Cabinet Furniture Care

CABINET FURNITURE CARE

Tips that will prolong the good looks of your cabinet furniture:

• Do not situate furniture near heat sources or air‑conditioning. Avoid changes in humidity ‑ particularly steam.
• Always leave an air gap behind wardrobes and wall units.
• Protect furniture from strong or prolonged sunlight. Protect against substances which can easily cause scratching/grooving.
• Protect furniture surfaces from sharp items e.g when using a ball‑point pen.
• Carefully lift your furniture, never drag or push.
• Do not rock backwards on dining chairs.
• Always follow the instructions regarding wall‑fxing and glass surfaces/shelves.

Regular and easy‑care maintenance:

• Gently dust your furniture and polish with a soft lint‑free buffing cloth
• The colour of real wood matures in light, so it is important to regularly rotate ornaments and expose table leaves to avoid noticeable colour differences occuring.
• Never use silicon or wax polishes that leave residue on surfaces. Only use good quality wax‑free proprietary furniture polish.
• Disconnect any light fittings from the mains before bulbs are changed.

First Aid:

• Simply blot up any spills immediately. Do not try to wash or rub spills and do not use detergents.
• Remove any finger marks with a clean, slightly damp cloth.
• Protect wood surfaces with felt under cloths and place‑mats.

Cleaning:

• Always follow the manufacturers cleaning instructions.
• Assume that all wooden furniture will not resist water, chemicals or heat.
• Natural wax finishes are porous and stain easily.
• Most lacquer or synthetic finishes to real wood give a semi‑permanent barrier.
• Man‑made foil and melamine may be dusted or wiped with a damp cloth.
• It is important you seek professional advice.
