Wood Care
The beauty of furniture care is that it helps to protect your investment. Fine
furniture is an important purchase. Proper care will help maintain your
furniture's finish and ensure that it looks great year after year.
Caring for furniture
Caring for furniture is easy. Following a few simple guidelines will help extend
the life of your furniture.
- Always dust with a polish moistened cloth. Polish cushions the cloth eliminating
scratching that occurs with dry dusting. Dust will scratch the furniture surface
if not removed properly.
- Use a soft, clean cloth that won't scratch the surface. Avoid course or scratchy
materials or fabrics.
Enemies of Furniture
Many common problems in furniture care are caused by the elements. If you are
aware of these troublemakers, the resulting damage can easily be avoided.
- Sunlight's ultraviolet rays can damage wood finishes. Arrange furniture out of
direct sunlight; use sun screening drapes during intense sunlight hours; rotate
furniture in place and in room arrangements.
- Liquid spills will damage furniture if not removed promptly. Use coasters under
beverages, glasses, saucers under cups and flowerpots. If a spill still occurs,
immediately blot it gently without rubbing the surface.
- Heat creates a chemical change in the furniture finish, which can result in a
white spot. Use protective pads under hot dishes, utensils or cooking
appliances.
- Cyclic changes in temperature can damage furniture. Hot blasts of air such as
those found from central heating should be avoided because they can cause
extreme localized drying of the wood.
Fabric Care
Upholstered furniture adds function and beauty to every room of your home. The
choices are many with a wide variety of fiber, fabrics, colors and styles
readily available. The following information will help you care for your
upholstered furniture.
General Care Tips
Rearrange furniture occasionally to ensure even use of the cushions and wear
areas.
Reverse loose cushions weekly.
Vacuum often to remove grit that can cause abrasion.
Caution those wearing clothing with transferable dyes, such as blue jeans, etc.
that the dye could transfer onto light colored furniture.
Protect fabric from the sun. Ultraviolet light (sunlight) will cause fiber
degeneration and color-fade. Fabrics should not be placed in direct sunlight, as
this may cause fading.
Occasionally, dyes can fade from impurities within the air.
Keep pets off the furniture. Pet urine and pet body oil can be difficult to
remove. Pet abuse voids manufacturers warranty.
Use proper care with structural weave fabrics (design created by the weave) to
protect against snags. |
