1. Wooden furniture maintenance guide
Wooden furniture requires regular maintenance to preserve its natural beauty and ensure its longevity.
Daily cleaning
Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth, ideally dry.
For a deeper clean, use a cloth slightly dampened with a neutral soap, then wipe immediately to prevent moisture absorption.
Wood protection and hydration
Apply a natural wax or nourishing wood oil two to four times a year to maintain shine, enhance protection, and prevent drying out.
Avoid products containing ammonia or harsh solvents that can damage the finish.
Usage precautions
Keep furniture away from direct heat sources (radiators, fireplaces) and prolonged sun exposure to prevent warping, cracking, or discoloration.
Always use placemats, coasters, and trivets to protect surfaces from heat, moisture, and scratches.
Wipe up any spills immediately to prevent stains and infiltration.
2. Fabric furniture maintenance guide
Fabric furniture brings warmth and comfort, but requires regular maintenance to keep 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 can damage the fibres.
Shake or pat removable cushions to preserve their shape and prevent dust accumulation inside.
Stain treatment
Treat any stain immediately: gently dab with a clean cloth, without rubbing, using a mixture of lukewarm water and neutral soap.
For stubborn stains, use a suitable fabric cleaner or call a professional.
Always test the product on an inconspicuous area before applying it to the entire surface.
Fabric care
Apply a protective spray (stain-resistant or waterproof) specifically designed for upholstery fabrics to improve its resistance to dirt.
Avoid direct sun exposure to prevent fabric discoloration.
Carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions for washing removable covers and make sure they are completely dry before putting them back on, to avoid any residual moisture.
3. Metal furniture maintenance guide
Metal furniture stands out for its robustness and modern aesthetic. Proper maintenance ensures its durability and preserves the quality of its coating.
Cleaning and routine maintenance
Wipe the surface regularly with a slightly damp microfibre cloth to remove dust and marks.
For more stubborn dirt, use a mild non-abrasive detergent, then rinse with a damp cloth before drying thoroughly.
Avoid any product that contains 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 a specific wax to strengthen the barrier against corrosion.
Usage precautions
Avoid impacts and scratches that could damage the paint or protective coating.
Use felt pads under the feet to protect both the furniture and the floors.
Do not place extremely hot or heavy objects directly on metal surfaces to avoid deformation or alteration.
