Care and Maintenance

At Briton Furniture, every product is handcrafted with utmost skill and care, ensuring long-term durability and satisfaction. Natural features such as wood grain, texture, and color variations make each piece unique. With time, furniture naturally develops character and charm, enhancing its vintage appeal.

Proper care and timely maintenance will help preserve the beauty and freshness of your furniture for years. Please follow the guidelines below:

General Care

• Regularly dust with a lint-free, soft cloth.
• Wipe spills immediately with a dry cloth to avoid stains.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Apply beeswax once a year to maintain wood finish and moisture.
• Always place furniture on a level surface for smooth functioning of doors and drawers.
• Protect from direct sunlight, which may cause fading or darkening.
• Avoid placing hot electrical equipment (like laptops) directly on wooden surfaces.
• For multi-section or self-assembly items: assemble in the intended space and dismantle before relocating.

Wooden Furniture Care

• Wipe regularly with a lint-free cloth.
• Clean food or liquid spills immediately.
• Protect from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
• Use felt pads under accessories to avoid scratches.
• Always use placemats, hot pads, or coasters under dishes and beverages.
• Avoid placing newspapers/magazines directly, as ink may transfer.
• Apply beeswax annually to maintain finish and moisture.
• Note: Natural wood expands/contracts with seasonal climate changes, leading to slight variations

Upholstery Care

•  Vacuum regularly to remove dust and dirt.
• Rotate cushions and pillows for even wear.
• Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
• Expect up to 3% shrinkage after first wash/dry clean.
• Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth—do not rub.
• Use only specialist cleaning products (test on hidden area first).
• Clean exposed wooden parts with a damp cloth (avoid detergents).

Metal Furniture Care

• Avoid metal furniture in coastal/marine climates.
• Clean regularly with water and mild, non-detergent soap; dry thoroughly.
• Do not use abrasive scrubbers or cleaners.
• Remove spills quickly to prevent staining or corrosion.
• Avoid plastic coverings, as they trap heat and moisture.
• For ingrained dirt, use a gentle window or non-abrasive cleaner

Glass & Mirror Care

• Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
• Clean periodically with a damp microfiber cloth or a non-ammonia glass cleaner.
• Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaning agents that may scratch the surface.
• Always wipe in gentle circular motions to maintain clarity.
