1. Guide to the care of wooden furniture
Wooden furniture requires regular maintenance to preserve its natural beauty and ensure its longevity.
Daily cleaning
Dust gently with a soft microfiber cloth, ideally dry.
For a more thorough cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth with a neutral soap, then wipe immediately to avoid moisture absorption.
Wood protection and hydration
Apply a natural wax or a specific nourishing oil for wood two to four times a year to maintain shine, strengthen protection and prevent drying out.
Avoid products containing ammonia or harsh solvents that could damage the finish.
Precautions for use
Keep furniture away from direct heat sources (radiators, fireplaces) and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent warping, cracking, or color variations.
Always use trivets, placemats and coasters to protect the surface from heat, moisture and scratches.
Wipe up any spills immediately to prevent stains and leaks.
2. Fabric Furniture Care Guide
Fabric-covered furniture provides warmth and comfort, but requires regular care to maintain its original appearance and prevent premature wear.
Regular cleaning
Vacuum at least once a week with a soft attachment to remove dust, crumbs and particles that could damage the fibers.
Shake or pat the removable cushions to maintain their shape and prevent dust buildup inside.
Stain treatment
Treat the stain completely and immediately: Dab gently with a clean cloth, without rubbing, using a mixture of warm water and neutral soap.
For the most stubborn stains, use a suitable textile cleaner or call in a professional service.
Always test the product on a discreet area before full application.
Fabric protection
Apply a stain-resistant or waterproofing protective spray specifically designed for upholstery fabrics to improve resistance to soiling.
Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fabric deformation.
Carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions for washing removable covers and ensure they are completely dry before putting them back in place to avoid any residual moisture.
3. Metal Furniture Care Guide
Metal furniture is distinguished by its robustness and modern aesthetic. Proper maintenance guarantees its durability and preserves the quality of its finish.
Cleaning and routine maintenance
Wipe the surface regularly with a slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove dust and marks.
For tougher stains, 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 moisture can promote rust.
In humid environments (seaside, bathroom), regularly apply a thin layer of protective oil or specific wax to reinforce the anti-corrosion barrier.
Precautions for use
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.
