Wipe the product periodically with a soft cloth wrung out in a solution of water and neutral detergent. Keep chemical exposure to a minimum. Wipe the surface after cleaning to remove any remaining moisture, but avoid rubbing to prevent polishing. If you leave things on the surface, it is recommended that you use felt surfaces or other material that does not leave marks. Scratches from sharp objects are more visible on surfaces with pigmented lacquer than those with clear lacquer.
