How do I clean and protect a bow-front desk surface from scratches and wear?

For laminate bow-front surfaces, a damp cloth with mild soap handles daily cleaning; avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that will dull the finish. Protect the high-use center zone of the curve (where your arms rest during computer use) with a custom-cut desk pad or a half-moon desk mat sized to the bow radius. For veneer bow-front surfaces, use a wood conditioner quarterly and always wipe with the grain direction to avoid cross-grain scratches.
