Follow the product's care instructions for its particular wood and finish. Where wiping is permitted, remove loose fur first and use the recommended cleaning method without soaking joints or leaving liquid on the surface.
Dry any moisture promptly. Do not apply furniture polish, essential oils, abrasive cleaners or disinfectants simply because they are suitable for another wooden item in your home. Compatibility with the finish and suitability around cats both matter. Keep the cat away while cleaning and until the surface is ready for use according to the cleaner's directions. Pay attention to areas beneath removable cushions, where moisture or debris may go unnoticed. If a stain persists, ask the supplier rather than scrubbing through the coating. A damaged finish or lifting board edge needs assessment, not concealment beneath fresh bedding.
Apply an approved cleaner to the cloth when the instructions permit, rather than spraying towards joints and threaded fittings. This gives better control over where moisture goes and makes it easier to wipe the surface dry afterwards.
