Care & maintenance
Identify the surface and the problem before choosing a treatment.
A clear place to start.
Keep the material name, finish and any applied treatment with the care instructions. When a mark appears, record the location, timing, likely exposure and products already used. Good information helps the supplier or restoration professional assess the next step.
Different changes can look similar in a photograph. A stain, surface damage and general loss of gloss should not automatically receive the same treatment. Avoid repeated experiments on an unidentified mark.
