1. Wooden furniture maintenance guide
Wooden 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, strengthen protection and prevent drying out.
Avoid products containing ammonia or aggressive solvents that could alter the finish.
Precautions for use
Keep furniture away from direct heat sources (radiators, fireplaces) and prolonged exposure to sunlight to avoid warping, cracking or discoloration.
Always use placemats, coasters and trivets to protect surfaces from heat, moisture and scratches.
Wipe up any liquid spills immediately to avoid marks and infiltration.
2. Fabric furniture maintenance 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 using 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 stains 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 fabric cleaner or call a professional service.
Always test the product on an inconspicuous area before full application.
Fabric protection
Apply an anti-stain or waterproofing protective spray specially designed for upholstery fabrics to enhance dirt resistance.
Avoid direct sunlight exposure to prevent fabric discoloration.
Strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions for washing removable covers and ensure complete drying before replacing them to avoid residual moisture.
3. Metal furniture maintenance guide
Metal furniture is distinguished by its robustness and modern aesthetic. Proper maintenance guarantees 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 tougher dirt, use a mild, non-abrasive detergent, then 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 humidity 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.
Precautions for use
Avoid knocks 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.
