Guide d'entretien des meubles

1. Wood furniture care guide

Wood furniture requires regular maintenance to preserve its natural beauty and ensure its longevity.

Daily cleaning

Dust gently with a soft microfiber cloth, ideally dry.

For a deeper clean, use a cloth slightly dampened with a neutral soap, then wipe immediately to prevent moisture absorption.

Wood protection and hydration

Apply a natural wax or nourishing wood oil two to four times a year to maintain shine, enhance protection, and prevent drying out.

Avoid products containing ammonia or harsh solvents that may alter the finish.

Usage precautions

Keep furniture away from direct heat sources (radiators, fireplaces) and prolonged sun exposure to prevent warping, cracking, or discoloration.

Always use placemats, coasters, and trivets to protect surfaces from heat, moisture, and scratches.

Wipe up any spilled liquid immediately to avoid stains and seepage.

2. Fabric furniture care guide

Fabric furniture brings warmth and comfort, but requires regular maintenance to maintain its original appearance and avoid premature wear.

Regular cleaning

Vacuum at least once a week using a soft attachment to remove dust, crumbs, and particles that can damage the fibers.

Shake or pat down removable cushions to maintain their shape and prevent dust buildup inside.

Stain treatment

Treat any stain immediately: dab gently with a clean cloth, without rubbing, using a mixture of lukewarm water and neutral soap.

For stubborn stains, use a suitable fabric cleaner or contact a professional.

Always test the product on an inconspicuous area before applying it to the entire surface.

Fabric maintenance

Apply a protective spray (stain-repellent or waterproofing) specifically designed for upholstery fabrics to improve its resistance to dirt.

Avoid direct sun exposure to prevent fabric fading.

Scrupulously follow the manufacturer's instructions for washing removable covers and ensure they are completely dry before putting them back on to avoid any residual moisture.

3. Metal furniture care guide

Metal furniture is distinguished by its sturdiness and modern aesthetic. Proper maintenance ensures its durability and preserves the quality of its coating.

Cleaning and routine maintenance

Regularly wipe the surface with a slightly dampened microfiber cloth to remove dust and marks.

For more stubborn dirt, use a mild, non-abrasive detergent, then rinse with a damp cloth before drying thoroughly.

Avoid any product that contains acids, solvents, or corrosive agents.

Corrosion prevention

Always dry metal surfaces after cleaning, as prolonged moisture can promote rust.

In humid environments (seaside, bathroom), regularly apply a thin layer of protective oil or a specific wax to strengthen the barrier against corrosion.

Usage precautions

Avoid bumps and scratches that could damage the paint or protective coating.

Use felt pads under the feet to protect both the furniture and the floors.

Do not place extremely hot or heavy objects directly on metal surfaces to avoid deformation or damage.
