Proper furniture care helps maintain cleanliness, appearance, and functionality. Through regular cleaning, appropriate use, and periodic inspections, you can reduce unnecessary wear and help keep your furniture in good condition.
Because furniture materials, surface finishes, and structures may vary, please review the product page, product label, and included instructions before cleaning or maintaining any item.
1. Daily Cleaning and Care
Regularly remove dust and debris from furniture surfaces using a clean, soft cloth. For spills or accidental stains, promptly follow the care requirements appropriate for the material to prevent residue from remaining on the surface for extended periods.
Before using any cleaning product, confirm that it is suitable for the furniture's material and surface finish. Where possible, test it on a small, inconspicuous area first. Unless expressly permitted by the product instructions, avoid strong chemical cleaners, abrasive tools, and other products that may damage the surface.
After cleaning, remove any remaining moisture as directed by the product instructions to prevent unnecessary moisture buildup.
2. Material and Surface Care
Different materials require different care methods. Wood and wood-based composites, metal, glass, plastic, resin, fabric, woven materials, and stone or composite surfaces may react differently to moisture, cleaning products, friction, and temperature changes.
- Wood and Wood-Based Materials: Use a cleaning method suitable for the surface finish, avoid prolonged contact with water, and take care to prevent scratches and impacts.
- Metal: Choose suitable cleaning products based on the surface finish, remove dirt promptly, and check for signs of corrosion or coating damage.
- Glass: Use soft cleaning tools that are unlikely to scratch the surface. Avoid impacts, pressure on the edges, and materials that may cause scratches.
- Plastic and Resin: Use gentle cleaning methods suitable for the material. Avoid unverified strong solvents and products that may damage the surface.
- Fabric and Cushions: Clean according to the product instructions. Before washing, confirm whether the components are removable, machine-washable, or compatible with specific cleaning products. Ensure they are sufficiently dry according to the product requirements before using them again.
- Woven Materials: Regularly remove dust and debris from gaps and crevices, and avoid pulling or stretching the woven sections with excessive force.
- Stone and Composite Surfaces: Choose a cleaning method suitable for the specific material and surface finish. Avoid unverified acidic or abrasive cleaning products.
These recommendations should be followed in conjunction with the instructions for the specific product. Different materials and surface finishes may require different care methods.
3. Environmental Conditions and Placement
Place furniture on a stable, level surface in an area appropriate for its intended use. Select a suitable indoor or outdoor environment according to the product instructions.
For furniture that may be affected by direct sunlight, moisture, temperature changes, or severe weather, take appropriate protective measures based on its intended environmental conditions. For outdoor furniture that will not be used for an extended period or may be exposed to unfavorable weather, consider covering or storing it as directed by the product instructions.
When moving furniture, use an appropriate handling method to avoid damaging the furniture or flooring through dragging. For heavy or large items, consider having multiple people assist with moving them.
4. Regular Inspections and Safe Use
Regularly inspect furniture surfaces, support structures, and visible connection points for looseness, cracks, corrosion, deformation, or other signs of abnormal conditions.
Follow the product instructions and stated weight limits when using furniture. Unless an item is specifically designed for such use, do not stand, climb, or sit on it in unintended ways, or apply pressure beyond its intended design.
If furniture shows visible damage, structural instability, or any other condition that may affect safety, stop using it immediately. Carry out any necessary inspection or corrective action only when it is safe to do so. Do not continue using damaged furniture before its safety has been confirmed.
5. Cleaning Precautions
When cleaning or maintaining furniture, please observe the following precautions:
- Read the product instructions and cleaning product labels carefully.
- Avoid mixing different cleaning products, especially products with unknown ingredients.
- Ensure adequate ventilation when using cleaning products and follow any protective measures specified on their labels.
- Keep cleaning and maintenance products out of the reach of children and pets.
- Do not disassemble or modify furniture without authorization, or use incompatible repair parts.
