Furniture Care: Maintaining Your Investment

Upholstery: vacuum weekly with upholstery attachment, rotate cushions monthly, professional clean annually. Leather: condition every 3-6 months, wipe spills immediately, avoid sharp objects. Marble: seal annually, never place hot items directly, use pH-neutral cleaners. Outdoor furniture: cover in monsoon season, oil teak twice yearly, rinse synthetic rattan monthly.
