A lot of folks just love splurging on brand-new furniture and stylish decor for their homes. But when accidents happen or things get damaged, we tend to point fingers at the product instead of taking a look at our own care habits.

At Hernest, we're all about delivering top-notch quality, meticulously crafting our products with the finest materials.

We've got some handy tips on how to keep your furniture looking fabulous and standing the test of time, tailored to each material:

WOOD

• To remove dust, simply use a dry cloth or soft bristle brushes.
• For deeper cleaning, dampen a cloth with a solution of water and neutral pH soap. Afterward, wipe the wood surface with a dry cloth.
• Avoid using furniture polish on wood.
• In case of any liquid spills, promptly wipe them off to prevent damage.
• Take measures to protect the wood surface from scratches.

METALS & GLASS

• For cleaning metal and glass elements, use a soft cloth dampened with a solution of neutral pH soap. Afterward, dry the surface with a dry cloth.
• Avoid using abrasive products or solutions containing chlorine.
• To remove fingerprints, gently wipe the surface with a soft cloth or a cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol.

LACQUERED

• Use a soft cloth dampened with water to clean the lacquered surface. Avoid using brushes or materials that may scratch the furniture.
• For deeper cleaning, use a cloth moistened with a solution of water and neutral pH soap. Gently rub the surface and then wipe with a cloth dampened only in water. Finally, dry the surface with a soft cloth.
• To polish the lacquered surface, use a dry cloth and rub in a circular motion.

FABRIC

• Regularly remove dust from fabric surfaces using a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment or a dry cloth.
• For stains, blot them immediately with a clean cloth or paper towel. Avoid rubbing the stain, as it may spread and set deeper into the fabric.

LEATHER

• To maintain the leather, regularly wipe it with a soft cloth or use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to remove dust and debris.
• For spills or stains, quickly blot them with a clean, absorbent cloth. Avoid rubbing, as it can spread the stain. If needed, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water to gently clean the affected area.
• Protect leather from direct sunlight and excessive heat, as it can cause fading and drying. Use leather conditioner or moisturizer to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.

MARBLE

• For regular cleaning, use a soft cloth with water to gently wipe the marble surface. Avoid using abrasive or acidic cleaners that can damage the marble.
• In case of spills, blot them immediately with a clean cloth to prevent staining. Avoid wiping or rubbing the spill, as it may spread.
• To maintain the luster of the marble, periodically apply a marble-specific sealer as recommended by the manufacturer. This helps protect the surface from stains and enhances its natural beauty.

RATTAN

• Remove loose dust and debris from rattan furniture using a soft brush or vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment.
• Clean the rattan surface with a cloth dampened in a mild soap and water solution. Gently scrub away stains or dirt.
• Avoid excessive moisture and direct sunlight to prevent warping or fading. Regularly inspect and repair any loose or broken strands to maintain the furniture's integrity.
