Care & Maintenance
General
It’s important to know that the colour of your furniture will change depending on how it’s used and its exposure to light. Try to avoid exposing your furniture to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended periods, this could cause discolouration.
• Never place wet or hot items directly onto the product because the surfaces of furniture are sensitive to heat. That’s why we recommend using trivets or table mats.
• To keep your furniture clean, dust it regularly with a dry cloth.
• When moving items around on your furniture, don’t drag or slide them, lift them to avoid scratches.
• If you want to move your furniture, we recommend that you always do it with at least one other person. Don’t drag it, make sure you lift it to avoid scratching your floor.
• If your furniture contains fabric parts, the colour may alter over time, this is a natural reaction of fabrics exposed to sunlight.
• Upon receipt of your furniture, be sure to air it, with the doors and drawers open, in a well-ventilated room.
• Avoid any contact with alcohol-based substances, solvents, abrasive materials, sharp or cutting objects.
• Household cleaning products such as bleach should not be left for prolonged periods on the surface.
• If you can’t remember what kind of finish or materials have been used to make your furniture, feel free to contact our customer service!
Metal
Stainless steel, epoxy and aluminium are naturally susceptible to scratches and some liquids. Scratches are inevitable, including on stainless steel, but will blend in over time.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
• Dust your furniture regularly with a dry cloth.
• Clean with a cloth dampened with a solution of warm water and a detergent with a neutral pH or washing-up liquid. Finish by wiping with a dry cloth.
• Never use abrasive cleaners.
• Don’t leave spilt liquid on the surface for lengthy periods in order to prevent stains.
Painted Surface
The paints and varnishes that we use in the manufacture of our products are resistant to everyday use. However, like all finishes, you need to follow these instructions for use to take care of your product:
• Don’t rub the surface otherwise you might damage it.
• Wipe with a damp cloth moistened with a solution of water and washing-up liquid or a cloth dipped in a mild detergent.
• Finish by wiping with a dry cloth.
• Don’t use cleaning products containing solvents or abrasives.
• Dust regularly with a dry cloth.
Solid Wood
Wood is a durable, natural, living material, which explains variations in grain, colour, texture and the presence of knots. Being naturally porous, it continues to absorb and release moisture throughout its life. Veneer is a thin sheet of solid wood glued to a wood-based panel to produce a clean, smooth surface finish.Rattan
Rattan is a natural material with the distinctive feature that it can be bent and is very resistant to variations in humidity and temperature.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
• Clean with a damp cloth and then wipe dry with a clean cloth.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust.
• Don’t put your rattan furniture near a source of heat, otherwise it might split.
• Outside, to avoid the risk of mould and discolouration, place your furniture in a space protected from the weather and not in direct contact with the ground.
Marble
Marble is a naturally porous material - already protected by a coat of silicone wax to prevent the risk of penetration of liquids - and sensitive to heat (risk of cracking).
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
• Only use cleaning products with a neutral pH.
• Wipe up spills immediately with a white cloth soaked in warm water and wrung out.
• Avoid placing hot objects on the surface, a table top should be protected with coasters and table-mats.
Upholstery
• Upholstered furniture will lighten over time if it's exposed to direct sunlight, so be careful where you place your furniture pieces.
• To keep seat cushions looking their best and to help them wear evenly, be sure to regularly turn them. Give foam, feather or fibre-filled cushions a shake as often as possible to help them keep their shape.
• Make sure the feet on your chair or sofa are tightly fastened. Try not to drag them to avoid damage to the feet, or your floor.
