An Elsie Green reclaimed wood farm table brings warmth, history, and character into your home. Crafted from salvaged European wood, each table has natural grain variation, patina, and markings that make it truly one of a kind. With the right care, your table will continue to age beautifully for years to come.

Daily Cleaning Made Simple

Reclaimed wood does not need complicated maintenance. For everyday care, wipe the surface with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust and crumbs.

For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild dish soap and warm water. Make sure the cloth is only slightly damp, not wet. Always dry the surface immediately after cleaning. Standing water can damage the wood over time.

Avoid harsh chemicals such as bleach, ammonia, or silicone based sprays. These products can strip the finish and dull the natural beauty of the wood.

Protect the Surface

Your reclaimed wood farm table is designed for everyday living, but simple precautions will keep it looking its best.

Use coasters for drinks and trivets for hot dishes. Placemats are helpful for daily meals, especially when serving acidic foods like tomatoes or wine. Clean spills right away by blotting gently with a dry cloth.

Mind the Environment

Wood naturally responds to temperature and humidity changes. Try to keep your home between 40 to 60 percent humidity if possible. Avoid placing your table in direct sunlight or right next to heating vents and fireplaces.

Refresh When Needed

Over time, you may want to apply a clear furniture wax to nourish and protect the finish. Apply a thin layer with a soft cloth, allow it to set according to the product directions, then buff gently.

Let It Tell Its Story

Small marks and subtle wear are part of the charm of reclaimed wood. Instead of striving for a flawless surface, embrace the evolving character. With simple, consistent care, your reclaimed wood farm table will remain the heart of your home for generations.
