With proper care and attention, your humidor will stay in its integrity for years to come. Following some very basic tips for maintenance will ensure that your humidor is constantly performing as it should:

Storage:

• Store your humidor on a flat even surface.
• This will prevent it from being knocked over.
• Never store your humidor in direct sunlight. This may fade the wood and heat the inside of the humidor past the safe range.
• Prevent placing objects on top of the humidor.
• Keep your humidor in an area that is void of danger from being knocked over.
• Do not place the humidor near a source of heat or cold, like a window or fireplace. You will want to keep the humidor in an area that is void of temperature fluctuations to ensure the humidity level stays constant without influence from outside ranges in temperature. Additionally, keeping a humidor with direct sunlight might fade the wood over time.

Cleaning:

• Always use a soft clean cloth when cleaning.
• Furniture polish and beeswax are good products which can be safely used on the outside of your humidor to either clean or polish it. 
• Keep the humidor dust-free as much as possible.
• Never use any kind of cleaning solutions for the inside of your humidor.
• Do not wipe the interior of your humidor with tap water, as it will ruin the wood
