At Woodlume, we want your furniture to remain comfortable, functional, and beautiful for years to come. Proper care and regular maintenance can help protect your furniture from everyday wear and keep it looking its best. Follow these general care recommendations for sofas, chairs, Frames & Bases, coffee tables, and other furniture products.
1. General Furniture Care
-
Dust furniture regularly with a soft, clean cloth to prevent the buildup of dirt and debris.
-
Clean spills as soon as possible to help prevent stains and surface damage.
-
Avoid placing furniture in direct sunlight for extended periods, as this may cause fading or discoloration.
-
Keep furniture away from excessive heat, moisture, and sudden temperature changes.
-
Follow the product-specific care instructions whenever they are provided.
2. Sofa and Upholstered Furniture Care
-
Vacuum upholstery regularly using a suitable attachment to remove dust, crumbs, and loose debris.
-
Blot spills gently with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this may push stains deeper into the fabric.
-
Use only cleaning products appropriate for the specific upholstery material. Test any cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area first.
-
Avoid soaking fabric or using harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive cleaning tools.
-
Rotate or adjust removable cushions periodically, where applicable, to promote more even wear.
-
Keep sharp objects, pet claws, and rough surfaces away from upholstery to help reduce snags and scratches.
3. Chair Care
-
Clean chair surfaces according to their materials, whether fabric, wood, metal, or another finish.
-
Check chair legs, joints, and fasteners periodically to ensure they remain secure.
-
Avoid leaning excessively on chair backs or standing on chairs.
-
Use chairs on stable, level surfaces and observe the product's stated weight capacity.
-
Lift chairs when moving them rather than dragging them across the floor to reduce damage to both the furniture and flooring.
4. Frames & Bases Care
-
Inspect frames, bases, support components, and connecting hardware regularly for looseness or visible damage.
-
Tighten screws and bolts when necessary, following the product instructions. Avoid overtightening.
-
Ensure the frame or base is assembled correctly before use.
-
Place the product on a stable, level surface and distribute weight as recommended.
-
Do not use furniture with cracked, bent, unstable, or damaged structural components until the issue has been addressed.
-
Keep metal components dry and wipe away moisture promptly to help reduce the risk of corrosion.
5. Coffee Table and Hard-Surface Furniture Care
-
Wipe surfaces with a soft cloth, using a slightly damp cloth when appropriate for the material.
-
Dry surfaces promptly after cleaning, especially wood and metal components.
-
Use coasters under drinks and protective mats under hot dishes to help prevent water rings, heat marks, and scratches.
-
Avoid abrasive sponges, scouring powders, and harsh chemical cleaners.
-
Do not place excessive weight on tabletops or sit or stand on furniture unless the product is specifically designed for that purpose.
6. Wood and Finished Surfaces
-
Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
-
Clean spills promptly and avoid leaving standing water on the surface.
-
Use furniture polish only when it is suitable for the specific finish and recommended by the manufacturer.
-
Avoid direct sunlight and excessive humidity, which may contribute to fading, swelling, or cracking.
-
Use felt pads or protective covers beneath decorative objects to help prevent scratches.
7. Metal and Other Materials
-
Wipe metal surfaces with a soft cloth and dry them thoroughly after cleaning.
-
Avoid strong acids, bleach, and abrasive products that may damage finishes.
-
For glass or other specialty materials, use a cleaner specifically suitable for that surface and follow the product instructions.
-
Inspect visible hardware and connections periodically, particularly on furniture that is frequently moved.
8. Assembly and Safety
-
Assemble furniture according to the instructions provided with the product.
-
Use the recommended hardware and components. Do not substitute parts unless approved by the manufacturer.
-
Recheck fasteners periodically, especially after moving or reassembling furniture.
-
Keep furniture away from unstable surfaces and avoid placing heavy objects where they may cause tipping.
-
Follow any wall-anchoring instructions supplied with products that require additional stability measures.
-
Stop using furniture if it becomes unstable or shows signs of structural damage.
9. Everyday Maintenance Tips
A little routine care goes a long way. Dust furniture weekly, clean spills promptly, inspect moving parts and fasteners regularly, and address minor issues before they become more serious. For specialized materials or difficult stains, consult the product's care instructions or seek advice from a qualified cleaning professional.
