Care and Maintenance Information

Proper care and maintenance will ensure your furniture remains beautiful and functional for years to come. Our epoxy resin and solid wood pieces are crafted to last, but following these guidelines will help preserve their natural beauty and extend their lifespan.

Epoxy Resin Furniture Care

Daily Care

Clean spills immediately to prevent staining or damage to the resin surface
Use a soft, damp microfiber cloth for regular cleaning
Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or rough sponges that can scratch the surface
For deeper cleaning, use mild dish soap mixed with warm water

Protection Tips

Use coasters and placemats to protect from heat, moisture, and scratches
Avoid placing hot items (above 200°F/93°C) directly on the epoxy surface
Keep furniture away from direct sunlight to prevent UV damage and yellowing
Use felt pads under decorative items to prevent scratching

Long-term Maintenance

Polish monthly with a high-quality furniture polish designed for synthetic surfaces
For minor scratches, use a plastic polish or automotive compound
Deep scratches may require professional restoration
Avoid harsh chemicals like acetone, bleach, or ammonia-based cleaners

Solid Wood Furniture Care

Daily Maintenance

Dust regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth following the wood grain
Clean up spills immediately to prevent water rings and stains
Use mild soap and water sparingly for cleaning, then dry immediately
Avoid excessive moisture which can cause warping or cracking

Environmental Considerations

Maintain consistent humidity (30-50% relative humidity) to prevent wood movement
Keep away from heat sources like radiators, fireplaces, and heating vents
Avoid direct sunlight which can cause fading and drying
Use a humidifier in dry climates and dehumidifier in humid conditions

Protective Measures

Always use coasters for drinks and hot items
Place placemats or tablecloths during meals
Use trivets or hot pads for serving dishes
Employ furniture pads under lamps, decorative items, and electronics

Periodic Care

Apply furniture wax or oil every 3-6 months depending on use and environment
For oil finishes: use appropriate wood oil (tung oil, Danish oil, or manufacturer-recommended product)
For wax finishes: apply paste wax in thin, even coats
Always test treatments in an inconspicuous area first

General Guidelines for Both Materials

Moving and Handling

Always lift furniture rather than dragging to prevent floor damage and joint stress
Use furniture sliders for repositioning heavy pieces
Support tables by their legs or base, not by the top surface
When moving, wrap carefully to prevent scratches and damage

Seasonal Adjustments

Wood furniture may expand and contract with seasonal changes - this is normal
Adjust furniture placement if you notice gaps or tight fits in drawers
Monitor for any unusual changes in appearance or stability

Professional Maintenance

Consider professional refinishing every 10-15 years for solid wood pieces
Epoxy surfaces can be professionally polished to restore high gloss
Address structural issues promptly to prevent further damage
Keep warranty information and care instructions for reference

What to Avoid

Never use harsh chemicals such as bleach, ammonia, or abrasive cleaners
Avoid furniture polishes containing silicone on wood surfaces
Don't place wet items directly on wood surfaces
Never use paper towels or rough cloths that can scratch surfaces
Avoid extreme temperature changes

Storage Recommendations

If you need to store your furniture temporarily:

Clean thoroughly before storage
Store in a climate-controlled environment
Cover with breathable materials (cotton sheets, not plastic)
Elevate pieces off the floor to prevent moisture damage
Check periodically for any signs of pest activity or environmental damage
