Furniture Care and Maintenance Guide

Wooden furniture is timeless and exudes natural beauty, but requires careful maintenance for longevity. Besides regular cleaning, avoid strong chemicals, as they can damage the wood’s surface.

For cleaning, use only water with a slightly damp cotton cloth, then dry to avoid damage.

Heat and Water Protection: Wood is sensitive to temperature and moisture changes, so use coasters and promptly wipe up spills.

Sunlight and Fading: Wood can fade in direct sunlight. Place in a shadier area or use a UV-protective treatment.

High-gloss furniture requires special care. Use a soft microfiber cloth lightly dampened with a 50% water and 50% ethyl alcohol solution to clean, preserving shine and surface.

Avoidable Materials: Avoid dry cloths, acetone, or thinner as these may damage the lacquer.

Spot-Free Cleaning: Glass cleaner is usable but avoid spraying directly on furniture to prevent spotting.

Sunlight Protection: Protect furniture from sunlight to maintain its long-term shine.

Keeping glass furniture clean is simple but avoid scratches. Use a mild glass cleaner and soft cloth to prevent streaks and spots.

Scratch Prevention: Avoid placing metal objects on glass surfaces, as they can scratch and shorten the furniture’s lifespan.

Leather furniture exudes luxury and, with proper care, remains durable. For weekly cleaning, use a slightly damp or dry cloth.

For Stains: Clean using a slightly damp cloth and mild soap. Always test on a hidden area to ensure no damage.

Avoid: solvents, steam, general stain removers, or shoe products, as these can damage the finish.

Water and Heat Protection: Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources that may damage the leather. Water should never sit on the surface, as it may cause damage.

Note that sweat and body oils are leather’s biggest enemies.

Ecoleather, or faux leather, is easy to clean but requires certain precautions. Wipe weekly with a soft cloth to maintain the surface.

Spot Treatment: Clean spots immediately with mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly.

Avoidable Products: Do not use strong chemicals, as these can damage the surface.

Fabric furniture is comfortable but can get dirty easily. Vacuum regularly, especially cushions, to maintain color and condition.

Spot Treatment: Quickly wipe spills to prevent stains and use fabric cleaner.

Most Samoa sofas have removable, washable covers for easier cleaning and maintenance. Check with the retailer for specific model details.

UV Protection: Place furniture in shaded areas or use UV-blocking treatments to prevent fading.

Plastic and acrylic furniture is easy to clean but prone to scratches. Clean with a soft cloth and avoid solvents that may damage the material.

UV Protection: UV exposure can make the material brittle over time, so try to shield it from direct sunlight.
