How to Care

COMPREHENSIVE FURNITURE CARE GUIDE:
GENERAL FURNITURE MAINTENANCE:
  • Protect all furniture from prolonged sun exposure.
  • Use only mild, furniture-specific cleaners; harsh chemicals can damage surfaces.
  • For removable cushions, rotate and flip them regularly to even out wear.
LEATHER FURNITURE CARE:
  • Understand the type of leather (full or semi-aniline) to apply appropriate treatments.
  • Use a brush attachment when vacuuming to avoid scratches.
  • Condition leather with suitable products like Otterwax to keep it supple.
  • For spills, blot gently with a dry cloth, then use a slightly damp cloth for cleaning.
FABRIC FURNITURE UPKEEP:
  • Vacuum fabric furniture routinely with a clean vacuum and a clean head.
  • Empty the vacuum canister before use to ensure thorough cleaning.
GENERAL WOOD CARE:
  • Use a damp cloth for dusting solid and veneered wood, and mild soap for cleaning.
  • Handle solid wood and veneer differently; the former can be sanded and restained, the latter requires consistent care.
  • Act swiftly on stains, utilize coasters, and dry wooden surfaces to prevent watermarks.
CLEANING SPECIFIC MATERIALS:
  • Solid Woods: Clean with a damp cloth; address sticky areas with soapy water.
  • Teak: Shield from environmental stress; clean with a damp cloth and teak oil as needed.
  • Veneered Wood: Less sensitive to humidity; clean with soapy water, no sanding possible.
  • Metal: Usually steel, can be cleaned with soapy water; dry thoroughly.
  • Glass: Chemical cleaners are safe; use soft cloth or paper towel.
  • Marble: Clean spills immediately to avoid absorption; avoid acidic cleaners.
LONG-TERM FURNITURE CARE:
  • Natural aging adds character to wood; for maintenance, use touch-up tools like wax fillers.
WOOD FURNITURE ADDITIONAL TIPS:
  • Immediately address stains, use coasters, and dry wood after cleaning.
