Maintaining shellac finishes is simple with the right techniques. Shellac’s durability makes it a popular choice, but proper care will ensure it remains in top condition.

Regular dusting with a soft cloth will keep the surface clean. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals, as shellac is sensitive to moisture and solvents. If cleaning is necessary, use a damp cloth followed by a dry one to remove any residue.

For scratches or dull spots, shellac can be easily repaired. Lightly sand the affected area with fine-grit sandpaper and apply a new coat of shellac. The new layer will blend seamlessly with the old, restoring the finish’s original beauty.

With minimal maintenance, your shellac finishes will retain their luster and protect your projects for years to come.
