Protect and maintain your furniture.
Exotic and solid wood furniture gives your interior a warm and authentic note from elsewhere. The grain of natural materials such as wood may vary and this is considered a characteristic and not a defect. Wood is a living natural material that can react to the humidity and dryness around it, its contraction and expansion are among its characteristics.
In order to preserve the natural beauty of exotic woods, there are some very useful best practices and cleaning tips to know.
- Place your furniture away from heat sources, such as heaters, fireplaces and air ducts.
- Maintain a stable temperature and humidity level in your home.
- Protect your furniture from direct exposure to sunlight to avoid discoloration of the wood.
- Avoid placing hot or wet objects on the wood. This could whiten the varnish.
- Use heat-resistant trivets.
- Accessories placed on your furniture can discolor the wood in the long term. Move them from time to time.
- Do not use any commercial cleaning products. This could dull the varnish and wood in the long term.
- Dust your furniture with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth, in the direction of the wood grain.
- Use a dry or damp cloth, but not wet, to clean your wooden furniture.
- Immediately blot up any spilled liquid.
