Furniture Care Guide
1. Wooden Furniture Maintenance Guide
Wooden furniture requires regular care to preserve its natural beauty and ensure its longevity.
Daily Cleaning
Dust gently with a soft microfiber cloth, ideally dry.
For a more thorough cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth with a neutral soap, then wipe immediately to prevent moisture absorption.
Wood Protection and Hydration
Apply a natural wax or nourishing oil specifically for wood two to four times a year to maintain shine, enhance protection, and prevent drying.
Avoid products containing ammonia or harsh solvents that could alter the finish.
Usage Precautions
Keep furniture away from direct heat sources (radiators, fireplaces) and prolonged sunlight to prevent warping, cracking, or color variations.
Always use placemats, coasters, and trivets to protect the surface from heat, moisture, and scratches.
Wipe up any liquid spills immediately to prevent stains and penetration.
2. Fabric Furniture Maintenance Guide
Fabric-covered 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 nozzle attachment to remove dust, crumbs, and particles that could damage the fibers.
Shake or pat removable cushions to maintain their shape and prevent dust accumulation inside.
Stain Treatment
Treat any stain immediately: gently dab with a clean cloth, without rubbing, using a mixture of lukewarm water and neutral soap.
For more stubborn stains, use an appropriate textile cleaner or contact a professional service.
Always test the product on an inconspicuous area before full application.
Fabric Protection
Apply a stain-protective or waterproofing spray specifically designed for upholstery textiles to enhance resistance to dirt.
Avoid direct sun exposure to prevent fabric fading.
Strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions for washing removable covers and ensure complete drying before putting them back to avoid residual moisture.
3. Metal Furniture Maintenance Guide
Metal furniture stands out for its robustness and modern aesthetic. Proper maintenance ensures its durability and preserves the quality of the coating.
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 products containing acids, solvents, or corrosive agents.
Corrosion Prevention
Always dry metal surfaces after cleaning, as prolonged moisture can promote rust.
In humid environments (seaside, bathroom), regularly apply a thin layer of protective oil or specific wax to strengthen the anti-corrosion barrier.
Usage Precautions
Avoid impacts and scratches that could damage the paint or protective coating.
Use felt pads under the feet to protect both furniture and floors.
Do not place extremely hot or heavy objects directly on metal surfaces to avoid deformation or alteration.
