TIPS TO TAKE CARE OF STORAGE SPACE FURNITURE PIECES
ARV FURNITURE – MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO, CANADA

Storage furniture like beds with drawers, ottomans, coffee tables with compartments, or wall units from ARV Furniture not only offer utility but also enhance your room’s appeal. Here are some smart care tips to maintain their functionality and style:

✅ 1. Clean Regularly and Gently
Dust surfaces weekly with a soft microfiber cloth.
For wood, use a slightly damp cloth followed by a dry one. Avoid harsh chemicals.
For upholstered pieces with hidden storage, vacuum fabric gently and clean internal areas monthly.

✅ 2. Don’t Overload Storage Compartments
Avoid exceeding weight limits inside drawers or lift-up tops.
Use organizers to distribute weight evenly and prevent warping or damage to hinges and joints.

✅ 3. Keep Mechanisms Working Smoothly
For hydraulic lifts or soft-close drawers, check for smooth operation.
Lubricate moving parts (hinges, sliders) every 6–12 months with a silicone-based spray.

✅ 4. Avoid Moisture Buildup Inside Compartments
Place moisture absorbers or silica gel packs inside closed storage areas.
Keep furniture away from damp walls or direct contact with flooring that can trap moisture.

✅ 5. Use Protective Pads or Liners
Line drawers or compartments with soft liners to avoid scratches or stains from stored items.
This is especially helpful for wooden or laminated interiors.

✅ 6. Handle with Care
When accessing storage, always open drawers or lids gently to avoid stress on tracks or hinges.
Don’t sit or stand on storage lids unless they are designed for it (like storage benches or ottomans).

✅ 7. Inspect for Damage Periodically
Look for loose screws, wobbling drawers, or stuck lids.
Tighten hardware or get professional assistance if needed to prevent further wear.

✅ 8. Avoid Direct Sunlight and Heat
Keep your furniture out of prolonged direct sunlight to prevent warping, fading, or cracking.
Don’t place it near heat vents or radiators.
