Furniture Care
The texture and grain patterns on wood may vary depending on the way it is sawn and on the species. For example: sheesham wood is grown across several regions in India.
How to take care of your furniture?
Daily care and maintenance
- Wipe furniture surfaces with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth — avoid using soap or detergents.
- Dust regularly with a smooth, lint-free cloth to maintain a polished look.
- Stay away from rough or abrasive cleaning products that can scratch the finish.
- Do not apply silicone-based or spray polishes, as they often leave a sticky film on the surface.
- Always use thick mats or coasters before placing hot or cold items to protect the furniture from direct contact.
- Clean up any spills right away to prevent stains or long-term damage.
Occasional care and maintenance – every 6 months
- Since much of the furniture is hand-lacquered, we suggest using natural beeswax for care and protection.
- Gently apply a small amount of beeswax, then polish the surface with a soft, lint-free cloth to restore its original shine and beauty.
- Be careful not to overapply; always wipe away any extra wax with a dry cloth to avoid buildup.
General care and maintenance
- Keep furniture away from direct sunlight and avoid placing it in rooms with high heat or sudden temperature changes.
- If drawers become tight or joints start to separate, check the room’s humidity levels.
- Very dry conditions can cause the wood to bend, crack, or split.
- Avoid positioning furniture in conservatories or over underfloor heating, as this can damage the wood.
- Protect your wooden flooring by adding felt pads to the bottom of furniture legs.
- Leave about 3 cm of space behind tall units so air can flow freely around them.
- In rare cases of termite attack, treat the affected area immediately with an anti-termite injection.
- Use coasters or heatproof mats to shield surfaces from hot dishes, clean up any spills right away, and always place a pad under paper when writing to avoid scratches or marks.
- Always lift your furniture when moving it instead of dragging, as pulling can damage both the piece and your flooring.
Safety guide
- Avoid dragging or pushing your furniture, as this can loosen joints and make the piece unstable.
- Never stand or rock on chairs, since it may weaken their structure and cause damage.
Garden furniture
- Try not to leave garden furniture in very wet or extremely dry environments for long periods, as this can strip the wood of its natural oils and affect its durability.
Fabric furniture
- Clean up any spills right away using a clean, dry or slightly damp sponge, as the fabric does not have Scotchgard protection.
Upholstery
- Wipe up any spills immediately using a slightly damp cloth, then dry the surface thoroughly.
