Care and Maintenance
Keep your furniture looking beautiful with proper care and maintenance.
General Care and Maintenance
- Stay away from abrasive cleaners and products (sandpaper, hard bristle brushes, etc.)
- Never leave a wet cleaning substance on furniture to dry; it can damage the finish. Always wipe the residue off with a clean, dry cloth.
- When in doubt, use warm soapy water and a clean cloth.
- Test inconspicuous areas first (especially on solid wood and upholstery).
- Tighten and examine screws every month.
- Any products showing defects should be taken out of service and reported to the factory.
- Periodically tighten hardware.
- Repair chopped powder coat and defaced wood surfaces with touch-up paints and stains from our factory.
- Furniture with missing glides or other damage should be remove from service immediately.
- Turning seating upside down on the table voids the warranty.
Indoor Surfaces
Wood
Wood surfaces are inclusive of wood seating and solid wood table tops.
Care Instructions: Wipe surface with a mild soap or liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water solution. Wipe dry with clean, soft cloth. Always leave furniture dry.
Tip: Avoid using any citrus-based products on wood chairs and tables — the citrus acts as a stain or finish stripper on wood products.
Metal
Wipe surface with a mild soap or liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water solution. Disinfect the surface with a non-abrasive household cleaner like Formula 409®,Fantastik®, Windex®, or diluted SimpleGreen®. Wipe dry with clean, soft cloth.
Tip: Never let cleaning or disinfecting products dry onto the furniture surface. This can weaken and damage the epoxy finish leading to chips and scratches.
Laminate
Clean surface with a mild soap or liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water solution. Disinfect the surface with a non-abrasive household cleaner — more information below. Wipe dry with clean, soft cloth.
- Wilsonart: Windex®, Glass Plus®, Fantastik®, Mr. Clean®, Formula 409®, Purell® Multi-Surface, Isopropyl Alcohol. See Wilsonart’s complete cleaning and care guide for laminates.
- Other laminates: A non-abrasive household cleaner like Formula 409®, Fantastik®, Windex®, or diluted SimpleGreen®.
Tip: Laminate is a hardy product, so for stubborn stains, a soft bristle brush with light scrubbing is acceptable.
Table Edges
Wood, Vinyl, and Urethane
Wipe surface with a mild soap or liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water solution. Wipe dry with clean, soft cloth.
Tip: These three edges are vastly different in material and properties. To ensure minimal damage, opt for mild, soapy water.
Corian Tops
Use soapy water, ammonia-based cleaner (not window cleaner), rinse and wipe completely dry. Commercially available solid surface cleaners, such as Clean EnCounters® will also work well.
See Corian’s complete solid surface care and maintenance documentation.
Upholstery
Not all textiles are created equal — certain materials will require different cleaning techniques and products. Please refer to the fabric manufacturers’ cleaning instructions for more information.
Outdoor Surfaces
