Furniture Rejuvenation: How to Look after your Finished Product

If you’ve chosen to give your furniture new life by having them hand painted with a durable finish or restoring their surface, you will want to look after each piece to keep them looking beautiful for many years to come. As you would with any other piece of furniture, you will need to continue to look after it and use the correct cleaning and care practices in order to maintain the durable finish you will get with our rejuvenated furniture. Prolong the life of your newly painted furniture by following the below maintenance and cleaning tips.

High Gloss Furniture

Gloss polyurethane surfaces suit modern home styles and create a sleek, contemporary feel with seamless edges. A glossy polyurethane finish is thick and scratch resistant making it a durable choice for new kitchen cabinets or bench tops but still needs some care for a long lasting finish.

Maintenance and Cleaning Tips: Ensure not to leave hot items on gloss surfaces as this can cause damage or scorching. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaning agents and cloths as they may damage and scratch the surface.

Hand Painted Furniture

Hand painted furniture creates a beautiful finish using antique, colour washing, distressing or rubbing back techniques to bring out natural textures.

Maintenance and Cleaning Tips: To clean your furniture, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe down the surfaces with some mild soap (avoid using harsh chemicals). We suggest using coasters under glasses and placemats under your dinnerware as well as cleaning up spills immediately.

Timber Furniture

Timber gives a warm, natural feel to any space and is a popular choice for kitchen cabinets, bench tops and flooring, offering many design options.

Timber Care Tips: Clean up spills immediately using a clean cloth. Avoid placing furniture near heating or air conditioning systems or direct sunlight as UV rays can have a lightening effect and heat may cause damage.
