Keeping your furniture spotless and long-lasting is simple when you follow a few smart cleaning habits. Whether your pieces are made of wood, fabric, leather, metal, or glass, regular maintenance ensures they retain their beauty and durability for years.
🧼 1. General Cleaning Habits
Dust weekly using a soft microfiber cloth to prevent buildup.
Avoid harsh chemicals or all-purpose cleaners; use mild soap solutions.
Always test cleaning products on hidden areas first.
🪵 2. Wooden Furniture
Use a slightly damp cloth followed by a dry one to wipe away moisture.
Apply furniture polish or beeswax every few months to maintain shine.
Keep wooden pieces away from direct sunlight or heating vents to avoid cracking or fading.
🛋️ 3. Fabric & Upholstered Furniture
Vacuum gently using a brush attachment to remove dust and crumbs.
For spills, blot immediately—never rub—to avoid spreading stains.
Use fabric-specific cleaners or a mild soap-water mix; allow to air dry.
🧴 4. Leather & Faux Leather
Wipe with a soft damp cloth regularly to prevent dirt buildup.
Use a leather conditioner every 3–6 months to keep it supple.
Avoid placing near windows or heat sources to prevent drying or cracking.
🪞 5. Glass & Metal Furniture
Use a glass cleaner or vinegar-water mix for shine and streak-free results.
Wipe metal parts with a damp cloth and dry immediately to prevent rust.
🌿 6. Smart Preventive Tips
Use coasters, placemats, and tablecloths to protect surfaces.
Rotate cushions and rearrange items occasionally to ensure even wear.
Maintain indoor humidity levels to protect wooden and upholstered furniture.
