With this in mind to help you get the most from your new furniture we have put together this short guide, which in addition to helping you to avoid problems encountered through incorrect use, also offers advise should unexpected accidents happen. 

Furniture finishes:

Although resistance to abrasion and spills can vary depending on the finish, the wood's natural structure creates variances in wood grain, pattern and shades. The colour of the veneer or the finish can also affect the appearance, with very light or very dark finishes tending to show any minor imperfectons. The majority of finishes can lighten or darken over time., this will be more noticeable on unexposed parts of your furniture, for example - table leaves. 

How to avoid damage to your furniture:

Avoid placing your furniture next to radiators, fires or windows as the changes in temperature can result in cracks and distortion. Protect the surface of your furniture from hot items such as the plates and dishes and wipe any spills immediately. 

Don't overload drawers and shelves as this can cause permanent distortion of your furniture.

Wood and veneer maintenance:

Wipe with a slightly damp cloth and use a small amount of mind, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid using silicone based spray and polishes and wax, as these may cause smears and small colour patches on matt surfaces and wax build up can be difficult to remove.

We recommend that the use of a wax free cleaner polish, available from Downtown, is used every three months, to maintain the natural beauty of your furniture. 

Oiled oak maintenance:

To maintain your furniture in perfect condition, once a month for three months you should apply a thin coat of furniture oil with a lint free cloth and then after the three months, once a year should be sufficient to maintain the soft oil finish of your furniture. 

Marble maintenance:

Marble can retain its attractive appearance for thousands of years, however, it is vulnerable to hard knocks and scratches to the edges. Use a mild soap solution to wash the surface of the marble and do not expose your marble furniture to solvents such as thinners or acids as it has received a varnish treatment to ensure that it's surface is resistant to grease, wine, spirits etc.
