Here are some tips to use and maintain your kitchen dining table and chairs with tempered glass and velvet upholstery from ARV Furniture in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada:
For Tempered Glass Tabletop:
Use Placemats & Coasters: Prevent scratches, heat damage, and stains by using placemats, coasters, and table runners.
Avoid Heavy Impact: Do not drop heavy objects on the glass to prevent chipping or cracking.
Clean Regularly: Use a microfiber cloth with a glass cleaner or a mixture of water and vinegar for a streak-free shine.
Prevent Hard Water Stains: Wipe spills immediately, especially from liquids like coffee, tea, or wine.
Avoid Abrasive Materials: Do not use rough sponges or harsh chemicals, as they can scratch the glass surface.
For Velvet Dining Chairs:
Regular Vacuuming: Use a soft brush attachment to remove dust and crumbs, keeping the fabric fresh.
Immediate Stain Removal: Dab spills gently with a clean cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid rubbing to prevent fabric damage.
Brushing & Fluffing: Use a soft-bristle brush to restore the velvet’s texture and maintain its plush look.
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure can cause fading, so position the chairs away from windows or use curtains.
Spot Cleaning: For deeper stains, use a velvet-specific fabric cleaner or a mixture of mild detergent and warm water.
Use Fabric Protector: Consider applying a fabric protection spray to repel spills and dirt.
General Maintenance:
Check Stability: Regularly inspect screws, legs, and joints for any looseness and tighten them as needed.
Avoid Dragging: Lift the chairs and table when moving to prevent damage to both the legs and your flooring.
Control Humidity: Excess moisture can damage velvet upholstery and weaken adhesive bonds on the glass.
