Here are smart tips to maintain metal furniture (ARV Furniture style):
🧼 Regular Cleaning-
Wipe down surfaces weekly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt.
Use mild soap and water for deeper cleaning—avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the finish.
Always dry thoroughly with a microfiber cloth to prevent watermarks or rust spots.
🛡️ Protection Against Rust-
Keep metal furniture indoors or under cover when not in use. If outdoors, use protective covers.
Apply a thin coat of clear metal wax or protective spray every few months to shield from moisture.
Inspect regularly for scratches or chips—touch up immediately with matching paint to prevent rust formation.
🌞 Placement & Care-
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade painted or powder-coated finishes.
Keep away from damp areas (like basements) unless the furniture is specifically treated for moisture resistance.
Use felt pads or rubber stoppers under legs to prevent floor scratches and reduce wobbling.
🧰 Seasonal Maintenance-
Before winter or rainy seasons, clean thoroughly and store in a dry, ventilated space if possible.
For outdoor furniture, check bolts and joints regularly to ensure they are tight and rust-free.
Reapply protective coatings at least once a year for long-term durability.
đźš« What to Avoid-
Do not use steel wool, abrasive pads, or harsh chemical cleaners—these scratch and weaken protective finishes.
Avoid leaving wet items (like plant pots or glasses) on the surface for long periods.
✅ With these steps, ARV Furniture’s metal pieces stay strong, stylish, and long-lasting, whether used in dining sets, coffee tables, or accent furniture.
