Furniture Care

Cabinet and Dining

- Always follow the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions and only use products recommended by them.

- Use a soft lint-free cloth to gently dust your furniture.

- Do not use detergents, silicon or spray polishes, they may leave a residue on the surface affecting the appearance.

- Use good quality beeswax and polish along the grain every three months on waxed finishes.

- Use linseed oil every three to four months on oiled finishes.

- Use a natural cleaner or mild dishwashing detergent and warm water for cleaning furniture made from stone or travertine.

- Wooden products change colour with exposure to natural and electric light. Leave dining tables fully extended if possible to avoid vast colour differences.

- Do not rock backwards or stand on dining chairs

- Use good quality table mats, wooden furniture is not water or heat proof.

- When moving furniture lift carefully, dragging will damage fixings and affect stability.

- Ensure units are levelled to avoid doors catching.
