FURNITURE CARE & MAINTAINENCE

1. Marble &  Stone

Marble is a natural stone material that is organically porous, soft, and sensitive to chemicals. Thus, any substances that are left on marble surfaces can stain.

  • Clean any spills and crumbs immediately with a lightly dampened cloth to minimize the imperfections to the item. Blot spills before wiping to avoid the spread of spills
  • Avoid leaving drink cups or bottles. The marble can be stained due to water condensation. Using coasters and placemats is a good way to protect the stone
  • Clean the marble with a damped cloth and wipe dry instead of the use of cleaning solutions that easily cause stain, corrosion and tarnish of the surfaces

2. Timber & Wood

Wood is a permeable material. Sudden and extreme changes in temperature and humidity can easily cause the wood to crack, split or warp. In addition,

The wood surfaces requires more attention than others. Heavy objects or extreme pressure can result in scratches and dent.

  • Place the furniture away from direct heat sources
  • Clean any spills and crumbs immediately with a lightly dampened cloth to minimize the imperfections to the item. Blot spills before wiping to avoid the spread of spills
  • Keep the integrity of the wooden furniture with coasters and placemats
  • Dust every few days or so with a dry towel or duster to remove abrasive build ups of dust
  • Do not place the wooden furniture in extremely high or low humidity condition

3. Fabrics

We apply various fabrics on our products. Fabrics do naturally fade over time and get pilling after constant use. Take these steps below to help prevent or slow this process.

  • A vacuum with low suction and a soft brush will remove the dust and damaging dirt particles
  • Blot spills immediately with a soft, clean cloth or absorbent paper towel. If possible, clean them before the spills dry
  • It’s normal to get pilling due to constant use. The pills can be removed by a power operated pilling tool
  • Remember to clean the fabric bi-annually or yearly
  • Rotate reversible seat cushions regularly to develop even cushioning on a sofa

4. Velvet Fabric

Velvet is a sleek, soft fabric with a densely plush nap. At Get Set Style Furniture, we usually use this kind of fabrics on our products. It’s normal to find shading, marking and texturing of the pile and these are characteristics of velvet.

  • A soft dry brush in the direction of the pile to restore the natural fabric direction and loft. This also will help to will remove the dust and damaging dirt particles that accumulate
  • Blot spills immediately with a soft, clean cloth or absorbent paper towel. If possible, clean them before the spills dry. If you leave these spots untreated, they can eventually lead to bald patches
  • It’s normal to get pilling due to constant use. The pills can be removed by a power operated pilling tool
  • Do not place the product near direct heat sources
  • Keep the product away from sharp or abrasive items

 5. Leather

Leather has a protective layer to resist most spills. Gentle care with suitable products is required to maintain the leather furniture.

  • Vacuum or dust the products weekly to remove the dust with a soft attachment
  • Clean it with the product designed for leather. Avoid vigorous rubbing
  • Wet items can leave a watermark on the leather, avoid placing those on top
  • Do not place in direct sunlight and near heat sources
  • Dye transfer from clothes or other fabrics is possible. Quickly wipe with baby wipes if you notice this

6. PU Leather

PU leather is an artificial leather made of thermoplastic polymer usually used for making furniture. PU doesn’t absorb water which makes it easy to clean and it doesn’t dry out over time. 

  • Dust with a dry or slightly damp lint free cloth
  • While the PU leather is water-resistant, prolonged exposure to humidity may still damage and cause the leather to lose its supple texture. Extremely moist air may harm the leather product
  • Do not place in direct sunlight and near heat sources
  • Dye transfer from clothes or other fabrics is possible. Quickly wipe with baby wipes if you notice this
  • Do not use abrasive cleaning agents on the material. Harsh chemicals like bleach and detergents may damage the product.

Most of Get Set Style end table are made of tempered glass that is tougher and more durable than regular one. However, improper maintenance may damage the glass. 

  • Dust and clean glass regularly with a soft and dry cloth
  • Protect the glass with coasters and placemats
  • Handle the glass product with care and do not drop objects onto the glass surface
  • Avoid contact with sharp or hard objects
