Furniture care and maintenance
Furniture care and maintenance are important to keep your furniture looking good and lasting a long time. Different types of furniture may require different methods of cleaning and protection. Here are some general tips for furniture care and maintenance:.
Keep furniture out of direct sunlight and away from heating and air conditioning vents to prevent fading and cracking.
Use coasters, placemats, and tablecloths to protect furniture surfaces from wet and hot items.
Dust furniture regularly with a soft cloth or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment.
Blot up spills immediately with a clean cloth or paper towel. Do not rub or wipe the spill, as it may spread or damage the finish.
Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents on your furniture. Use mild soap and water or a furniture polish that is suitable for the material and finish of your furniture.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the specific care and maintenance of your furniture. Some furniture may need oiling, waxing, or varnishing periodically to preserve its appearance and quality.
