Follow these simple care and cleaning tips and your indoor furniture will always be an eye-catching centerpiece of your home décor. The finish will last much longer, providing years of enjoyment to you.
- Avoid placing your furniture in direct sunlight, as sunlight causes fading. *Avoid placing furniture directly under windows.
- Maintain the furniture on a regular basis and in accordance by tightening the screw every 2-3 months
- Always wipe your furniture with a dry cloth, after cleaning it with a damp cloth.
- Periodically rotate accessories on furniture so they do not sit in the same spot all the time.
- Use a protective pad when writing with a ballpoint pen on the furniture surface.
- Always use hot pads/mats under hot and/or damp objects.
- Never place furniture close to wood-burning stoves, radiators etc.
- If you use oilcloth or something similar, it should not sit there for more than 24 hours
- Clean up spills immediately. You should always wipe it off as quickly as possible. Water left over a long period of time will cause white spots in the finish. Alcohol, perfume, after-shave and medications can cause severe finish damage.
We recommend dusting frequently with a clean, soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Clean the surface by rubbing in the direction of the grain. We recommend polishing your furniture approximately every six months, using a clean, soft, lint-free cloth and rubbing the polish in the direction of the grain.
Some of our products feature a high-gloss finish. These items require extra care to prevent dust and smudges from being overly apparent. Be especially careful to avoid scratching high gloss finishes by using a feather duster or very soft, clean cloths and wiping with minimal pressure.
Clean up spills immediately, use coasters on table tops under beverages. Use trivets or mats under hot dishes or cookware. Clean with warm water and dry surface immediately after cleaning. Do not use cleaners that contain acid such as bathroom cleaners, grout cleaner, and tile cleaners. Do not use abrasive cleaners in either dry or liquid forms. Use a cleaner and polish formulated for marble surfaces.
Wipe spills immediately with clean cloth or sponge. For spots or stains and daily cleaning, clean with mild non-detergent soap. Rinse well, gently wipe off, and allow to air dry. Cleaning Butter, Oil or Grease from Leather: Wipe leather with a clean cloth, and leave alone. The oil will be absorbed by the leather. DO NOT APPLY WATER. Also, do not use saddle soap, cleaning solvents, furniture polish, oils, varnish, abrasive cleaners, ammonia or any other type of chemical solution.
Dust with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaner. Spray a small amount of glass cleaner onto a lint-free cloth and wipe mirror/glass clean.
To prevent overall soiling, frequent vacuuming or light brushing is recommended. Cushions and pillows should be turned on a weekly basis. Down-filled cushions should be brushed rather than vacuumed. Spot clean, using a mild water-free solvent or dry cleaning product. Only a professional cleaner should undertake a complete overall cleaning. The use of steam or water-based cleaners may cause excessive shrinking or staining. Cleaning Wood Furniture:
Any furniture wood polish that doesn't contain silicone is recommended.
Wipe spills immediately. Maintain with regular dusting and clean with mild soap and water, dry thoroughly and do not use a brass cleaner.
Wipe with a damp cloth, and then immediately wipe off, using a dry cloth. For particularly dirty surfaces, use a cloth, well wrung out after saturating in a washing up liquid solution (1 tsp. to 1 liter of water). Wipe after with a dry cloth. There are no “correct” maintenance products for lacquered surfaces. A coating of lacquer is the same as sealing a surface. It makes it more difficult for liquids, grime and the like to penetrate the wood. A lacquered surface is generally vulnerable. The small scratches, which will eventually appear on lacquered surfaces, cannot be removed. Please be aware that lacquered surfaces require at least 4 weeks to harden, so be particularly careful in this period. Even after the surface has hardened, it will still be vulnerable to hot objects, alcohol and moisture penetration, which can leave white spots.
Normal softening and paddling of the foam and fibers in seat and back cushions, should not be considered a defect, nor confused with abnormal wear and loss of resiliency in cores and filling materials. From time to time, your seats and back cushions will need "fluffing up" as any upholstered furniture does and should be regulated with use.
