CONCRETE CARE
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
• For stains, try the following:
- Do not use traditional heavy acid cleaners, which are formulated and may be suitable for commercial concrete installations or pool servicing. These acids are too caustic for use on concrete furniture.
- Do not pressure wash with high-pressure powered pressure washers, for most pieces a damp cloth will be enough to clean the furniture.
- Clean spills as soon as possible, using mild soap and water. For more aggressive spills, you can use a mild household standard chlorine bleach diluted 1 part bleach 2 parts water and use on the entire surface to be cleaned. For general day to day cleaning if needed spray your piece with water, then lightly with a household spray.
• Moving and Handling:
- Do not drag a concrete piece to a new position without care. This may cause irreparable damage to the piece.
MARBLE CARE
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
• For stains and care, try the following:
- Clean spills as soon as possible, using mild soap and water. For more aggressive spills, wipe down the surface using a non-abrasive cloth or sponge and mild soap (like dish detergent) and water. When cleaning, make sure you don’t use vinegar, window cleaner or bleach. These acidic substances will eat into the marble and dull the stone. It’s also recommended to not use abrasive cleaner or pads since it can scratch the surface of the marble.
- It is important for your marble piece to seal it. Even if your piece arrives sealed already. We recommend you to re-apply a sealant every six months, or at minimum once a year. When water stops beading on the surface, it’s time for a fresh coat.
• Moving and Handling:
- Do not drag a marble piece to a new position without care. This may cause irreparable damage to the piece.
WOOD CARE
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
• For stains and care, try the following:
- Clean spills as soon as possible, using a non-abrasive sponge or with a barely damp microfiber cloth to remove dust and grime. Do not let water to sit on the wood. Quickly wipe it down with a dry cloth.
- For regular dusting, a quick wipe-down with a microfiber cloth.
- Depending on the piece, it may be needed to apply some wax to protect it and help keep its shine. Using a gauze or cloth, apply a semi-solid wax (without silicone) to the wood furniture. Let the wax paste sit on the wooden surface for a few minutes before buffing it in with a clean microfiber cloth. Avoid polish sprays, which can leave a residue.
• Moving and Handling:
- Do not drag a heavy piece to a new position without care. This may cause irreparable damage to the furniture.
STEEL/BURNISHED BRASS CARE
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
• For stains and care, try the following:
- Burnished Brass. Clean with warm water and soap. Polishing is not necessary as it may scratch the plating off and it is recommended to let it age gracefully.
- Polished steel. Wipe away any streaks or smudges with a cleaner made for appliances. Use a little elbow grease to get rid of any oily residue or stubborn fingerprints.
- Do not use cleaners or scrubbers designed just for stainless steel sinks or cookware on appliances. They can be too abrasive and scratch the finish.
• Moving and Handling:
- Do not move a piece to a new position without care and make sure no sharp objects scratch the metal. This may cause irreparable damage to the furniture.
