Furniture Care Tips
We want to ensure you enjoy your home furnishings for years to come so we’ve put together a few care tips for the maintenance of your new purchase:
WOOD FURNITURE
- Dust regularly with a dry cloth or one slightly moistened with a natural polish. Avoid polishes containing petroleum products since they may damage the finish. Even dust may be abrasive so always dust with the grain and not across it.
- Avoid putting furniture in direct sunlight since this may bleach the finish.
- Commercial glass cleaners may discolour brass or chrome finishes.
- Be sure to always use felt discs, placemats (without rubber backing), coaster etc. when putting lamps, glasses, hot objects etc. on table tops. Despite modern water-resistant finishes, it is very important that water not be allowed to stand on top of finishes or in decorative router lines.
- When table leaves are not in use, always store them in a flat position such as beneath a bed.
- Maintaining even humidity conditions in your home is extremely beneficial to all furniture with wood construction. The use of a humidifier in your home is highly recommended.
- Remember, decorative wood spindles are fragile and will break if subjected to undue stress.
UPHOLSTERY
- Vacuum with soft brush attachments to remove dirt and dust that can cut threads or wear fibers.
- It is not necessary for a stain repellent or fabric protectant to be applied to the upholstered furniture. It can be cleaned if soiled and reduces the amount of chemicals you bring into your home.
- If a stain occurs on your upholstered furniture, test for colour fastness by wiping a small hidden area with a mild soap solution before attempting to remove the stain.
- All seat cushions should be turned and rotated (if reversible) after every vacuuming (at least every few weeks,). This will help stop your cushions from twisting and provide even wear. If twisting does occur, simply open at the zipper and pull the fabric around by hand.
- Zippers are in-place for ease of assembly by the manufacturer. Do not attempt to remove covers and machine wash them.
- Occasionally a seat cushion may appear to be a different shade than the rest of the piece. Simply turn the cushion over and the nap (fabric fibers) will be laying the other direction.
MATTRESS SET
- It is a requirement of the manufacturer’s warranty that queen and king size mattress sets have a bed frame that has cross supports and a center support to avoid sagging of foundation.
- Never bend, fold or stand on your mattress.
- A washable and waterproof mattress protector should always be used as it promotes a healthy sleep environment and protects your manufacturers warranty as well as gives you a 30 day comfort guarantee on your mattress.
