🧼 Care Instructions & Usage Tips — ARV FURNITURE Dining Set
🪑 Daily Care
Wipe after every meal: Use a soft, dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove crumbs, spills, and fingerprints.
Avoid harsh chemicals: Don’t use bleach, ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive pads — they can dull or damage finishes.
Coasters & placemats: Always use coasters for drinks and placemats for plates to protect the surface from heat and stains.
🌡️ Temperature & Moisture
Protect from heat: Avoid placing hot dishes directly on the table — always use trivets or heat-resistant mats.
Control humidity: Try to keep the room at moderate humidity. Too much moisture or dryness (e.g., near heaters, AC vents, or direct sun) can warp wood or affect joint integrity.
Quickly blot spills: If liquid spills, blot (don’t rub) immediately to prevent absorption and rings.
🧽 Cleaning Materials
Wood or veneer surfaces: Mild soap + warm water on a soft cloth. Wipe dry immediately.
Glass tops (if included): Use a glass cleaner and a lint-free cloth to prevent streaks.
Upholstered chairs: Vacuum regularly; for fabric seats, follow the specific fabric care tag instructions. Blot stains gently with a mild cleaner.
🪄 Maintenance
Check hardware periodically: Tighten screws, bolts, or brackets if chairs or table parts feel wobbly.
Polish wood occasionally: Use a quality furniture polish (non-silicone) once every few months to maintain finish and sheen.
Avoid dragging: Lift chairs and tables when moving — dragging can damage legs and floors.
🧑🍳 Usage Best Practices
Balanced seating: Distribute weight evenly — avoid placing heavy objects on just one side of the table.
Kids & crafts: Use a protective layer (tablecloth or mat) during painting, glueing, or messy projects.
Pets: Keep pets off the dining surface to prevent scratches and stains.
🪟 Placement Tips
Keep away from direct sunlight: Prolonged sun exposure can fade wood and finishes.
Leave space around: Ensure chairs can move freely without rubbing against walls or counters.
