Furniture Care & Maintenance Guide
At Pavreldova, we want your furniture to remain comfortable, beautiful, and functional for years to come. Proper care and regular maintenance can help preserve the appearance and condition of your furniture while extending its useful life.
Because furniture materials and finishes can vary from product to product, always check the care instructions provided with your specific item before using any cleaning product or treatment.
General Furniture Care
Keep furniture away from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, excessive heat, and moisture whenever possible. Extended exposure to sunlight may cause certain materials, finishes, or fabrics to fade or change color over time.
Avoid placing furniture directly next to radiators, heaters, fireplaces, or other strong sources of heat. Sudden or continuous changes in temperature and humidity may affect certain materials.
Use coasters, placemats, or protective pads under drinks, hot items, decorative objects, and other items that may scratch, stain, or damage the furniture surface.
Lift furniture when moving it instead of dragging it across the floor. For larger or heavier pieces, ask another person to assist when necessary.
Wood Furniture Care
Dust wooden furniture regularly with a soft, clean, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive moisture and wipe up spills promptly.
For routine cleaning, use a soft cloth and a mild cleaning solution that is appropriate for the furniture's finish. Always test any cleaning product on a small, inconspicuous area before applying it to a visible surface.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, harsh chemicals, or rough materials that may damage the finish.
Wood is a natural material, and variations in grain, texture, tone, and color are normal. Over time, exposure to light and changes in humidity may naturally affect the appearance of wood.
Upholstered Furniture Care
Vacuum upholstered furniture regularly using a suitable upholstery attachment to remove dust, crumbs, and other loose debris.
Clean spills as soon as possible. Gently blot the affected area with a clean, absorbent cloth rather than rubbing it, as rubbing may spread the stain or damage the fabric.
Before using any upholstery cleaner, check the care instructions for the specific fabric. Avoid soaking upholstery unless the manufacturer's instructions specifically allow it.
Keep upholstered furniture away from prolonged direct sunlight to help reduce the risk of fading.
Leather Furniture Care
Regularly remove dust and loose debris from leather surfaces using a soft, dry cloth.
Clean leather only with products specifically designed for the type of leather used on your furniture. Follow the product instructions carefully and test the product in an inconspicuous area first.
Avoid household cleaners, alcohol-based products, solvents, abrasive materials, and excessive water unless specifically recommended for your leather type.
Keep leather furniture away from direct heat and prolonged sunlight, which may cause drying, fading, or changes in appearance.
Glass Surfaces
Clean glass surfaces with a soft, lint-free cloth and a suitable glass cleaner.
Spray cleaner onto the cloth rather than directly onto furniture whenever possible to help prevent liquid from entering joints, seams, or other sensitive areas.
Do not use abrasive pads or rough materials that may scratch the glass surface.
Metal Components
Wipe metal surfaces regularly with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth.
Remove moisture promptly and avoid leaving liquids on metal surfaces for extended periods. Do not use abrasive cleaners or materials that could scratch protective coatings or finishes.
If signs of corrosion or surface damage appear, discontinue use of unsuitable cleaning products and follow the care instructions provided with your furniture.
Preventing Scratches and Surface Damage
Use protective pads beneath decorative objects and accessories that may move or scratch the surface.
Avoid placing sharp, rough, or abrasive objects directly on furniture.
Do not sit, stand, or place excessive weight on surfaces that are not designed to support body weight.
Follow the product's assembly instructions and recommended weight limits whenever applicable.
Spill and Stain Care
Act quickly when a spill occurs. Gently blot liquids with a clean, dry cloth and avoid vigorous rubbing.
Do not use a cleaning product simply because it is suitable for another type of furniture material. A cleaner designed for glass, wood, leather, or another surface may damage a different material.
For difficult or persistent stains, consult the care instructions for your specific furniture item or consider professional cleaning when appropriate.
Humidity and Temperature
Furniture can be affected by significant changes in temperature and humidity, particularly products made from natural wood and other sensitive materials.
Whenever possible, maintain a stable indoor environment and avoid prolonged exposure to excessive humidity, dryness, or rapid temperature changes.
Natural materials may expand, contract, or develop minor changes in appearance as environmental conditions change. This can be a normal characteristic of the material.
Moving and Handling Furniture
Before moving furniture, remove loose or removable items and secure drawers, doors, or other movable components.
Whenever possible, lift furniture rather than dragging it. Dragging heavy furniture may damage the furniture itself or scratch flooring.
For large furniture pieces, use appropriate assistance and follow any product-specific moving instructions.
Regular Maintenance
Regularly inspect furniture for loose screws, fittings, handles, legs, and other hardware.
If you notice a loose component, tighten it according to the product's assembly instructions. Do not continue using furniture if a structural component appears damaged or unsafe.
For furniture with moving parts, check that hinges, slides, mechanisms, and other components operate properly and follow any product-specific maintenance instructions.
Important Care Reminder
Furniture materials, finishes, fabrics, and construction methods can differ between products. The recommendations in this guide are general guidelines and may not apply to every item.
Always refer to the care instructions supplied with your furniture before cleaning, treating, repairing, or modifying the product.
If you are unsure which cleaning method or product is appropriate, contact our customer service team before proceeding.
