Care and Maintenance
Tulipwood skirting, typically used for interior applications, benefits from a protective surface finish to guard against wear and tear. To maintain its appearance:
- Clean with a soft cloth or a mild soap and water solution for regular upkeep.
- Avoid abrasive or harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the surface finish.
- Refresh painted or stained finishes as needed; lightly sand and reapply to maintain durability and enhance the appearance over time.
