Furniture Care Guide

1. Wooden Furniture Care Guide

Wooden furniture requires regular maintenance to preserve its natural beauty and ensure its longevity.

Daily Cleaning

Gently dust with a soft microfiber cloth, preferably dry. For a deeper clean, use a slightly damp cloth with a 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 damage the finish.

Usage Precautions

Keep furniture away from direct heat sources (radiators, fireplaces) and prolonged sunlight to prevent warping, cracking, or discoloration. Always use coasters, placemats, and trivets to protect surfaces from heat, moisture, and scratches. Immediately wipe up any spilled liquids to avoid marks and infiltration.

2. Fabric Furniture Care Guide

Upholstered fabric furniture adds warmth and comfort, but requires regular maintenance to preserve 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 an appropriate fabric cleaner or call a professional service. Always test the product on an inconspicuous area before full application.

Fabric Protection

Apply a stain protector or waterproofing spray specifically designed for upholstery fabrics to improve dirt resistance. Avoid direct sun exposure to prevent fabric fading. Strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions for washing removable covers and ensure complete drying before putting them back in place to avoid residual moisture.

3. Metal Furniture Care 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 marks. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild, non-abrasive detergent and rinse with a damp cloth before drying thoroughly. Avoid any product 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 anticorrosion barrier.

Usage Precautions

Avoid shocks 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.
