Furniture Care Guide
Thoughtful care helps furniture and home décor remain an intentional part of your interior over time.
This guide provides general care principles only. Always follow the specific material, finish and product information provided with the individual piece when that guidance is available.
The First Principle
Care should begin with the piece itself.
Furniture, lighting, mirrors and decorative objects can differ significantly in surface, finish, construction and sensitivity. The most appropriate care method therefore depends on the individual product rather than one universal routine.
When product-specific care information is available, use it before applying general guidance. If the material or finish is unclear, avoid experimenting with aggressive cleaning methods and contact Vellaro Home for clarification.
Everyday Care
A lighter routine is often the better place to begin.
General furniture care is less about constant treatment and more about preventing unnecessary wear. Gentle attention, quick response to spills and thoughtful placement can help preserve the appearance of many interior pieces.
01
Remove Dust Gently
Use a clean, soft approach suited to the individual surface. Avoid unnecessary pressure, abrasion or aggressive scrubbing.
02
Respond to Spills
Attend to liquid promptly rather than allowing it to remain on a surface. Follow any product-specific instructions before using cleaners or treatments.
03
Protect the Surface
Be mindful of hot objects, moisture, sharp edges and items that may scratch, stain or mark a surface during everyday use.
04
Move with Care
When relocating furniture, lift and support it appropriately rather than dragging it across the floor whenever practical.
Surface Awareness
The right method depends on what you are caring for.
A dining table, upholstered chair, mirror, cabinet and decorative vase should not automatically be treated in the same way. Surface sensitivity, finish and construction can change what is appropriate.
Avoid assuming that a cleaner, polish or treatment suitable for one piece is suitable for another. If a product does not clearly identify what should be used, begin with the least aggressive approach and seek product-specific guidance before proceeding further.
By Product Type
Different objects call for different attention.
These are general considerations rather than material-specific instructions. The care information for the individual product should always take priority.
Seating
Sofas & Chairs
Keep seating free from unnecessary dust and debris, address spills promptly and avoid applying a cleaning product unless it is appropriate for the specific upholstery or surface.
Tables & Storage
Hard Surfaces
Use care with moisture, heat and abrasive objects. Wipe gently and avoid assuming that one polish or cleaner is suitable for every table, console or cabinet.
Reflective Pieces
Mirrors
Clean reflective areas carefully and avoid allowing excess liquid to collect around edges, frames or adjoining materials unless the product guidance indicates otherwise.
Ambient Pieces
Lighting
Keep lighting free of accumulated dust and follow the specific fixture instructions before cleaning components or handling electrical parts.
Decorative Details
Vases & Objects
Handle smaller decorative pieces carefully, especially where finishes, delicate edges, glazing or mixed materials may require different care.
Bedroom Furniture
Beds & Benches
Keep surfaces clean and inspect the product information before tightening, adjusting or treating any component that forms part of the furniture structure.
The Room Matters Too
Care also means considering the environment around the piece.
Placement can influence how furniture and décor experience everyday wear. Light, moisture, heat and physical traffic all form part of the environment in which an interior piece lives.
Light
Consider prolonged exposure to strong direct sunlight when positioning pieces with finishes or surfaces that may be sensitive to light.
Moisture
Avoid allowing persistent moisture or standing liquid to remain around furniture and decorative surfaces.
Heat
Keep furniture and décor in mind when arranging them near concentrated heat sources or placing hot objects directly on surfaces.
Movement
Leave enough circulation around larger pieces to reduce unnecessary knocks, dragging and repeated contact.
Before Cleaning
When in doubt, use a more cautious process.
If you are unsure how a product should be cleaned, do not treat uncertainty as permission to use a stronger product. Check the information associated with the individual piece first.
Avoid unverified cleaners, polishes, solvents, abrasive pads or intensive treatments when you do not know whether they are compatible with the surface.
01
Identify
Confirm the product, surface or material information available before choosing a cleaning method.
02
Start Gently
Use the least aggressive suitable method first and avoid unnecessary moisture, friction or chemical treatment.
03
Ask First
If compatibility remains unclear, contact Vellaro Home before applying a treatment that may affect the finish.
Product-Specific Questions
Not sure how to care for a particular piece?
Contact Vellaro Home with the product name and your question. The more specifically you identify the piece and the care issue, the easier it is to review the enquiry in context.
