Water Based Wood Stain
General Finishes Water Based Wood Stains have all the advantages of oil base stains: they spread easily, can be repaired, can be blended effortlessly, and have plenty of open time. The thicker formula allows controlled penetration, which will reduce blotching on hard-to-stain woods such as Aspen, Pine and Maple. With the easy water clean-up, faster drying times, and the added safety of a non-combustible product, this waterborne formula will make wood staining an enjoyable experience for you.

Living with Real Wood furniture is easy and maintaining your furniture will help your new purchase today become an heirloom of tomorrow. Follow these easy steps to perserve your new quality furniture. 
To clean simply use a soft cloth such as an old white t-shirt moistened in Orange Oil Polish. Reuse the same cloth for light dusting. Click here to view Polishes and Cleaners.
Protect your finish
NEVER use glass or household cleaners on finished furniture. Ammonia will chemically attack and damage the finish.
Prevent Yellowing
Do not use commercial waxes and spray polishes. Do not place in direct sunlight. Polish items frequently if exposed to direct sunlight.
Prevent Splitting
Maintain even humidity conditions in your home.
Prevent Damage
Do not place hot pots and laptops directly on surface. Laptops can get extemely hot on the bottom, just like a hot pot. When left on a wood surface for an extended period, damage may occur. Use a trivet or placemat.
Wipe up Spills
Wipe up spills immediately and dry completely with soft cloth. Do not clean wood surfaces with a wet sponge. Cleaning with water on a day to day basis will strip the finish off furniture. The finishes of today are designed to withstand spills as long as they are wiped up and not left to dry.
Size does matter when shopping for furniture
Measure Your Room Before choosing furniture, consider the windows, closets, heating vents and electrical outlets in the room. Does a door open into the space? Next, measure the perimeter of the room and draw a simple floor plan to plot your furniture placement. Note the size and placement of your room's standard furnishings. Don't forget the details. A bench or extra storage chest can make a size difference in any room.Measure your Components
Measure your television and other components that you would like to place in your furniture. If you have special collectibles - a fine piece of Lladro or a special vase - note the measurements. Always buy your television before your furniture and have the outside dimensions available. Width x Depth x Height. Manufacture television sizes vary widely, and the "size" television has no reflection on the actual width and height of the TV.
Measure for Delivery
It is important that your furniture be delivered through all entryways, elevators and up all stairways. Measure the height and width of your 
entryways, including staircases, hallways, elevator doors and interiors. Make note of any fixtures, decorative moldings, interior walls, ceiling heights, stairwells and banisters that may pose an obstacle once inside. Consider the furniture to be delivered and determine if it can go straight through entryways or if it will have to go in at an angle or on end. Please consult with a salesperson if you have even the slightest doubt. We can help you determine if the furniture can be delivered into your room, and we can suggest products can be ordered in two pieces for easier access.
