Will a damp cloth damage my wooden table?

Question

I have a new wooden table in my kitchen from a name brand manufacturer. Will the wood and or finish get damaged if I wipe it down with a damp cloth to clean up crumbs?

Thanks for any advice

Answer 1

A damp cloth will not damage your wooden table as long as you wipe it dry. Sitting water or puddles of water will damage the wood.

Answer 2

Hi there. It won't ruin your table if you dry the table with a dry dish towel right after. When I bought my wood table I just cleaned it with furniture polish all the time. Then when the newness wore off i just used a wet clothe and dried it right off. I couldn't ever tell a difference.
