Your furniture purchase is an investment. Here are a few tips to maximize the lifetime of your furniture with a minimal
amount of effort. Properly caring for your furniture can help ensure that it looks great year after year.
Wood Furniture Maintenance:
- Always dust, wipe, and clean with the grain of
the wood.
- Dust with a soft cloth. Dust will scratch the
furniture surface if not removed properly.
- If a polished surface becomes foggy, rub it with a
cloth dipped in a solution of one tablespoon vinegar
to one quart of water. Rub softly with the grain until
the surface is completely dry.
- Soap and water are not advisable for wood surfaces.
Water can penetrate the finish and raise the grain
on wood, causing damage.
- Remember to change dusting cloths frequently as
dirty cloths may scratch your furniture’s surface.
The Enemies of Wood:
- Moisture is wood’s worst enemy. Liquid spills
should be gently wiped up immediately. Coasters
should be used under all beverages.
- Do not allow rubber or vinyl materials to lie on
the furniture. Chemicals in rubber may leave a
stain. Put a strip of felt or leather under
accessories that have rubber or vinyl.
- Heat creates a chemical change in the furniture’s
finish, which result in a white spot. Use
protective pads under hot dishes, appliances, etc.
- Sunlight’s ultraviolet rays can damage the finish of
furniture. Do not place furniture directly against a
heater or radiator and do not place in
the path of hot streams of air from central heating.
This will cause extreme localized drying of the wood.
Marble Top Maintenance:
The surface of the marble on your table has been polished
and sealed to create a generally non-porous surface. The
stone has many natural characteristics including veining,
hairline cracks, and color variations, which make up the
stone’s beauty.
To maintain the beauty of your marble:
- Protect surfaces from scratching, staining and
etching by:
Keeping them free of debris or sharp
objects.
Wiping up spills immediately
Avoiding contact with chemicals
(particularly acid-based materials)
- Clean with PH neutral products or those
especially formulated for use on stone.
- It is not recommended to use a water-based
solvent for dark marble as it will remove the
polish from the surface.
Caring for the Fabric on Upholstered Furniture:
- Frequent vacuuming of the entire upholstered
area will prevent dust from settling into the
fibers.
- Professional cleaning is always recommended
for all upholstered pieces.
- Do not use cleaning products containing
brightening agents.
