You can extend the life of upholstery materials and wood through regular care and cleaning.
Metal and stainless steel bases
For stainless steel bases, use a cleaning foam (e.g. Brill) to wash the base thoroughly, then apply a silicone oil to protect the surface from dirt. Other metal bases can simply be wiped with a damp cloth.
Wood
Remove dust from wooden furniture parts with a soft, clean, dry duster. For heavier soiling, use only products intended for wood — a wide range of wax- or oil-based care products is available that protect furniture from moisture and dust while giving the wood a beautiful shine. Follow the instructions on the product exactly. Wooden furniture does not tolerate water well — keep it dry, wipe only with a damp, soft cloth, and dry it immediately afterwards.
Leather
Leather is a natural material with a long lifespan when cared for properly. Remove dust with a soft cloth and occasionally wipe with a dry or slightly dampened cotton cloth. Protect leather from becoming soaked. To remove stains and everyday dirt, use lukewarm water with a mild soap and wipe in a circular motion without excessive pressure — never use chemicals to clean leather. Blot spilled water or alcohol immediately with a soft cloth. We recommend testing any cleaning or protective product first on a less visible area (side or back), as not every product suits every type of leather. Protect furniture upholstered in natural leather from moisture, excessive heat, and direct sunlight, as these reduce the leather's shine and lifespan.
Faux leather and eco-leather
Regular care and avoiding excessive soiling will keep the material looking good for a long time. To clean it, use a solution of lukewarm water and natural soap with a soft cloth or sponge; heavier dirt can be removed with a soft brush. After cleaning, wipe the surface with clean water and a dry cloth. Do not use products based on petrol, alcohol, solvents, or ammonia — they can damage or crack the material and change its colour or shine. Make sure water does not come into contact with the wooden parts of the product, and keep furniture away from heat sources such as radiators or heaters.
Fabric
Fabric upholstery is easy to maintain, though it still benefits from regular care. Remove dust with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner and wipe regularly with a damp cloth. For heavier soiling, use foam shampooing, keeping it away from the product's wooden parts, and make sure the solution does not soak into the fabric. Follow the cleaning product manufacturer's instructions exactly, and do not use products containing petrol or other solvents. Remove stains as soon as possible, before they dry — do not rub them, just blot with a clean cloth.
Synthetic rattan
Synthetic rattan furniture is very low-maintenance and requires no special care, as the material is highly water-resistant — all parts of the furniture can safely be cleaned with water.
Other furniture parts
Remove dust from woven parts with a vacuum cleaner and wipe the surface with a damp cloth if needed. Clean metal and plastic parts with soapy water, then dry and polish immediately with a soft cloth. For heavier soiling, use a cleaning product designed for metal or plastic, following the instructions on the product exactly.
