1. Maintenance guide for wooden furniture
Wooden furniture needs regular maintenance to preserve its natural beauty and ensure its longevity.
Daily cleaning
Gently wipe the furniture with a soft microfibre cloth – preferably a dry one.
For a more thorough cleaning, use a cloth lightly dampened with mild soap; then dry the surface immediately to prevent it from absorbing moisture.
Wood protection and care
Apply a natural wax or nourishing wood oil two to four times a year to maintain its shine, enhance its protection, and prevent the wood from drying out.
Avoid products containing ammonia or aggressive solvents, as these can damage the finish.
Usage and precautions
Do not place furniture near direct heat sources (radiators, fireplaces) or expose it to prolonged sunlight to prevent warping, cracking, or discolouration.
Always use placemats, coasters, and pot holders to protect surfaces from heat, moisture, and scratches.
Immediately wipe up spills to prevent stains and moisture absorption.
2. Maintenance guide for upholstered furniture
Upholstered furniture provides warmth and comfort, but requires regular maintenance to retain its original appearance and prevent premature wear.
Regular cleaning
Vacuum at least once a week with a soft attachment to remove dust, crumbs, and dirt particles that can damage the fibres.
Fluff or pat loose cushions to maintain their shape and prevent dust accumulation inside the cushion.
Stain treatment
Treat stains immediately: gently blot – do not rub – with a clean cloth and a mixture of lukewarm water and mild soap.
For stubborn stains, use a suitable fabric cleaner or consult a professional. Always test the product first in an inconspicuous area before applying it to the entire surface.
Fabric care
Use a protective spray (dirt-repellent or water-repellent) specifically designed for upholstery fabrics to enhance dirt resistance.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight to prevent fabric discolouration.
Strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions for washing removable covers and ensure they are completely dry before putting them back on, to prevent residual moisture.
3. Maintenance guide for metal furniture
Metal furniture is characterised by its sturdiness and modern appearance. Proper maintenance ensures durability and preserves the quality of the finish.
Cleaning and daily maintenance
Regularly wipe the surface with a slightly damp microfibre cloth to remove dust and smudges.
For stubborn dirt, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner, rinse with a damp cloth, and then thoroughly dry the surface. Avoid products containing acids, solvents, or caustic substances.
Corrosion prevention
Always dry metal surfaces after cleaning, as prolonged exposure to moisture can promote rust formation.
In humid environments (such as coastal areas or bathrooms), regularly apply a thin layer of protective oil or special wax to strengthen the protective layer against corrosion.
Usage instructions
Avoid bumps and scratches that can damage the paint or protective layer.
Use felt pads under the legs to protect both the furniture and the floor.
Do not place extremely hot or heavy objects directly on metal surfaces to prevent deformation or damage.
