With regular care and maintenance, your furniture will provide years of superior performance and satisfaction. The following information will help you care for your products in the best possible way.
Fabric Upholstery
- Vacuum regularly using a soft upholstery attachment to remove dirt, grit, and body moisture that can lead to wear, discolouration, and grime buildup.
- Rotate cushions and pillows regularly to promote even wear.
- Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain and damage the fabric.
- Have your upholstery professionally dry cleaned at least once a year. Keep any removable covers on during cleaning to reduce the risk of shrinking.
- Temporary pilling may occur with some fabrics. This is normal and can be removed using a de-pilling machine.
- Keep fabric upholstery out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources to prevent fading and deterioration. Use curtains or blinds to protect furniture near windows.
- Avoid pulling loose threads. Instead, trim them carefully to prevent further damage.
Leather Upholstery
- Wipe regularly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent the buildup of dust and dirt, which can cause discolouration.
- If using a leather-specific cleaner, always follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. Allow the surface to dry completely before use.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents, as they can damage the leather.
- Apply liquid cleaning agents sparingly to a clean cloth rather than directly onto the leather. Gently clean in a circular motion, working from the outside of the stain inward. Blot away any excess with a clean, dry cloth.
- For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner. Do not press liquid into the leather. Instead, scrape or scoop solids carefully from the surface.
- Keep leather furniture out of direct sunlight to prevent fading and discolouration. Use curtains or blinds to protect it from sunlight through windows.
Mesh (Task Chairs)
- Vacuum regularly to prevent the buildup of dust and dirt.
- Clean with a mild soap and water solution or a non-polluting cleaning agent.
- Avoid aggressive cleaning agents, and always test any product on an inconspicuous area first.
- For stains, use detergents designed for synthetic surfaces with a neutral pH between 5 and 8.
- Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents, as they may damage the mesh.
- Keep mesh away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and discolouration.
- For severe soiling, seek professional assistance and follow the recommendations of the cleaning agent manufacturer.
Polypropylene & Plastic
- Clean with a soft, damp cloth and warm water.
- For stubborn stains, use a small amount of liquid soap diluted in water.
- Avoid acetone, trichloroethylene, ammonia, ethyl alcohol, or any detergents containing these substances, as they can make shiny surfaces appear dull or opaque.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners such as powdered products, abrasive creams, scouring pads or rough sponges, as they may scratch the surface.
- Avoid using dry cloths, which can create static electricity and attract dust and dirt to the surface.
- Prevent scratches by avoiding contact with sharp or abrasive objects.
- Plastic materials are sensitive to heat. Do not place hot pots, pans or other high-temperature items directly on the surface. Always use a trivet or heat-resistant mat for protection.
Melamine & Laminate
- Clean with a soft, damp cloth and warm water.
- For stubborn stains, use a small amount of liquid soap diluted in water.
- Avoid acetone, trichloroethylene, ammonia, ethyl alcohol, or any detergents containing these substances, as they can turn shiny surfaces dull.
- Do not use abrasive substances such as powdered cleaners, abrasive creams, scouring pads, or rough sponges, as they can scratch the surface.
- Avoid using dry cloths on plastic laminate surfaces, as they can cause static electricity, attracting dust and dirt.
- Prevent scratches by avoiding placing sharp or abrasive objects directly on the surface.
- Surfaces made from plastic-based materials are sensitive to high temperatures. Do not place hot pots or pans directly on them. Always use a trivet or heat-resistant mat for protection.
Timber Veneer & Solid Timber
- Clean with a soft, damp cloth and warm water. Always dry the surface thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent water damage.
- Wipe up spills and residues promptly to avoid staining the timber.
- Timber surfaces cannot withstand high temperatures. Avoid placing hot pots or pans directly on the surface. Always use a trivet or heat-resistant mat for protection.
- Prolonged exposure to light can cause the colour of the wood to change. Keep furniture out of direct sunlight to prevent fading and discolouration.
- Wood is a natural material, and its appearance may change with time and use.
- Avoid placing items with rubber feet, such as phones and lamps, directly on the surface. Use a felt mat or other protective layer to prevent marking or damage.
Metal
- Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent buildup and maintain a shiny finish.
- For general cleaning, use a soft damp cloth with warm water. For stubborn stains, a small amount of mild liquid soap diluted in water can be used.
- Always dry the surface thoroughly with a soft or leather cloth after cleaning to prevent rust. Avoid exposing metal furniture to prolonged moisture.
- Do not use cleaning products designed for steel ovens, chlorine, bleach, or other harsh chemicals, as they can damage the finish.
- Avoid abrasive substances such as powdered cleaners, abrasive creams, scouring pads or rough sponges, as they can scratch the surface.
- Pay special attention to spills like coffee, fruit juice and cola. If left untreated, these can leave permanent stains on the surface.
