Furniture Care & Maintenance Guide


At Isorinastra, we understand that proper care and maintenance can help preserve the appearance, comfort, and functionality of your furniture and home furnishings.

This guide provides general recommendations for cleaning, maintaining, and protecting common furniture materials. Appropriate care methods may vary depending on the product's construction, materials, finishes, and manufacturer instructions.

Before cleaning or maintaining any furniture item, please review the care information provided with the product, if available.

1. General Furniture Care

Regular maintenance can help reduce everyday wear and keep furniture in good condition.

We recommend the following general practices:

  • Dust furniture regularly using a clean, soft, dry cloth.
  • Clean spills promptly to help prevent stains or moisture damage.
  • Avoid placing furniture in prolonged direct sunlight, which may cause certain materials to fade or discolor.
  • Keep furniture away from excessive heat, moisture, and sudden temperature changes.
  • Use coasters, placemats, or protective pads where appropriate.
  • Avoid dragging heavy furniture across floors.
  • Follow any product-specific cleaning and maintenance instructions.

Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools, harsh chemicals, or unsuitable cleaning products that could damage furniture surfaces.

2. Wood Furniture Care

Wood furniture may require special attention to maintain its appearance and surface finish.

2.1 Regular Cleaning

Remove dust with a soft, dry microfiber cloth.

For suitable finished wood surfaces, a slightly damp cloth may be used when permitted by the product's care instructions. Wipe away any remaining moisture promptly.

Avoid soaking wood surfaces or allowing water to collect around joints, edges, or seams.

2.2 Protection and Maintenance

To help protect wood furniture:

  • Use coasters under beverages.
  • Avoid placing hot cookware or heated objects directly on wood surfaces.
  • Keep furniture away from prolonged direct sunlight.
  • Avoid excessive indoor humidity or extremely dry conditions.
  • Use only cleaning and polishing products suitable for the specific wood finish.

Some wood products may naturally respond to changes in temperature and humidity. Proper environmental conditions can help reduce unnecessary stress on the material.

Do not apply oils, waxes, or furniture polish unless they are appropriate for the product's finish.

3. Upholstered Furniture Care

Upholstered furniture may include fabric-covered sofas, chairs, benches, and other seating products.

Cleaning methods depend on the upholstery material and its care requirements.

3.1 Routine Cleaning

For upholstery that permits vacuum cleaning, use a suitable upholstery attachment with gentle suction.

Pay attention to seams, cushions, and areas where dust may accumulate.

Avoid aggressive brushing or rubbing that could damage delicate fabrics.

3.2 Spill and Stain Care

If a spill occurs:

  1. Address the spill promptly.
  2. Gently blot excess liquid with a clean, absorbent cloth.
  3. Avoid rubbing, which may spread the stain or damage the fabric.
  4. Check the product's cleaning instructions before applying water or a cleaning solution.
  5. Allow the cleaned area to dry appropriately.

Do not use bleach, strong solvents, or household cleaning chemicals unless specifically approved for the upholstery material.

Some upholstery fabrics require professional cleaning.

3.3 Cushion Maintenance

Where the product design allows, periodically rotate or reposition removable cushions to encourage more even wear.

Gently reshape suitable cushions as needed.

Avoid excessive pressure, jumping, or standing on upholstered furniture, as these activities may damage internal support components.

4. Leather and Faux Leather Furniture Care

Leather and faux leather may have different cleaning and maintenance requirements.

Always identify the material before selecting a cleaning method.

4.1 Leather Furniture

For suitable leather surfaces:

  • Remove dust using a soft, dry cloth.
  • Address spills promptly without excessive rubbing.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and heat.
  • Use leather cleaning or conditioning products only when appropriate for the specific leather type and finish.
  • Test approved cleaning products on a small, inconspicuous area before broader use.

Not all leather finishes are suitable for the same cleaners or conditioners.

4.2 Faux Leather Furniture

Faux leather surfaces may be cleaned with a soft cloth using a method permitted by the product's care instructions.

Avoid abrasive tools, harsh solvents, and excessive moisture.

Do not assume that products designed for genuine leather are suitable for faux leather.

5. Metal Furniture Care

Metal furniture components may include frames, legs, handles, and decorative elements.

To maintain suitable metal surfaces:

  • Dust regularly with a soft cloth.
  • Remove moisture promptly.
  • Avoid abrasive pads and harsh cleaning agents.
  • Inspect exposed joints and fasteners periodically.
  • Protect metal furniture from prolonged exposure to moisture when it is not designed for outdoor use.

