Material guide
Choose the care instructions for your furniture
Use gentle methods first and avoid excess moisture, heat, harsh chemicals and abrasive tools.
01General furniture care
- Limit prolonged direct sunlight and keep furniture away from strong heat, damp areas and air-conditioning vents.
- Lift furniture when moving it. Do not lift by arms, cushions, doors or decorative parts.
- Check accessible screws and fittings periodically, tightening gently without overtightening.
02Fabric upholstery
- Vacuum with low suction and a clean soft-brush attachment.
- Blot spills promptly with a clean white cloth. Do not rub, scrub or oversaturate.
- Rotate and reshape removable cushions where suitable. Use a qualified upholstery cleaner for persistent marks.
03Timber and veneer
- Dust with a soft dry cloth and wipe spills promptly.
- Use coasters, placemats and protective pads under hot, wet or sharp objects.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents and excess water. Natural colour and grain variation may occur.
04Marble and natural stone
- Blot spills immediately, especially acidic liquids such as citrus, wine and vinegar.
- Use coasters and placemats. Clean only with products suitable for the specific stone.
- Do not assume the surface is sealed or stain-proof; confirm before applying a sealer.
05Leather
- Dust with a soft dry cloth and blot spills without rubbing.
- Use only a cleaner or conditioner suitable for the identified leather type, after testing.
- Avoid household polish, wet wipes, oils, direct heat and prolonged sunlight.
06Glass, metal and plated finishes
- Use a soft microfibre cloth and a cleaner suitable for the surface.
- Apply cleaner to the cloth where possible so it does not reach adjacent finishes or joints.
- Dry metal surfaces promptly and avoid abrasive pads, powders and harsh chemicals.
07Recliners and moving mechanisms
- Keep the movement path clear and do not sit on footrests, arms or moving components.
- Keep cables away from pinch points and unplug powered furniture before basic inspection.
- Do not dismantle electrical or mechanical components. Use a qualified technician for faults or repairs.
