Furniture Care Guide

1. Wood Furniture Care Guide

Wood 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 a deeper clean, 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 aggressive solvents that could damage 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 liquids immediately to prevent stains and infiltration.

2. Fabric Furniture Care Guide

Fabric-covered furniture brings 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 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 blot with a clean cloth, without rubbing, using a mixture of lukewarm water and neutral soap.

For more stubborn stains, use a suitable textile 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 specifically designed for upholstery fabrics to enhance resistance to dirt.

Avoid direct sunlight exposure to prevent fabric fading.

Strictly follow manufacturer's instructions for washing removable covers and ensure they are completely dry before putting them back on to avoid any residual moisture.

3. Metal Furniture Care Guide

Metal furniture stands out for its robustness and modern aesthetics. Proper maintenance guarantees its durability and preserves the quality of its 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 drying thoroughly.

Avoid any 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 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 the furniture and the floors.

Do not place extremely hot or heavy objects directly on metal surfaces to avoid deformation or damage.
