1. Wood Furniture Care Guide
Wood furniture requires regular maintenance to preserve its natural beauty and ensure its longevity.
Daily cleaning
Dust gently with a soft, ideally dry, microfiber cloth.
For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then wipe dry immediately to prevent moisture absorption.
Protecting and moisturizing the wood
Apply a natural wax or nourishing wood oil 2 to 4 times a year to maintain shine, enhance protection, and prevent drying out.
Avoid products containing ammonia or harsh solvents, which could damage the finish.
Precautions for use
Keep furniture away from direct heat sources (radiators, fireplaces) and prolonged sunlight to avoid warping, cracking, or discoloration.
Always use placemats, coasters, and trivets to protect surfaces from heat, moisture, and scratches.
Wipe up any liquid spills immediately to prevent stains and infiltration.
2. Fabric Furniture Care Guide
Fabric-upholstered furniture adds warmth and comfort, but requires regular care to maintain its original appearance and prevent premature wear.
Regular cleaning
Vacuum at least once a week using a soft brush attachment to remove dust, crumbs, and particles that could damage the fibers.
Shake or fluff removable cushions to maintain their shape and prevent dust buildup inside.
Stain removal
Treat any stain immediately: dab gently with a clean cloth, without rubbing, using a mixture of lukewarm water and mild soap.
For tougher stains, use a suitable fabric cleaner or contact a professional service.
Always test the product on an inconspicuous area before full application.
Fabric protection
Apply a stain-resistant or waterproofing spray specifically designed for upholstery fabrics to improve resistance to dirt.
Avoid direct sunlight exposure to prevent the fabric from fading.
Strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions for washing removable covers and ensure they are completely dry before putting them back on to avoid residual moisture.
3. Metal Furniture Care Guide
Metal furniture is known for its durability and modern aesthetic. Proper care ensures its longevity and preserves the quality of the finish.
Cleaning and routine maintenance
Wipe the surface regularly with a slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove dust and marks.
For more stubborn dirt, use a mild, non-abrasive detergent and rinse with a damp cloth before drying thoroughly.
Avoid any product containing acids, solvents, or corrosive agents.
Preventing corrosion
Always dry metal surfaces after cleaning, as prolonged moisture can promote rust.
In humid environments (seaside, bathrooms), regularly apply a thin layer of protective oil or specific wax to reinforce the anti-corrosion barrier.
Precautions for use
Avoid knocks and scratches that could damage the paint or protective coating.
Use felt pads under the legs to protect both the furniture and the floors.
Do not place extremely hot or heavy objects directly on metal surfaces to avoid deformation or damage.
