Care & Maintenance Tips
1. Keep Furniture Dry
Most board-based furniture should be protected from water and moisture. Clean spills quickly and avoid placing wet items directly on the surface.
2. Use Soft Cleaning Materials
Use a soft cloth for cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals, rough brushes or sharp cleaning tools that may damage the surface finish.
3. Protect from Heavy Impact
Avoid dropping heavy objects on desks, tables, glass tops and shelves. Impact can damage surfaces, corners and hardware.
4. Check Hardware Regularly
Drawer channels, hinges, handles and locks should be checked from time to time. Early adjustment can prevent long-term damage.
5. Use Furniture According to Purpose
Every furniture item has a suitable use. Avoid overloading shelves, cabinets or tables beyond normal use to maintain durability.
