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.
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.
