A curio cabinet is a timeless piece that showcases your most cherished collectibles and adds elegance to your home. To preserve its beauty and function for years, follow these essential care tips:
1. Regular Dusting:
Dust your curio weekly using a soft microfiber or lint-free cloth. This prevents buildup that can dull both the glass and wooden surfaces. Avoid feather dusters as they can scatter dust into corners or hinges.
2. Cleaning Glass Panels:
Use a mild glass cleaner or a mix of water and vinegar. Spray it onto a cloth, not directly onto the glass, to avoid streaks or seepage into the frame. Wipe gently to maintain the crystal-clear shine.
3. Wooden Frame Care:
Polish the wooden sections with a non-silicone furniture polish to retain luster and protect the finish. Avoid harsh chemicals or water-based solutions that can cause fading or warping.
4. Lighting Maintenance:
For LED-lit curios, gently clean around the lights with a dry cloth. Do not spray liquids near wiring. If a bulb needs replacement, use the same wattage or contact ARV Furniture for proper assistance.
5. Handling Shelves and Doors:
Tempered glass shelves are durable but should not be overloaded. Arrange heavier pieces at the bottom for stability. Check hinges and door alignment regularly for smooth operation.
6. Placement & Protection:
Position your curio away from direct sunlight, vents, or moisture. Extreme temperature or humidity can damage both glass and wood finishes.
7. Periodic Inspection:
Every few months, check for loose fittings or scratches. Minor marks can be buffed with a soft cloth and gentle polish.
