Be Environmentally Conscious
When it comes to the environment your furniture is in, you want to remain consistent. Keep furniture out of heavy sunlight so the furniture does not fade. Also, the temperature should remain consistent to avoid the wood from warping, so steer clear of radiators or air conditioning blowing directly onto furniture.

Watch How You Dress Your Furniture
You want to be sure you're aware of what is going on your furniture. Some woods are more sensitive than others, but  a good rule of thumb to follow is if you think it could scratch it, it will. Even fabrics should be rotated and switched out from time to time. Most importantly, always use coasters and avoid heat.

Cleaning & Polishing
It's important to have a schedule for cleaning and polishing any high end wood finishes. Generally, you should just be wiping down the wood with a clean, soft, dry cloth. Go with the grain. When it does come time to polish your furniture, choose a quality polish with high mineral content. Feed-N-Wax wood polish and conditioner by Howards received excellent reviews from thefurnitureconnoisseur.com.
