At Wattsteam, we want you to enjoy your furniture for years to come. Proper care and regular maintenance can help preserve its appearance, comfort, and durability. Follow these simple care tips for your sofas, chairs, and other furniture.
1. General Furniture Care
-
Dust furniture regularly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent buildup.
-
Clean spills as soon as possible to help prevent stains.

Avoid placing furniture in direct sunlight for extended periods, as this may cause fading or discoloration.

Keep furniture away from excessive heat, moisture, and sudden temperature changes.

Follow the manufacturer's care instructions for each product.
2. Sofa and Upholstered Furniture Care
-
Vacuum sofas and upholstered chairs regularly using a soft brush attachment to remove dust and debris.
-
Blot liquid spills gently with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this may spread the stain or damage the fabric.
-
For spot cleaning, test a suitable upholstery cleaner on a small, hidden area first.
-
Avoid using bleach, harsh chemicals, or excessive water unless specifically recommended for the fabric.
-
Rotate or rearrange removable cushions periodically to help maintain an even appearance and reduce uneven wear.

Wipe the surface gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth when appropriate for the material.
-
Use only cleaning products specifically designed for the type of leather or faux leather.
-
Avoid abrasive sponges, alcohol-based cleaners, and harsh chemicals that may damage the surface.
-
Keep leather furniture away from direct sunlight and heat sources to help prevent drying, cracking, or fading.
4. Wooden Furniture Care
-
Wipe surfaces with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth, then dry them promptly.
-
Use coasters, placemats, or protective pads to reduce scratches, water rings, and heat marks.
-
Avoid leaving standing water on wooden surfaces.
-
Do not use abrasive cleaners or rough materials that may scratch the finish.
-
Lift furniture when moving it instead of dragging it across the floor.
5. Metal and Glass Furniture Care

Clean metal frames with a soft cloth and a suitable, non-abrasive cleaner.
-
Dry metal surfaces after cleaning to help reduce the risk of rust or water spots.
-
Wipe glass surfaces with a soft microfiber cloth and a glass cleaner suitable for the product.
