A Cotswold Company Care Guide
We love beautiful things, well-made and built to last, that really make a home. We’ve put together a few tips and suggestions to help you care for your new piece of wood furniture, so it will be with you for many, many years to come.
Tip: Never use any types of solvent-based or abrasive cleaning products or materials as these will score and damage the surface finish.
If the surface of your furniture has a wax or oil finish, it is important to periodically treat this using a suitable furniture wax or oil. This will help to protect and hydrate the wood whilst maintaining the appearance and durability of the finish.
If you have any spillages on the furniture’s surface, please remove them quickly, particularly for any strongly coloured liquids such as tea, coffee or red wine. Use a blotting action rather than a circular motion to soak up the liquid, then clean appropriately as required.
If your furniture becomes stained, scratched, chipped, or suffers other damage, we recommend professional help is sought to help restore it.
All our wood furniture is made from responsibly sourced timber. As a natural material, your furniture will naturally change colour over its lifetime due to light effects, but this is just part of the ageing process. To help slow this down, avoid placing your wood furniture in direct sunlight.
Please also ensure any objects or ornaments placed on furniture surfaces are re-arranged regularly to allow even ageing and prevent patches of discolouration.
Many items of furniture are very heavy and awkward to lift or move, so always ensure at least two people are available to help move such pieces. Please do not drag a piece of furniture as this will likely damage the furniture and your floor.
If you are positioning your furniture against a wall, always leave a gap of approximately 25mm between the wall and the back of your furniture. This will not only help with air flow around your furniture and but protect your walls from unnecessary marks.
For storage furniture, if the anti-tip strap and instructions are supplied, please ensure you follow the advice given and fit it securely.
