Furniture Care Guides
A little care goes a long way. Follow these tips to keep your furniture looking beautiful for years to come.
Fabric Sofas & Upholstery
Vacuum Weekly
Use a soft brush attachment to remove dust and crumbs from seams and crevices.
Rotate Cushions
Turn and rotate seat and back cushions every few weeks for even wear.
Blot Spills
Use a clean, damp cloth and blot gently. Never rub — it spreads stains and damages fibres.
Leather Sofas & Chairs
Condition Every 6 Months
Use a specialist leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent cracking.
Clean Spills Promptly
Wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid household cleaners, baby wipes, or solvents.
Keep from Heat & Sun
Position at least 30cm from radiators. Sunlight can cause fading over time.
Wooden Furniture
- Dust with a soft cloth — Microfibre cloths work best. Follow the grain direction.
- Use coasters and mats — Protect surfaces from hot drinks, water rings, and scratches.
- Polish occasionally — Use beeswax-based polish every few months. Avoid silicone sprays.
- Avoid extremes — Keep away from radiators, direct sunlight, and humidity.
Mattresses
- Use a mattress protector — The single best thing you can do to extend mattress life.
- Rotate regularly — Rotate 180° every 3 months for the first year, then every 6 months.
- Air it out — Strip the bed and open windows occasionally to let it breathe.
- Don't bend or fold — Always keep flat when moving to avoid damaging springs.
Dining Tables
- Use placemats and tablecloths — Protect the surface during meals.
- Wipe spills quickly — Especially on wooden and marble surfaces.
- Glass tables — Clean with glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges.
