Furniture Care Guide
Care begins
with the actual finish.
Furniture materials and finishes need different care. Keep the instructions supplied with each piece, identify the material before cleaning, and ask about an unclear finish instead of applying a universal method.
A practical care routine.
Read before cleaning
Use the care instructions for the exact material and finish. Do not assume a method suitable for one piece is appropriate for another that looks similar.
Check cleaning compatibility
Use only products and methods suitable for the item according to its instructions. If a method is unclear, ask before applying a cleaner or treatment; do not mix cleaning products.
Protect the surface appropriately
Follow guidance on spills, heat and moisture. Use suitable surface protection where recommended, and avoid assuming a finish is waterproof or heat resistant.
Respect assembly and use limits
Keep supplied fittings and instructions. Follow stated load limits and anchoring requirements; do not climb, stand on or modify furniture outside its intended use.
Move and inspect thoughtfully
Follow the guidance for lifting, disassembly and moving the item. Check relevant fittings as instructed and ask about damaged or missing components before continued use.
Consider the space.
Keep the instructions
Retain assembly, use and care information with the product reference.
Identify the surface
A visual resemblance does not establish whether a surface is solid wood, veneer, coated, stone, textile or another material.
Act with care
Follow the stated method and limits. Avoid guessing about chemicals, moisture, heat or load capacity.
The care label is the starting point.
This guide offers a general way to approach care, not a treatment recipe for every surface. Material-specific instructions supplied for the piece take priority.
- Identify the material and finish.
- Follow the supplied cleaning guidance.
- Ask before treating an unknown surface.

Good to know.
Can I use the same cleaner on all furniture?
No. Check the instructions for the exact material and finish, and confirm compatibility before applying a product.
What should I include in a care enquiry?
Send the product name, any material or care label details and a clear description or photograph of the concern. Do not apply an unconfirmed treatment while waiting for guidance.
