At Kalvennor, we want your furniture to remain comfortable, functional, and beautiful for years to come. Proper care and regular maintenance can help protect your furniture from everyday wear and keep it looking its best.
Because furniture can be made from different materials and finishes, always check the product-specific care instructions before cleaning or treating a particular item. When in doubt, test any cleaning method on a small, inconspicuous area first.
General Furniture Care
Keep furniture away from excessive moisture, direct sunlight, and extreme heat whenever possible. Prolonged exposure to these conditions may affect the appearance, finish, or structural components of certain furniture materials.
Use furniture for its intended purpose and avoid placing excessive weight on surfaces, shelves, drawers, or other components.
Regularly remove dust and loose debris using a soft, clean, dry cloth or a suitable soft-bristle attachment. Avoid abrasive materials that may scratch or damage the surface.
Wood Furniture Care
Wood furniture benefits from gentle and consistent care. Dust regularly with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth, following the care instructions provided with your product.
Clean spills promptly using a clean, soft cloth. Avoid allowing water or other liquids to remain on wooden surfaces for extended periods.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, steel wool, or rough cleaning pads unless specifically recommended for the particular finish.
Avoid placing very hot items directly on wood surfaces. Use suitable coasters, placemats, or protective pads when appropriate.
Natural wood may have variations in grain, color, texture, and pattern. These characteristics are normal and can contribute to the unique appearance of each piece.
Veneer and Finished Surfaces
Veneer and finished furniture should be cleaned gently to help protect the surface.
Use a soft cloth to remove dust and wipe up spills as soon as possible. Do not saturate the surface with water or cleaning solution.
Avoid dragging decorative objects, appliances, or other items across the furniture surface, as this may cause scratches or marks.
Upholstered Furniture Care
Vacuum upholstered furniture regularly using a suitable upholstery attachment to remove dust, crumbs, and loose debris.
For spills, gently blot the affected area with a clean, absorbent cloth. Avoid rubbing aggressively, as this may push the liquid deeper into the fabric or affect its appearance.
Before using any cleaning product, review the care instructions for the specific upholstery material. Different fabrics may require different cleaning methods.
Keep upholstered furniture away from prolonged direct sunlight when possible, as exposure may contribute to fading over time.
Leather Furniture Care
For leather furniture, regularly remove dust with a soft, dry cloth.
Clean spills promptly by gently blotting the affected area. Avoid excessive water and harsh household cleaning products unless they are specifically suitable for the type of leather.
Do not place leather furniture in direct sunlight or directly next to strong heat sources for prolonged periods.
Leather is a natural material and may develop variations in color, texture, and appearance over time. Normal changes in appearance are part of the character of genuine leather.
Glass Surfaces
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean glass surfaces.
For fingerprints and light marks, use a suitable glass cleaner or a mild cleaning solution as recommended for the product.
Do not use abrasive pads, rough cloths, or sharp objects that may scratch the glass.
Clean spills promptly to help prevent staining or residue buildup.
Metal Components
Wipe metal surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust.
For light cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth when appropriate and dry the surface afterward.
Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, and harsh chemicals that may damage protective finishes or cause discoloration.
If a metal surface becomes scratched or damaged, follow the product-specific care instructions rather than applying an unapproved treatment.
Cleaning Products
Always use cleaning products that are appropriate for the specific material and finish of your furniture.
Before applying a cleaner to a visible surface, test it on a small, hidden area whenever possible.
Avoid using bleach, strong solvents, abrasive cleaners, or other harsh chemicals unless the product's care instructions specifically recommend them.
Never mix different cleaning products together.
Protecting Furniture From Everyday Wear
Use coasters, placemats, table covers, or protective pads where appropriate to reduce exposure to moisture, heat, stains, and scratches.
Lift furniture when moving it instead of dragging it across the floor whenever possible. For larger or heavier pieces, use appropriate assistance and follow the assembly or handling instructions.
Avoid sitting, standing, or climbing on furniture surfaces that are not designed to support such use.
Keep drawers, doors, hinges, and moving components free from excessive force. If a component becomes difficult to operate, check whether adjustment or maintenance is recommended in the product instructions.
Temperature and Humidity
Furniture can be affected by changes in temperature and humidity. Whenever possible, maintain a stable indoor environment and avoid placing furniture directly next to heating equipment, air conditioners, fireplaces, or other strong sources of heat or moisture.
Natural materials such as wood may expand or contract slightly as environmental conditions change. This is a normal characteristic of many natural furniture materials.
Regular Inspection
Periodically inspect screws, bolts, connectors, legs, handles, hinges, and other hardware.
If you notice a loose component, tighten it according to the product's assembly instructions. Do not overtighten hardware, as excessive force may damage the furniture.
Stop using a piece of furniture if you notice significant structural damage or instability, and contact our customer service team if you need assistance.
Moving and Storing Furniture
When moving furniture, remove loose items and, where possible, separate removable components according to the product instructions.
Lift furniture rather than dragging it whenever possible. Protect corners and surfaces during transportation.
If furniture needs to be stored, keep it in a clean, dry, well-ventilated environment and protect it from excessive moisture, extreme temperatures, and prolonged direct sunlight.
Product-Specific Instructions
Care requirements may vary depending on the materials, finishes, construction, and design of each furniture item.
Always prioritize the care and maintenance instructions supplied with your specific product. If the product instructions differ from the general recommendations in this guide, follow the product-specific instructions.
