Amish furniture paint durability test
Details about painting Amish furniture. The Amish furniture we handle has a paint coating that repels dirt and water. It is basically maintenance-free. When wiping, use a slightly damp cloth. If you are unable to remove stubborn stains, we recommend using natural detergents to protect the paint coating, avoiding chemical detergents.


Regarding the durability of paint coatings, here is some information provided by a supplier. This is the durability test score set by the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturer Association .

I'm curious about what kind of tests the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturer Association does, so I'll look into it later. However, it seems to be a fairly authoritative organization in the American furniture manufacturing industry, so please use it as a reference.
