VELVET:
Vacuuming your velvet fabric weekly with an upholstery attachment will help maintain its original look and feel. If you do not have an upholstery attachment, you can place a cloth over the end of the hoover, or use a soft hand-brush.
Important Note: Always brush velvet in the direction of the pile.
Stains & Spillages: We always recommend using a professional dry-cleaning service rather than attempting to clean yourself. If you spill liquid, act quickly and try to soak it up with a dry cloth, using a blotting action; avoid rubbing or putting too much pressure on the area affected. Leaving velvet wet can cause it to mark, so use a hairdryer on a low temperature and at a safe distance to try and dry the affected area quickly. After drying the velvet, use a soft velvet brush in the direction if the pile to restore its texture.
WOOD:
-
Dust with a clean, damp, lint free cloth.
-
Frequent dusting will remove abrasive build up, which can damage the finish over time.
-
Do not use a very wet cloth or allow liquid to contact with the veneers for a long period of time as this can permanently damage the surface. Wipe up spills immediately.
-
Do not use any abrasive cleaner or harsh detergent as this can damage the surface of the furniture.
-
Spray polishes are best avoided as they contain silicones which may spoil the furniture's surface when building up over time.
-
Make sure all surfaces are protected from heat and liquids by mats and coasters.
-
Ensure that a mat or pad is placed under paper when you are writing on the furniture surface.
-
Do not place rubber or plastic materials on the wood finish as chemicals which may react with the finish if left in contact for an extended period of time.
-
Our furniture will endure most temperatures in the home but it is best to avoid placing furniture next to heat sources such as radiators or fires. Be particularly careful with solid wood as the lack of humidity caused by home heating can cause damage such as warping, cracking or splitting.
-
Excessive exposure to sunlight can cause fading of your furniture.
