CARING FOR YOUR FURNITURE

GENERAL CARE

13. Please ensure that your furniture is used as it was intended. Do not sit or stand on table tops, and do not pivot on the back legs of chairs.

SUNLIGHT

14. As with any product, prolonged exposure of furniture to direct sunlight will harm it. Direct exposure to sunlight will cause concrete and fabrics to fade and may also cause excessive drying. Direct exposure to sunlight may cause timber products, particularly doors, tops and side panels to warp.

LEATHER UPHOLSTERED FURNITURE

15. If thread becomes loose on the fabric, simply cut it off. Do not pull it. Dust is best removed using your vacuum cleaner with the appropriate attachment. Avoid harsh brushing and sharp objects (rings, buckles, toys) as it will cause snagging of threads. Do not allow cats and dogs to walk on fabric upholstered furniture. As many fabrics differ in properties, it is best to follow the unique care and cleaning instructions labelled on your fabric furniture.

LACQUERED & TIMBER FINISHES

16. Natural timber and veneer finishes will show distinctive markings, patterns and colour variations which are evidence of being produced from genuine timber materials. Always use protective heat coverings to protect against hot objects. A tablecloth is not sufficient. Always use coasters when placing glasses, bottles or cups on the surface. Regularly clean surface by wiping with a non-abrasive, damp cloth.

CONCRETE FINISHES

17. Concrete is a natural material. Each piece is unique in markings and patterns, pin holes and colour variation. Always use protective heat coverings to protect against hot objects. A tablecloth is not sufficient. Sealer may need to be re-applied every 2-4 years depending usage.

19. Always use coasters when placing glasses, bottles or cups on the surface. Any liquid spills should be wiped clean immediately. Remove dirt and dust by wiping with a warm, damp cloth.

METAL FINISHES

18. Dust the surface regularly to avoid build-up of pollutants, which may cause the surface to rust. Only use a recognised brand of chrome polish, if necessary. Avoid contact with sharp or hard objects as this will cause scratching.

GLASS

19. Use a regular glass cleaner with an appropriate soft cloth for glass. Do not apply glass cleaner to surrounding areas or the frosted side of the glass. Always use a mat to avoid hot objects being in direct contact with glass. Avoid contact with sharp or hard objects as this will cause scratching. Never lift glass tops from the ends of a table as this will put unnecessary stress on the surface and may cause it to break.
