General Care

• Always follow any care instructions included with the specific product.
• Products made from natural materials such as wood and marble will have unique colour/surface variations.
• Always use mild cleaning agents – never use harsh, chemical cleaning products.
• To preserve the colour of the materials, avoid direct sunlight whenever possible.
• Never place products close to heat sources.
• Always protect surfaces against direct heat, humidity and strongly coloured items.
• Unless items are explicitly approved for outdoor use, they are meant for indoor use and should never be used outdoors.

Textiles

Maintain your upholstery by vacuuming it regularly with a soft upholstery attachment. Try to avoid placing fabric in direct sunlight, and use curtains and blinds to protect your furniture when possible. Try to avoid spot cleaning, but if necessary try blotting the spot with a paper towel or clean white cloth. Avoid rubbing as this will create a larger stain. If further care is required, please check the specific cleaning requirements of your fabric to ensure that the appropriate method is used, this will ensure no further damage and the best possible removal of any stain.

Wood

When solid wood furniture is correctly maintained and exposed to daylight, over the years the wood will acquire a beautiful patina. As wood is a living natural product, color variations and knots as well as lines in the finished furniture may occur. Solid wood is a living material that is affected by daylight, temperature and humidity. The ideal relative humidity for solid wood tables is between 30% and 60%. Caring for your wooden furniture depends on the surface treatment. Soaped treated furniture should be regularly soaped and oiled treated furniture should be treated with special wood oil once in a while, whereas lacquered wood furniture only needs cleaning with a damp cloth.
