With any of your furniture, avoid extremes of humidity and temperature, which accelerate cracking and checking of finish, and loosen joints and veneer, specifically on wood items. For cleaning follow these steps.
Vacuum or dust with a soft cloth. Occasionally use a cloth just barely dampened to wipe the surface to pick up more dust, and immediately wipe with a dry cloth or soft paper towel.
Do not use spray waxes and polishes on surfaces, as they will leave a higher gloss and some silicone, which may make future refinishing more difficult. You can buy a variety of furniture cleaning products in any furniture store or they can suggest where the best products are sold. Remember to always read the label to make sure the product is compatible with your furniture.

The eastern end of North Carolina juts out from the East Coast of the United States into the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf Stream, making the state prone to Atlantic hurricanes, which tend to strike the state every three to four years. Running along the entire coast of North Carolina, serving as a buffer against the Atlantic, is a long chain of barrier islands (the Outer Banks), with constantly shifting sand dunes, from which project three famous capes—Hatteras, Lookout, and Fear. Between the islands and the shoreline stretch lagoons—Albemarle Sound and Pamlico Sound are the largest—that receive the Chowan, Roanoke, Tar, Neuse, and Cape Fear rivers. Wilmington, the chief port, is at the head of the Cape Fear estuary. The mainland bordering the sounds is low, flat tidewater country, often swampy, even beyond the Dismal Swamp in the north. In the upper coastal plain the land rises gradually from the tidewater, reaching 500 ft (152 m) at the fall line.
