Good furniture is an investment. But like any investment, it needs maintenance. From wood to leather and fabric to glass, here’s how to make your furniture last for decades.

🪑 Wood Furniture

• Clean: Use mild soap and water for everyday cleaning. Avoid soaking.

• Protect: Apply polish or beeswax twice a year. Keep out of direct sunlight.

• Restore: For scratches, use wood filler pens or sanding followed by refinishing.

🛋️ Fabric & Upholstery

• Clean: Vacuum weekly. Spot clean with fabric cleaner or vinegar solution.

• Protect: Use slipcovers or Scotchgard spray to prevent staining.

• Restore: Professional steam cleaning every 6–12 months.

🐄 Leather Furniture

• Clean: Wipe with a damp, soft cloth. Never use alcohol-based cleaners.

• Protect: Use leather conditioner 2–3 times a year.

• Restore: For cracks or discoloration, use leather repair kits or consult a specialist.

⚙️ Metal Furniture

• Clean: Damp cloth for regular dust; mild soap for grease.

• Protect: Use rust-resistant coatings for outdoor use.

• Restore: Sand and repaint rust spots with metal-safe paint.

🪞 Glass & Marble
