To help you maintain the beauty and functionality of your pieces, we’ve provided care and maintenance instructions for various materials. Proper care will ensure your furniture remains a timeless part of your space.

General Care

• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight may cause fading or discolouration.
• Temperature Control: Maintain a stable indoor environment. Avoid placing furniture near heat sources, air conditioning vents, or damp areas.
• Cleaning Tips: Dust regularly using a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth to prevent buildup. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Protective Pads: Use felt pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches on flooring and coasters to protect surfaces from heat and moisture.

 

Leather

• Regular Cleaning: Wipe down with a clean, soft cloth weekly to remove dust. For deeper cleaning, use a leather-specific cleaner.
• Moisturise: Apply a leather conditioner every 6–12 months to maintain softness and prevent cracking.
• Avoid Liquids: Clean spills immediately with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water or cleaning agents that can stain or dry out the leather.
• Protect from Sunlight: Keep leather furniture away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or drying.

 

Natural Stones

• Sealing: Ensure the stone is sealed before use. Reapply sealant every 6–12 months, depending on usage.
• Cleaning: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid acidic cleaners like vinegar or lemon, which can etch the surface.
• Prevent Stains: Use coasters, placemats, and trivets to avoid water rings, oil stains, or heat damage.
• Immediate Spill Care: Clean spills immediately, especially liquids like wine, coffee, or citrus juices.

 

Fabric

• Vacuum Regularly: Use a vacuum with an upholstery attachment to remove dust and debris.
• Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot (don’t rub) with a clean, dry cloth. Use mild soap and water for spot cleaning if necessary, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
• Professional Cleaning: For deep cleaning, consult a professional upholstery cleaner every 1–2 years.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Fabrics can fade or weaken when exposed to direct sunlight over time.

 

Solid Wood

• Dusting: Use a soft, dry cloth to dust regularly. Avoid using microfiber cloths, which can scratch the surface.
• Cleaning: Wipe with a damp cloth followed by a dry one. Use a gentle wood cleaner if needed, avoiding excess moisture.
• Polishing: Apply wood polish or wax every 6–12 months to maintain the finish and protect the surface.
• Avoid Scratches: Use coasters, placemats, and tablecloths to protect against scratches and stains.

 

Wood Veneer Finishes

• Gentle Cleaning: Wipe with a slightly damp cloth and immediately dry with a soft, clean cloth. Avoid soaking the veneer or applying heavy pressure.
• Avoid Heat & Moisture: Keep away from extreme heat, water, or damp environments to prevent warping or peeling.
• Protection: Use coasters and placemats to prevent scratches, stains, or heat damage.

 

Stainless Steel & Metals

• Dusting: Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust and fingerprints.
• Cleaning: For smudges, use a stainless steel cleaner or mild soap and water. Always wipe in the direction of the grain.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use steel wool, abrasive pads, or harsh cleaners, as they can scratch the surface.
• Protection: Dry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent water spots or rust.
