Here are SMART & PRACTICAL CLEANING TIPS for Bed, Dresser, Mirror & Nightstand — perfect for ARV Furniture customers in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.
✔ 1. Dust Regularly (Weekly Routine)
Use a microfiber cloth to remove dust gently without scratching surfaces.
Always wipe in the direction of the wood grain for a clean, streak-free finish.
Avoid feather dusters—they spread dust instead of removing it.
✔ 2. Use the Right Cleaner for Each Material
For Wooden Furniture (Bed, Dresser, Nightstand)
Mix 1 cup warm water + few drops of mild dish soap.
Lightly dampen cloth → wipe → dry immediately.
For polished or glossy finishes, use a non-silicone furniture polish once a month.
For Upholstered or Padded Headboards (Fabric/Velvet)
Vacuum weekly with a soft brush attachment.
Spot clean with mild fabric cleaner or a mix of water + small drop of soap.
Never soak the fabric—moisture can damage internal padding.
✔ 3. Mirror Cleaning (Streak-Free Method)
Spray glass cleaner on the cloth (not directly on the mirror) to avoid liquid dripping behind the frame.
Use vertical + horizontal strokes for a streak-free shine.
For natural cleaning: vinegar + water (50/50) works perfectly.
Buff edges with a dry microfiber cloth.
✔ 4. Protect the Surface From Daily Damage
Use coasters, mats or trays on dressers and nightstands.
Avoid placing hot items, candles, or rough objects directly on surfaces.
Keep moisture away—water rings can permanently damage wood or veneer.
✔ 5. Handle Spills Immediately
Blot (don’t rub) with a dry cloth.
Follow with a lightly damp cloth, then dry completely.
Quick action prevents stains, swelling, and discoloration.
✔ 6. Deep Cleaning Every 2–3 Months
Remove drawers and vacuum inside.
Clean drawer tracks and edges.
Polish wooden surfaces lightly for renewed shine.
Tighten screws and hardware on bed frame and dresser handles.
✔ 7. Maintain Indoor Conditions
Keep furniture away from direct sunlight to avoid fading.
Maintain room humidity between 35–55% (ideal for Mississauga’s weather).
Use a humidifier in winter to prevent wood from drying or cracking.
✔ 8. Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Never use bleach, abrasive powders, rough sponges, or acetone.
They can damage finish, color, and protective coatings.
✔ 9. Move Furniture Safely
Lift—don’t drag—to avoid weakening joints or scratching floors.
Place felt pads under legs of nightstands and dressers.
✔ 10. Keep Mirror & Glass Panels Safe
Avoid spraying water near LED lights or wooden frames.
Check screws behind mirror frames every 2–3 months.
Use soft, non-abrasive cloths only.
