Wood Care Tips
- Keep away from moisture and direct humidity.
- Dust with a soft, dry or slightly damp 100% cotton cloth. Dry immediately.
- Use non-plastic mats or pads under items to protect the surface.
- Spot clean with mild soap and water; always dry thoroughly.
- Apply furniture wax occasionally along the grain to maintain finish. Buff for desired sheen.
- Each piece is unique and may need extra care — but it’s worth it.

How to Remove Mold & Mildew
- Mix 1 cup bleach and ¼ cup mild soap per gallon of water.
- Spray generously over the affected area and let sit for 15 minutes.
- Gently scrub with a sponge, soft towel, or soft-bristle brush.
- Rinse thoroughly to remove all residue.
- Air dry completely.
- For stubborn stains, increase bleach as needed and clean the full surface to avoid rings or discoloration.
-
Leather Care Tips
- Dust regularly with a clean, dry cloth to maintain the leather’s natural appearance.
- Wipe gently with a damp cloth if dirt builds up — never soak the leather.
- Avoid harsh cleaners or soaking, which can damage the finish and texture.
- For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner only after spot-testing it on a hidden area.
- Do not expose leather to direct sunlight or heat sources, which may cause fading or cracking.
- Condition occasionally with a leather conditioner, if needed, to keep it supple and prevent drying.
-
General Care Tips
- Avoid direct sunlight, heat, and humidity to prevent fading, warping, or cracking of materials.
- Use coasters, placemats, and protective covers to prevent surface damage from hot dishes, moisture, or scratches.
- Be cautious with dark or heavily dyed fabrics (like denim), which may transfer color onto furniture surfaces.
- Dilute any cleaning solutions with distilled water and avoid over-saturating upholstery.
- Blot spills gently with an absorbent, undyed cloth — work from the outside in to avoid water rings.
- Never scrub or use hard brushes on upholstery — this can damage the fabric or fibers.

Upholstered Furniture Care Tips
- Rotate cushions regularly to ensure even wear and extend the life of the seat and back.
- Fluff cushions filled with foam, feathers, or fibers to help maintain their shape and comfort.
- Check and tighten sofa or chair legs periodically to keep them secure and stable.
- Avoid dragging furniture — lift when moving to prevent damage to the legs, frame, or floor.
- Vacuum fabric surfaces with a soft brush attachment to remove dust and debris.
- Address spills promptly using a clean, damp cloth — always follow fabric-specific cleaning instructions.
-
Metal Care Tips
- Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent buildup.
- Wipe with a damp cloth for light cleaning. Dry immediately to prevent water spots or rust.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads, which may scratch or dull the surface.
- For brass or mixed metals, use a metal polish sparingly if needed — always test on a small area first.
- Keep away from moisture and humid environments to prevent tarnish or corrosion.
- Use felt pads or coasters under objects to protect against scratches or marks.
