Keep the chessboard dry at all times, and avoid any form
of exposure to water. Water damages the board.

Keep the board away from extreme temperatures, humidity, an air con-
ditioner, and a fan. Humidity makes your board expand and contract.

Keep the chessboard away from direct sunlight or harsh artificial light
to avoid damages.
If the chessboard gets scratched, clean the smudges with a little damp
piece of fabric.
If the chessboard feels sticky, wipe with a piece of cloth.
Dust regularly using a dry, soft piece of fabric.
Use beeswax or 3M polish once a month for the shine of the board as
the boards have HV melamine lacquer coating on them.

Keep chess pieces away from humidity and heat. It can cause cracking,
discolouration, and warping of chess pieces.
Do not use 3M polish for chessmen.
