Sitting and sleeping furniture is an essential part of any home, providing comfort, functionality, and style while maximizing space. However, without proper furniture care, even the highest-quality pieces can show signs of wear and tear over time. Whether you own solid wood furniture, fabric furniture, or metal furniture, maintaining it regularly is key to preserving its beauty and durability.
Luckily, simple habits, such as wiping surfaces with a dry cloth and protecting wood furniture from excessive moisture can prevent damage and keep your investment looking fresh for years. By understanding the specific needs of each material, you can maintain the elegance and functionality of your furniture while creating a welcoming and well-kept living space.
Recycled Polyester Furniture
High-performance polyester is durable, stylish, and easy to maintain. Unlike natural fibers or leather, recycled polyester resists stains, fading, and wear, making it a practical choice for sustainable, long-lasting comfort. And, if you're worried about sustainability, know that all of SPAZE's polyester furniture is made with 50% recycled fabric.
Cleaning Tips
While polyester furniture is highly-durable and stain-resistant, regular cleaning is essential for keeping it functional and aesthetic. Here are some general maintenance tips:
-
Vacuum or brush your furniture weekly to remove dust and surface debris.
-
Rotate cushions regularly to maintain shape and prevent uneven wear.
-
Spot clean with a mild detergent and water using a clean microfiber cloth.
-
Gently blot spills—avoid rubbing, as this can damage fibers or set stains.
-
For deep cleaning, check if cushion covers are removable and machine washable.
Protecting from Damage
Even when designed for maximum durability, taking preventive measures will help keep your new polyester furniture in top condition.
-
Avoid prolonged direct sunlight exposure to prevent color fading.
-
Refrain from placing hot objects like oven-to-table food bowls directly on the fabric.
-
Use throws or pet covers if you have animals with sharp claws to prevent snags.
Repairing Minor Issues
Over time, even with careful furniture care, minor signs of damage can appear. Fortunately, small blemishes can often be fixed without professional help.
-
For snags, gently tuck the thread back into the fabric using a sewing needle—do not pull.
-
Use a fabric shaver to remove minor pilling and restore a smooth appearance.
-
For persistent stains or structural damage, consult a professional upholstery cleaner.
By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your polyester furniture remains in excellent condition, providing comfort and elegance for years to come.
Wood Furniture
Wooden furniture is a timeless addition to any home, known for its durability, natural beauty, and versatility. However, unlike metal furniture or leather furniture, wood is highly susceptible to scratches, dents, moisture damage, and fading. Proper furniture care is essential to protect wood surfaces and structural integrity. With regular cleaning, protection, and maintenance, you can keep your wood furniture looking as stunning as the day you bought it.
Cleaning and Polishing
Keeping wood furniture clean is essential to preserving its natural luster and preventing dirt buildup. Unlike fabric furniture, which can be vacuumed or steam-cleaned, wood requires a gentler touch to avoid damage.
-
Dust wood furniture regularly using a dry cloth or a microfiber duster to remove debris without scratching the surface.
-
For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and water, followed by a dry cloth to prevent moisture absorption.
-
Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, which can strip the wood’s finish and cause dullness.
-
Polishing and waxing help enhance the wood’s natural grain while adding a protective layer against dust and moisture. Apply furniture polish or natural wax every few months for a smooth, glossy finish.
Protecting Against Scratches and Dents
Unlike leather furniture or metal furniture, wood is prone to scratches and dents, which can ruin its appearance over time. Taking preventive measures will help maintain its pristine condition.
-
Use coasters and placemats to prevent water rings and stains from beverages.
-
Place furniture pads or felt protectors under chairs and table legs to avoid scratches on floors and surfaces.
-
Avoid placing heavy objects directly on wood, as they can cause dents and pressure marks.
-
Never drag furniture across floors—always lift and move it carefully to prevent damage.
Maintaining Finish
The finish on wood furniture protects it from wear and tear while enhancing its beauty. However, over time, finishes can wear down, requiring periodic maintenance.
-
If the finish looks dull or worn, reapply varnish, lacquer, or wood oil to restore its shine and protect the surface.
-
Understanding the type of finish on your wood furniture is crucial for proper care—some finishes, like polyurethane, require minimal maintenance, while others, like oil finishes, need regular reapplication.
-
Always test any new product on an inconspicuous area before applying it to the entire surface.
Preventing Damage from Sunlight and Humidity
Exposure to sunlight and humidity can cause wood furniture to fade, crack, or warp over time. Unlike outdoor furniture, which is designed to withstand the elements, indoor wood pieces require extra protection.
-
Position wood furniture away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and discoloration.
-
Use curtains or blinds to reduce UV exposure during peak sunlight hours.
-
Maintain stable indoor humidity levels, as excessive moisture can cause wood to swell and warp, while dry conditions can lead to cracks.
-
If necessary, use a humidifier in dry climates or a dehumidifier in humid areas to regulate moisture levels.
By following these furniture care tips, you can preserve the beauty and longevity of your wood furniture, ensuring it remains a cherished part of your home for years to come.
Furniture with Metal Components
From polished frames to industrial-inspired accents, metal components add both structure and style to modern furniture pieces. However, while metal is long-lasting, it still requires proper care to preserve its finish, prevent corrosion, and maintain its strength over time.
Cleaning Tips
Cleaning metal requires careful consideration for how it reacts to different chemicals, soft brushes, and other professional cleaning supplies. Here are our tips:
-
Wipe down metal surfaces weekly with a soft, damp cloth.
-
For smudges or grime, use soft cloth paired with a mild soap and water solution—avoid abrasive sponges.
-
Dry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent water spots or rust.
-
Avoid ammonia- or bleach-based cleaners, which can damage coatings.
Dealing with Rust and Wear on Metal Furniture
Metal furniture can be prone to rust and corrosion if not properly maintained.
-
Regularly inspect for rust spots and remove them with a wire brush or fine sandpaper.
-
Wipe the cleaned area with a dry cloth before applying a rust-resistant primer.
-
Apply a protective wax coating or a spray sealant to prevent further rust formation.
-
Keep metal furniture dry and covered when not in use to minimize exposure to moisture.
