1. Wooden Furniture Maintenance Guide
Wooden furniture requires regular maintenance to preserve its natural beauty and ensure its longevity.
Daily cleaning
Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth, ideally dry.
For a deeper clean, use a slightly damp cloth with a neutral soap, then wipe immediately to prevent moisture absorption.
Wood protection and moisturisation
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 alter the finish.
Usage precautions
Keep furniture away from direct heat sources (radiators, fireplaces) and prolonged exposure to sunlight to avoid warping, cracking or discolouration.
Always use placemats, coasters and pot holders to protect surfaces from heat, moisture and scratches.
Wipe up any liquid spills immediately to avoid marks and infiltration.
2. Fabric Furniture Maintenance Guide
Fabric-covered furniture adds 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 nozzle to remove dust, crumbs and particles that could damage the fibres.
Shake or pat removable cushions to maintain their shape and prevent dust from accumulating inside.
Stain treatment
Treat any stain immediately: dab gently 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-resistant or waterproofing protective spray specially designed for upholstery fabrics to enhance dirt resistance.
Avoid direct sunlight exposure to prevent fabric discolouration.
Strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions for washing removable covers and ensure complete drying before replacing them 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 the coating.
Cleaning and routine maintenance
Wipe the surface regularly 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 drying thoroughly.
Avoid products 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 reinforce 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.
