General Care Guidelines

  • Dust regularly using a soft, dry cloth to prevent dust buildup.
  • Keep away from direct sunlight to avoid fading of fabrics and finishes.
  • Use coasters and placemats to protect surfaces from heat, stains, and watermarks.
  • Lift—don’t drag. Always lift furniture to move it and protect joints and legs.
  • Clean spills immediately by blotting with a dry, clean cloth. Avoid rubbing.

Material-Specific Care Tips

Upholstered Fabric

  • Vacuum weekly using a soft brush attachment.
