Savona Swivel Chair

Vacuum upholstered surfaces weekly using a soft brush attachment to lift dust and prevent fibre compaction. For removable cushion covers, rotate and flip cushions monthly to distribute wear evenly. Brush velvet and bouclé in the direction of the pile to maintain consistency.

Avoid placing upholstered furniture in direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as UV exposure can cause fading over time. Keep away from heat sources such as radiators or fireplaces.

Blot liquid spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth — never rub or scrub, as this can push stains deeper into the fibres and damage the texture. For water-based stains, use a lightly damp cloth with a mild soap solution, working from the outside of the stain inward.

Always test any cleaning product on a small, inconspicuous area first. Avoid bleach, ammonia, and harsh chemical cleaners. For stubborn stains, consult a professional upholstery cleaner.

Do: Use coasters and protective throws on high-contact areas. Keep pets with untrimmed claws off upholstered surfaces. Use plain white towels when cleaning to prevent dye transfer.

Don't: Use furniture polish, baby wipes, or all-purpose cleaners on fabric. Place newspapers or dark-dyed textiles directly on light upholstery. Over-saturate fabric with cleaning solution.

Professional steam cleaning every 12 months is recommended for thorough maintenance. Steam cleaning eliminates bacteria, dust mites, and trapped odours while refreshing the fabric's appearance.

For leather upholstery, seek professional leather cleaning or restoration for deep stains, scratches, or structural damage. Annual professional conditioning is recommended for heavily used leather pieces.

Dust wooden surfaces weekly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For occasional deeper cleaning, use a lightly damp cloth and dry immediately — never leave moisture on wood. Always wipe in the direction of the grain to prevent scratching.

Treat natural and oiled wood finishes with a suitable wood conditioner every 6–12 months to maintain lustre and prevent drying. Rotate accessories on surfaces to prevent uneven ageing.

Wipe up spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Wood is susceptible to water rings, heat marks, and staining from prolonged contact with liquids. For sticky residues, use a lightly damp cloth with mild soap, then dry thoroughly.

Avoid harsh chemicals, ammonia-based cleaners, and abrasive pads. For persistent marks on oiled or waxed wood, lightly sand with ultra-fine sandpaper in the direction of the grain and re-oil.

Do: Use coasters, placemats, and trivets to protect from heat and moisture. Use felt pads under decorative objects. Maintain consistent humidity levels to minimise wood movement.

Don't: Place hot items directly on the surface. Drag objects across the wood. Use silicone-based polishes that can build up over time. Position near radiators, fireplaces, or in direct sunlight.

Wood is a living material that responds to its environment. Maintain stable indoor humidity (40–60%) to prevent cracking, warping, or joint loosening. Avoid positioning furniture near underfloor heating vents.

Protect from prolonged direct sunlight, which can cause fading and discolouration. For veneered surfaces, take extra care to avoid peeling — never use excess water or place heavy, wet items on the surface.

Wipe metal surfaces regularly with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust and maintain sheen. For light marks or fingerprints, use a damp cloth followed by a dry one. Always use pH-neutral, non-abrasive cleaners.

For brushed finishes, always wipe in the direction of the grain. For polished finishes, use circular motions with a lint-free cloth to bring out the shine.

Clean spills immediately — even water can leave marks on certain metal finishes. For stubborn marks, use a diluted mild soap solution and dry thoroughly. Never allow cleaning solutions to sit on the surface.

For tarnished brass or copper, a paste of equal parts vinegar, salt, and flour can help restore lustre. Always rinse and dry completely after treatment.

Do: Use coasters, placemats, and felt pads under decor. Test any cleaner on a hidden area first. Apply automotive wax or beeswax periodically to add a protective barrier.

Don't: Use scouring pads, steel wool, or abrasive polishes. Leave moisture or spills to sit. Use bleach, ammonia, or harsh chemicals. Attempt to polish intentionally patinated or antique finishes.

Keep metal furnishings in well-ventilated, dry environments. Excessive moisture can lead to corrosion or tarnishing. Apply a thin layer of furniture wax twice a year to create a protective barrier.

