Your furniture purchase is an investment. Here are a few tips to maximize the lifetime of your furniture with a minimum
amount of effort. Properly caring for your furniture can help ensure that it looks great year after year.
Granite Top Maintenance:
The surface of the granite on your table has been polished or sealed to create a
generally non-porous surface. The stone has many natural characteristics including:
veining, hairline cracks, and color variations - which make up the stone's beauty.
To maintain the beauty of your granite:
-Protect surfaces from scratching, staining and etching by:
* Keeping them free of debris or sharp objects
* Wiping up spills immediately
* Avoiding contact with chemicals (particularly acid-based materials)
-Clean with pH neutral products or those especially formulated for use on stone.
-It is not recommended to use a water-based solvent for dark granite as it will remove
the polish from the surface.
-After a period of use, apply a penetrating sealer to prevent contaminants from being
absorbed into the stone.
-Remove stains with special absorbent poultices formulated for use on stone.
-Renew the surface on polished granite (granite with a high gloss surface) by buffing
with special stone polish, powder or cream.
Do not use granite polish on granite with a matte finish, which has been honed rather
than polished. (Penetrating sealer may be used on both polished and honed granite.)
Marble Top Maintenance:
Marble may be stone, but it is porous stone and can stain easily. Treating marble
surfaces the same as wood surfaces is a great rule of thumb.
-It is recommended to seal the tops on a regular basis (every 6 to 12 months).
A good quality stone sealer can be purchased from any tiles/stone store or any
homecare store and should be applied according to the manufacturer's
recommendation.
-When sealed properly, marble tops can be used indoors and outdoors and can
withstand any weather conditions except internal freezing. Snow or freezing rain will
penetrate the table and cause cracks.
Caring for the Fabric on Upholstered Furniture:
-Frequent vacuuming of the entire upholstered area will prevent dust from settling into
the fibers.
-Professional cleaning is always recommended for all upholstered pieces.
-Always pre-test a small area of fabric in an inconspicuous area when cleaning before
proceeding.
-Do not use cleaning products containing brightening agents.
Wood Furniture Maintenance:
-Always dust, wipe, and clean with the grain of the wood.
-Dust with a soft cloth. Dust will scratch the furniture surface if not
removed properly.
-Use the same type of polish consistently as interchanging oil based
and wax-based polishes will cause a build-up and result in a foggy or
cloudy appearance.
-If a polished surface becomes foggy, rub it with a cloth dipped in a
solution of one tablespoon vinegar to one quart of water. Rub softly
with the grain until the surface is completely dry.
-Soap and water are not advisable for wood surfaces. Water can
penetrate the finish and raise the grai
n on wood, causing damage.
-Remember to change dusting cloths frequently as dirty cloths may
scratch your furniture's surface.
The Enemies of Wood:
-Moisture is wood's worst enemy. Liquid spills should be gently
wiped up immediately. Coasters should be used under all beverages.
-Do not allow rubber or vinyl materials to lie on the furniture.
Chemicals in rubber may leave a stain. Put a strip of felt or leather
under accessories that have rubber or vinyl.
-Heat creates a chemical change in the furniture's finish, which
results in a white spot. Use protective pads under hot dishes,
appliances, etc.
-Sunlight's ultraviolet rays can damage the finish of furniture. Do not
place furniture directly against a heater or radiator and do not place in
the path of hot streams of air from central heating. This will cause
extreme localized drying of the wood.
High Gloss Resin Table Maintenance:
-Resin tabletops have approximately 1/8" of a resin coat on the top
face of the table, which will resist ice, water, wine, liquor, food,
cleaning fluids, and warm or hot liquids; however, cups, glasses, etc.
containing hot liquids should not be left on the table without a coaster
for protection.
-Resin tabletops will scratch just the same as any other glossy surface
and basic precautions should be taken.
-For lasting shine, the resin table should be waxed with a car wax that
does not contain silicon. Maintaining this wax build-up will result in
a high gloss shine.
-When wiping down the table, a soft, clean rag should be used. Do
not use a heavy paper.
