1. Wood Furniture Maintenance Guide
Wooden 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 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.
Avoid products containing ammonia or harsh solvents that could alter the finish.
Usage precautions
Keep furniture away from direct heat sources (radiators, fireplaces) and prolonged sun exposure to prevent warping, cracking, or discoloration.
Always use placemats, coasters, and trivets to protect surfaces from heat, moisture, and scratches.
Wipe up any spilled liquid immediately to prevent stains and penetration.
2. Fabric Furniture Maintenance Guide
Fabric-covered furniture brings warmth and comfort but requires regular maintenance to preserve its original appearance and prevent premature wear.
Regular cleaning
Vacuum at least once a week using a soft nozzle 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 dab with a clean cloth, without rubbing, using a mixture of lukewarm water and neutral soap.
For more stubborn stains, use a suitable fabric cleaner or call a professional service.
Always test the product on an inconspicuous area before full application.
Fabric protection
Apply a stain-protective or waterproofing spray specially designed for upholstery fabrics to enhance dirt resistance.
Avoid direct sun exposure to prevent fabric discoloration.
Strictly follow 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 is distinguished by its robustness and modern aesthetic. Proper maintenance ensures its durability and preserves the quality of the coating.
Cleaning and routine 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, then rinse with a damp cloth before thoroughly drying.
Avoid any product containing acids, solvents, or corrosive agents.
Corrosion prevention
Always dry metal surfaces after cleaning, as prolonged humidity 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 avoid deformation or alteration.
