Furniture Care and Maintenance Guide

1. Introduction

This guide provides practical recommendations to help ensure proper care and extended durability of furniture purchased through our website.

Appropriate maintenance helps preserve the appearance, functionality, and comfort of furniture materials, in line with products designed for household use.

2. Wooden Furniture

Solid wood and wood veneer furniture require regular care to maintain their natural appearance.

• Clean using a soft, dry cloth

• For stains, use a slightly damp cloth with lukewarm water and a mild cleaner

• Avoid abrasive products, alcohol, or ammonia-based cleaners

• Protect furniture from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent warping or discoloration

• Use coasters or placemats to avoid marks caused by heat or moisture

3. Metal Furniture

Metal frames and surfaces should be kept clean and dry to prevent oxidation.

• Wipe with a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately

• For stubborn dirt, use a mild, non-corrosive cleaner

• Avoid abrasive sponges and solvent-based products

• Periodically check screws and fasteners and tighten them if necessary

4. Upholstered Furniture

Fabric-upholstered furniture requires regular maintenance to maintain hygiene and appearance.

• Vacuum regularly using a soft-bristle attachment

• For stains, gently blot with a clean, slightly damp cloth without rubbing

• Use only upholstery-specific cleaning products after testing on a hidden area

• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent fading

5. Leather and Faux Leather Furniture

Natural and synthetic leather surfaces require gentle and consistent care.

• Remove dust using a soft, dry cloth

• Clean periodically with a slightly damp cloth and a leather-specific cleaner

• Never use solvents, alcohol, or harsh detergents

• Keep away from heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent cracking or drying

6. Glass Furniture

Glass surfaces require special attention to maintain clarity and safety.

• Clean using a microfiber cloth and a glass-specific cleaner

• Avoid abrasive sponges and ammonia-containing cleaners

• Dry thoroughly to prevent streaks and water residue

• Do not place heavy or sharp objects directly on glass surfaces

7. Storage and Protection

To extend the lifespan of furniture, we recommend the following:

• Avoid environments that are excessively humid or overly dry

• Use dehumidifiers when necessary

• Do not place furniture near radiators, heaters, or direct air conditioning airflow

• Cover infrequently used furniture with breathable fabric to protect from dust and light

8. Safe Use Guidelines

Proper use contributes to furniture longevity and household safety.

• Do not overload shelves or drawers beyond the recommended weight limits

• Do not use tables or chairs as climbing supports

• Regularly check the stability of wall-mounted furniture

• Keep moving parts and hinges out of reach of children
