetry retain their strength and patina for decades — a true testament to handcrafted Ontario hardwood furniture.
