Wood Furniture Care
Wood and wood veneers are a natural product which display unique characteristics including veins, knots and colours. To keep your new purchase looking its best we suggest the following care and maintenance.
- Regularly dust with a soft cloth to avoid dust build up.
- Immediately clean any spillages using a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately.
- Keep furniture out of direct light and heat sources and try to limit variations in humidity and temperature. This will limit the natural movement of timber.
- We suggest moving objects (such as books, vases) on wooden surfaces to avoid discolouration.
- Do not use abrasive silicone-based products or abrasive sponges or detergents
- Protect the surface when placing hot objects such as tea or coffee by placing a coaster underneath.
- Protect your floors by lifting, not dragging furniture
Fabric Furniture Care
Depending on the fabric type and how you maintain it will determine how long it will last. Both natural and synthetic fibres can fade and are susceptible to pilling, this is not a fault of the fabric. Synthetic fibres are more durable than natural. To keep your new purchase looking its best we suggest the following care and maintenance.
- Periodically clean your furniture to remove dust using a soft brush or low-suction vacuum cleaner with an upholstery brush attachment.
- Immediately clean up any spillages with a dry, colour-fast cloth Do not use any strong detergents or cleaning chemicals. Clean in a circular movement, do not rub the fabric. Pre-test the care product in a hidden area to ensure the product is compatible with the fabric.
- Keep furniture out of direct light and heat sources and try to limit variations in humidity and temperature. This will help to minimise colour loss and fibre damage.
- Pilling can occur and is not seen as a fault. The use of a lint shave or fabric stone can be used if this occurs.
- Keep your furry friends away from direct contact with the fabric to prevent scratching and added dirt.
- Avoid transfer of dyes from certain clothing and medicated creams onto the fabric surface.
- Lift the furniture from its base. Do not drag or lift by armrests. Do not push or pull, jump on the furniture or sit on the arms.
- We recommend professional upholstery cleaning, especially if the whole piece requires cleaning and you are in doubt as to how to clean.
