Furniture Care & Maintenance

Practical Care Guidance for Your Home and Outdoor Products

01 — General Care Recommendations

Proper care can help maintain the appearance and condition of furniture and household products. Cleaning and maintenance requirements vary depending on the materials, finish, construction, and intended use of each item. Always check the product-specific care instructions before applying cleaning products or treatments.

02 — Solid Wood Furniture

For furniture made from acacia wood, teak wood, or other solid wood materials, remove dust with a soft, dry cloth. Wipe spills promptly and avoid prolonged exposure to standing water. Keep wooden furniture away from excessive heat, direct sunlight, and extreme humidity where practical. Natural variations in grain, knots, and color may occur and are characteristic of natural wood.

03 — Engineered Wood and Finished Surfaces

Clean engineered wood and coated surfaces using a soft, slightly damp cloth where appropriate. Avoid soaking panel edges or allowing moisture to remain on joints and connections. Do not use abrasive pads, harsh solvents, or unapproved chemical cleaners. Dry the surface after cleaning and follow the care instructions supplied with the product.

04 — Rattan, Metal, and Glass

Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dust from rattan and woven components. Keep natural fibers dry and avoid excessive moisture. For metal frames, use a soft cloth and dry the surface after cleaning. Glass surfaces and mirrors should be cleaned with products suitable for the particular glass finish. Avoid excessive pressure on glass edges and stop using any cracked or chipped glass component.

05 — Bedding and Textile Products

For comforters, bedding sets, curtains, and other textile products, follow the washing and drying instructions on the product label or supplied care information. Check washing temperature, drying method, and any restrictions before cleaning. Separate colors where appropriate and avoid cleaning methods that may damage fabric fibers or finishes.

06 — Rugs and Natural Fibers

Vacuum rugs according to their material and construction. Use appropriate settings for delicate or natural-fiber surfaces. Jute and other natural-fiber rugs may be sensitive to moisture, so avoid soaking them or applying unsuitable cleaning solutions. Address spills promptly using a method appropriate for the particular fiber.

07 — Outdoor Furniture and Garden Products

Outdoor furniture, including teak or acacia wood loungers and dining sets, should be maintained according to its material and finish. Clean garden products and outdoor accessories regularly and check for loose connections, corrosion, or weather-related deterioration. Protect products from severe weather where recommended by the manufacturer. Close or retract patio umbrellas and awnings in unsuitable wind or weather conditions as directed by their product instructions.

08 — Regular Inspection

Periodically inspect furniture joints, screws, brackets, wall anchors, moving parts, and supporting structures. Tighten or replace components only as directed by the product instructions. Discontinue use if a product becomes unstable, damaged, or unsafe. Do not exceed the stated weight capacity or use products for purposes for which they were not designed.
