Care Tips and Advice

Dust Regularly:
Use a microfiber cloth or soft duster to remove dust and debris. Dust buildup can scratch surfaces over time, especially on wood and glass. Tip: For hard-to-reach areas, use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment.
Avoid Direct Sunlight:
UV rays can fade fabrics and damage wood finishes. Position furniture away from windows or use UV-blocking window films or curtains. Tip: Rotate furniture periodically to ensure even exposure.
Lift, Don’t Drag:
Dragging furniture can damage both the piece and your floors. Lift furniture or use furniture sliders for heavy items. Tip: Fold a towel or use old socks under legs to slide furniture easily.
Maintain Proper Humidity:
Extreme humidity can warp wood and crack leather. Use a humidifier or dehumidifier to keep indoor humidity between 40-60%.

Care by Material

Vacuum Weekly:
Use a vacuum with an upholstery attachment to remove dust, crumbs, and pet hair. Pay attention to crevices and seams. Tip: Use a lint roller for quick touch-ups.
Blot Spills Immediately:
Use a clean, damp cloth to blot spills gently. Avoid rubbing, as it can push stains deeper into the fabric. Tip: For stubborn stains, use a mild detergent mixed with water or a fabric-specific cleaner.
Rotate and Fluff Cushions:
Rotate seat cushions weekly to distribute wear evenly. Fluff back cushions to maintain their shape.
Professional Cleaning:
Schedule professional cleaning every 1-2 years, especially for high-traffic areas, to remove deep-seated dirt and allergens.

Dust Frequently:
Wipe leather surfaces with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust and prevent it from settling into the pores.
Condition Every 6 Months:
Use a leather conditioner to keep the material soft and prevent cracking. Avoid oil-based products, which can attract dirt. Tip: Always test conditioner on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Avoid Direct Heat and Sunlight:
Keep leather furniture away from radiators, fireplaces, and direct sunlight to prevent drying and cracking.
Clean Spills Immediately:
Blot spills with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaps, which can strip the leather’s natural oils.

Dust with a Microfiber Cloth:
Dust wood surfaces weekly to prevent scratches. Avoid feather dusters, which can leave behind debris.
Polish Sparingly:
Use a high-quality wood polish every 3-6 months to nourish the wood and restore its shine. Over-polishing can lead to buildup. Tip: Test polish on a small, hidden area first.
Protect from Heat and Moisture:
Use coasters, placemats, and trivets to prevent heat marks and water rings. Wipe spills immediately with a dry cloth.
Check for Loose Joints:
Inspect wooden furniture periodically for loose screws or joints. Tighten them to maintain structural integrity.

Clean with a Glass Cleaner:
Use a streak-free glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth for glass surfaces. Avoid abrasive materials that can scratch.
Polish Metal Frames:
Use a metal polish to remove tarnish and restore shine. Wipe with a soft cloth to prevent streaks.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals:
Use gentle cleaners to avoid damaging finishes. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap and water solution.

Winter Care:
Use a humidifier to prevent wood from drying out. Keep furniture away from heaters to avoid warping or cracking.
Summer Care:
Protect furniture from humidity by using dehumidifiers or moisture absorbers. Rotate cushions to prevent uneven fading.
