16. Furniture Care and handling:
Always be cautious using sharp objects while unboxing the carton or unwrapping the products, as it may damage your furniture.
Always carefully lift the furniture when moving it in and around the home, and never drag even when it is inside the carton. The rough surface may induce scratches to the outer layer of the furniture.
Rotate cushions regularly to even out the wear and fade.
Regularly vacuum upholstery furniture using the upholstery attachment.
Use floor protectors on the bottom of furniture (like tables and chairs) to minimise damage to floor coverings.
Use coasters, placemats, tablecloths and table runners to protect furniture surfaces from heat, scratching and stains.
Don’t place any indoor furniture in direct sunlight as this may cause fabric, leather and other materials to fade or crack. Direct sunlight includes sunlight through a window
Use curtains or blinds to protect your furniture.
Don’t place furniture too close to a heater or air conditioning vent as this may distort the material or surface finish.
Don’t sit on the arms of the sofas and chairs.
Avoid standing on a chair or rocking on the back of it, as this may weaken the structure and possibly cause joint failure.
