1. Wood Furniture Maintenance Guide
Wood furniture requires regular maintenance to preserve its natural beauty and ensure its longevity.
Daily Cleaning
Gently dust with a soft microfiber cloth, ideally dry.
For deeper 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 wood oil 2 to 4 times a year to maintain shine, enhance protection, and prevent drying out.
Avoid products containing ammonia or harsh solvents that could damage the finish.
Usage Precautions
Keep furniture away from direct heat sources (radiators, fireplaces) and prolonged sunlight to prevent warping, cracking, or discoloration.
Always use placemats, coasters, and hot pads to protect surfaces from heat, moisture, and scratches.
Wipe up any liquid spills immediately to prevent stains and penetration.
2. Fabric Furniture Maintenance Guide
Fabric-covered furniture brings warmth and comfort but requires regular maintenance to retain 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 pat removable cushions to maintain their shape and prevent dust accumulation inside.
Stain Treatment
Treat any stain immediately: gently blot with a clean cloth, without rubbing, using a mixture of lukewarm water and neutral soap.
For more stubborn stains, use an appropriate fabric cleaner or call a professional service.
Always test the product on an inconspicuous area before full application.
Fabric Protection
Apply a stain protection or waterproofing spray specifically designed for upholstery fabrics to improve dirt resistance.
Avoid direct sun exposure to prevent fabric discoloration.
Strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions for washing removable covers and ensure complete drying before putting them back on 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 its coating.
Routine Cleaning and Maintenance
Regularly wipe the surface with a slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove dust and smudges.
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.
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 prevent deformation or alteration.
