Care & Cleaning Guide

Proper care and maintenance will extend the life of your furniture and keep it looking great for years to come.

Daily Maintenance

Wipe down high-touch surfaces daily with appropriate cleaners. This prevents buildup and maintains hygiene.

Weekly Deep Clean

Perform a thorough cleaning of all furniture weekly, including hard-to-reach areas and undersides.

Immediate Spill Response

Address spills immediately to prevent staining. Blot (don't rub) and clean with appropriate solution.

Regular Inspection

Check furniture monthly for loose screws, worn parts, or damage. Address issues promptly.