Cleaning requirements may vary depending on the metal type, protective coating, and surface finish.

If corrosion or coating damage appears, avoid applying unverified chemical treatments and consult the product's care instructions.

6. Glass and Mirror Surface Care

Glass and mirror components require careful handling to reduce the risk of scratches or breakage.

We recommend:

  • Using a soft, lint-free cloth.
  • Applying a suitable glass cleaner only when permitted by the product instructions.
  • Avoiding abrasive sponges and sharp cleaning tools.
  • Preventing heavy impacts or sudden temperature changes.
  • Checking that glass shelves or panels remain properly supported.

When cleaning framed glass or mirror surfaces, avoid allowing cleaning liquids to collect around edges or adjacent materials.

Do not stand or sit on glass furniture surfaces unless the product is specifically designed and rated for that purpose.

7. Stone, Marble, and Similar Surfaces

Natural stone and engineered stone surfaces may require different maintenance methods.

Some materials can be sensitive to acidic substances, moisture, abrasive cleaners, or staining.

General recommendations include:

  • Wiping spills promptly.
  • Using coasters and protective mats.
  • Avoiding harsh or acidic cleaners unless specifically approved.
  • Cleaning with products suitable for the identified surface material.
  • Avoiding heavy impacts and excessive concentrated loads.

Do not assume that all stone surfaces require sealing or that one cleaning method is suitable for every stone product.

Follow product-specific instructions whenever available.

8. Furniture Placement and Environmental Care

The location and surrounding environment can influence furniture condition over time.

8.1 Sunlight and Heat

Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may contribute to fading or changes in the appearance of certain materials.

Keep furniture at a reasonable distance from radiators, fireplaces, heating vents, and other concentrated heat sources.

8.2 Humidity and Moisture

Excessive moisture may affect certain wood, fabric, metal, and composite materials.

Very dry conditions may also affect some furniture materials.

Maintain indoor conditions appropriate for the product whenever reasonably possible.

8.3 Floor Protection

Use suitable furniture pads or floor protectors where appropriate to help prevent scratches.

When moving furniture, lift it carefully rather than dragging it.

For large or heavy items, use sufficient assistance and appropriate moving equipment.

9. Assembly and Structural Maintenance

Furniture that requires assembly should be assembled according to the instructions supplied with the product.

For safe and appropriate use:

  • Use the correct components and hardware.
  • Follow the recommended assembly sequence.
  • Do not substitute incompatible parts.
  • Check accessible screws, bolts, and fittings periodically when recommended.
  • Avoid exceeding stated weight or load limits.
  • Use required wall anchors or anti-tip restraints where specified by the product instructions.
  • Stop using furniture if you notice significant instability, structural damage, or loose supporting components.

Do not modify load-bearing structures or attempt repairs that could compromise product safety.

If assembly instructions are missing or a structural concern is identified, contact customer service for assistance.

10. Everyday Use and Damage Prevention

Proper everyday use can help reduce unnecessary wear.

We recommend avoiding:

  • Standing or jumping on furniture not designed for those activities.
  • Placing excessive weight on shelves, tabletops, or seating surfaces.
  • Using furniture for purposes outside its intended design.
  • Exposing indoor furniture to outdoor weather conditions.
  • Applying unsuitable cleaning chemicals.
  • Moving heavy furniture without proper support.
  • Continuing to use damaged or unstable furniture.

Children should be supervised around furniture where appropriate. Follow any applicable product warnings and safety instructions, particularly those relating to tip-over hazards.

11. Cleaning Products and Professional Care

Not every cleaning product is suitable for every furniture material.

Before using a new cleaning solution:

  1. Review the product's care instructions.
  2. Confirm that the cleaner is appropriate for the material and finish.
  3. Follow the cleaner manufacturer's directions and safety warnings.
  4. Test the product on a small, inconspicuous area when appropriate.
  5. Stop using the cleaner if discoloration, surface changes, or other damage appears.

Certain stains, delicate materials, or complex furniture finishes may require professional cleaning or maintenance.

We do not recommend using strong solvents, abrasive chemicals, or unverified restoration treatments without appropriate guidance.

12. Damaged or Defective Furniture

If your furniture arrives damaged, defective, or different from its advertised description, please contact our customer service team.

We recommend providing your order number, a description of the issue, and photographs where reasonably possible to assist with the review.

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, appropriate remedies may include a refund, repair, replacement, or another suitable resolution.
