Furniture Care Instructions

Wooden Furniture

Wood is a timeless material that adds beauty and elegance to any space. To keep your wooden furniture looking its best:

Dust Regularly: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust. For stubborn dust, lightly dampen the cloth with water, but be sure not to soak the wood.
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading and warping. Place your wooden furniture away from direct sunlight or use curtains/blinds to protect it.
Use Coasters and Mats: Always use coasters for drinks and placemats for hot dishes to avoid watermarks or scratches.
Polish Sparingly: Use a high-quality wood polish for occasional cleaning. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials that may damage the finish.
Protect from Moisture: Wood is sensitive to moisture. Ensure that spills are cleaned immediately to avoid watermarks and potential damage.

Upholstered Furniture (Sofas, Chairs, etc.)

Our upholstered furniture pieces are designed for comfort and style, but they require regular care to maintain their appearance:

Vacuum Regularly: Use a vacuum cleaner with an upholstery attachment to remove dirt and dust from your cushions, fabrics, and seams.
Spot Clean: For minor stains, use a fabric cleaner or a mild soap and water solution. Always test on an inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility with the fabric.
Avoid Direct Heat: Keep upholstered furniture away from direct heat sources such as radiators or fireplaces, as it can cause fabric to fade or crack over time.
Fluff Cushions: Regularly fluff and rotate cushions to ensure even wear and maintain their shape.
Avoid Spills: If any liquid is spilled, blot the area immediately with a clean cloth (do not rub) to prevent stains from setting in.

Metal Furniture

Metal furniture is both durable and stylish, but it requires specific care:

Clean with a Soft Cloth: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down metal surfaces. Dry immediately with a clean cloth to prevent rust.
Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Harsh chemicals can strip the finish of metal furniture, so stick to mild soap and water for regular cleaning.
Protect from Moisture: Metal can be prone to rust, especially if exposed to moisture. Avoid leaving metal furniture outdoors during wet weather, or use a protective cover if it’s exposed to rain.
Touch Up Scratches: Minor scratches or chips in paint can be touched up with a matching metal paint.

Garden Furniture Care Instructions

Garden furniture is exposed to the elements, so proper care is essential to preserve its longevity:

Cushions & Upholstery: When not in use, store cushions and upholstery in a dry, cool place or cover them with waterproof covers to prevent dirt, moisture, and fading from sun exposure.
Clean Regularly: Use a mild detergent mixed with water and a soft brush to clean the furniture. Rinse with water and wipe dry.
Protective Covers: Use protective covers during the off-season to protect your garden furniture from rain, snow, and dirt. These covers will help prevent the buildup of grime and preserve the integrity of the furniture.
Storage: If possible, store garden furniture indoors or in a shed during harsh weather conditions such as heavy rain, snow, or frost.
Rust Prevention (for Metal Furniture): If your metal garden furniture is exposed to moisture frequently, apply a rust-resistant coating to protect it from corrosion.

Lamp and Lighting Care Instructions

Proper care of your lamps and lighting fixtures is important to maintain their brightness and aesthetic appeal:

Dust Regularly: Lampshades, bases, and light fixtures should be dusted regularly with a soft cloth to prevent dirt buildup.
Turn Off Before Cleaning: Always turn off the light and allow it to cool before cleaning to avoid burns or electrical issues.
Use the Right Bulbs: Always use bulbs that are rated for your lamp or light fixture to avoid overheating or damage.
Keep Away from Water: Avoid using wet cloths to clean lamps, especially those with electrical components. If necessary, use a damp cloth for a light cleaning, but never soak any part of the lamp.
Check for Damage: Regularly check cords, plugs, and electrical components for signs of wear. If any part of the lamp is damaged, discontinue use and replace it or contact our support for assistance.

Decor Care Instructions

Decor items like vases, figurines, and wall art require a gentler touch:

Dust Regularly: Dust decor pieces regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster.
Handle with Care: Fragile decor items like vases, glass figurines, and sculptures should be handled carefully. Always use both hands when moving them to prevent accidents.
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Keep decor pieces out of direct sunlight to prevent fading or deterioration, especially if they are made from fabrics or materials sensitive to UV light.
Clean Gently: For delicate items, use a soft cloth and mild soap to clean. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that can scratch or damage the finish.

General Care Tips for All Products

Keep Away from Direct Heat: Avoid placing any product too close to heat sources like stoves, radiators, or direct sunlight.
Protect from Abrasives: Use placemats, coasters, or tablecloths to protect surfaces from scratches, stains, and abrasions.
Use Appropriate Cleaners: Always choose the correct cleaner for the material of your furniture or decor. For example, use wood cleaner for wood, fabric cleaner for upholstery, and glass cleaner for glass pieces.
Regular Maintenance: Regularly check for wear and tear on furniture, especially moving parts like hinges and drawers. Tighten screws or bolts as necessary.