Inspect regularly for chips or scratches in paint or coating — exposed metal is vulnerable to rust. Touch up any damage promptly with a rust-inhibiting primer and matching paint. For valuable or antique pieces, consult a specialist metalworker.

Use a soft, lint-free cloth or microfiber duster to remove surface dust without scratching. For fingerprints and smudges, use a clean, slightly damp microfiber cloth followed by a dry cloth to polish.

Apply a streak-free, ammonia-free glass cleaner to a cloth — not directly to the surface — then wipe gently. Avoid spraying cleaner near wooden, metal, or stone components.

Clean spills immediately to avoid damage to supporting materials such as wood or brass trim. Never use scouring pads, powder cleaners, or rough cloths, as they scratch and dull the finish.

For hard water marks, use a mild solution of white vinegar and warm water applied with a cloth, followed by a clean water wipe. Avoid this method near stone or metal finishes.

Even toughened glass can crack or shatter if struck with force. Avoid placing heavy or sharp items directly on the surface. Place soft felt or rubber pads under decorative objects to prevent micro-scratches.

Always lift objects rather than dragging them. Use trivets or coasters under hot and cold items. Consider placement away from high-traffic zones if used on low-level tables.

Schedule a thorough clean with a professional-grade glass cleaner, checking edges, frames, and structural components. Periodically inspect metal or wooden frames supporting the glass, tightening screws and checking joints.

Some tinted or treated glass may fade under prolonged direct sunlight — consider blinds or UV-filtering window film where needed.

Dust daily with a dry microfiber cloth to prevent surface grit acting as sandpaper. Clean with a soft, damp cloth and a pH-neutral stone cleaner — never use generic kitchen sprays or all-purpose cleaners.

Dry the surface after cleaning to prevent water spots. For polished marble, always wipe gently to maintain the natural sheen without streaking.

Natural marble is porous and must be sealed with a penetrating stone sealant. Reapply every 6–12 months, or when water no longer beads on the surface. Sintered stone does not require sealing.

Always use coasters, placemats, and trivets. Never place hot items directly on marble without protection. Use felt pads beneath decorative pieces to prevent scratches.

Do: Use pH-neutral cleaners formulated for natural stone. Blot spills immediately with a soft cloth. Have the surface professionally sealed on a regular schedule.

Don't: Use acidic cleaners (vinegar, lemon, citrus-based products). Use abrasive pads, scouring powders, or steel wool. Let liquids sit on the surface — even water can leave marks. Drag items across the stone.

For etching or dull spots, light honing by a stone care professional can restore the finish. Deep stains may require professional poulticing. Annual professional polishing is recommended for high-use surfaces.

Chips to edges of sintered stone can often be repaired — keep any broken pieces and contact an approved specialist. For natural marble scratches, consult a stone care professional rather than attempting DIY repair.

Handle all ceramic items with care, especially those with sculptural or irregular silhouettes. Place on stable surfaces away from shelf edges to minimise the risk of accidental knocks.

Dust with a soft, dry microfiber cloth or feather duster. For deeper cleaning, wipe with a slightly damp cloth using lukewarm water. For matte or unglazed finishes, avoid excess moisture — clean with a dry or barely damp cloth.

For light stains on glazed surfaces, use a gentle soap and water solution with a soft cloth. A paste of baking soda and water can lift stubborn marks without scratching. For organic stains, hydrogen peroxide diluted with water is effective.

For unglazed or terracotta pieces, address spills immediately — the porous surface absorbs liquids quickly and can discolour permanently. Avoid abrasive pads, scouring powders, or acid-based cleaners.

Do not leave water in ceramic vases for extended periods. Due to the natural porosity of ceramic, especially in handmade pieces, water can seep through, causing condensation, surface damage, or leakage.

For fresh flower arrangements, use a waterproof liner or insert a smaller glass vessel inside the vase. Empty and dry the vase completely after each use.

Keep ceramic items away from direct sunlight, damp areas, and heat sources, as temperature fluctuations may cause expansion, contraction, or fine cracking. Avoid outdoor use unless specifically stated as outdoor-safe.

Store with soft cloth or felt between stacked pieces to prevent chipping. When moving ceramic pieces, always lift from the base — never from handles or rims.
