Veneer Care & Cleaning
Standard Cleaning
Your standard veneer cleaning can be done by adding a little warm water to microfiber cloth that is clean and lint-free. Just make the cloth slightly damp so you can wipe off the veneer.
You should use the cloth to wipe the surface in the grain’s direction, so you can eliminate any surface dust.
Using another clean, lint-free microfiber cloth that is dry, once again wipe in the grain’s direction to wipe the surface dry. This should be done right away to dry off the surface and protect it from damage.
Polishing Veneer
You may notice that your veneer finish needs to be polished a few times each year. You should use a furniture polish that is wax-free, so it will restore, clean, and protect the veneer surface. You should not polish veneer frequently, but instead, only a few times each year.
Similar to regular cleaning, you should use a clean microfiber cloth that is lint-free. Wipe in the same direction as the grain on the surface.
Spot Cleaning
If you have a spill, you should immediately wipe off any liquids using a dry, lint-free microfiber cloth.
Laminate Care & Cleaning
Standard Cleaning
For your regular cleaning of laminate surfaces, you should use a clean, lint-free microfiber cloth that has been dampened by a vinegar and water mixture.
The surface should be wiped gently to remove any dust.
Make sure you leave the surface completely dry, as any liquid can result in warping near the seams or stains. You should never use furniture polish that contains oils or waxes on laminate surfaces. Do not use cleaners that are bleach-based, as they can cause discoloration of the laminate.
Spot Cleaning
If there has been a spill, you should immediately clean the laminate surface with a microfiber, lint-free cloth that is dampened with soap and water or Windex. If the laminate has a grain, you should wipe in the direction of that grain. Otherwise, rub the surface gently in a circular motion.
Follow with the standard cleaning instructions, as they are listed above. If the mark remains on the surface, you should use a white ink eraser on the stain. Then once again clean the surface using the standard cleaning instructions.
Metal Care & Cleaning
Standard Cleaning
To clean steel or metal, wash with a soft bristle brush or sponge with a solution of water mixed with mild soap. Do not use any abrasive cleaners because they can take off the finish. After washing the surface, you should rinse it with water and then let it dry or use a lint-free microfiber cloth to dry the surface.
Polishing the Surface
To rejuvenate the glossy finish, you can use a good quality automotive paste wax with a microfiber cloth. If your metal furniture has a textured surface, you should not use the wax paste.
Spot Cleaning
If your metal or steel furniture has scratches or scuff marks, you can use lemon oil on a cloth then dry the surface afterward to leave a shiny, attractive finish.
Panels Care & Cleaning
Standard Cleaning
You should regularly clean any panels by using a vacuum to remove any dust, grime, or soot that has accumulated on the panels.
Spot Cleaning
If you have panels with grease or oil stains, use a fabric stain remover to clean the area. The cleaner can be water-based or solvent-based, but do a spot test cleaning to ensure the fabric and color are not damaged by the particular detergent you plan to use.
Annual Cleaning
About once a year, you should thoroughly clean the panels using a liquid detergent such as a fabric stain remover with a brush or a sponge. Let the panels dry afterward.
Glass Care & Cleaning
Standard Cleaning
Use a clean, soft, lint-free cloth to wipe all dirt off the surfaces. Use a clean cloth with warm water to clean the surface. Warm water will enable the return of the frosted appearance much more quickly. Use a clean, dry cloth to wipe the surface again to remove any remaining water. If you need to clean the inside of the glass, don’t spray the water directly onto the glass. Just dampen a cloth and wipe the inside of the glass clean. It may take 24 hours or longer for the etched frosting to properly dry and to not have a cloudy appearance.
Note: Don’t use any chemicals or harsh soaps when cleaning frosted glass. While it won’t damage the glass it can get into the pores and cause streaking.
Chairmats Care & Cleaning
Glass Chairmats
Standard Cleaning
The top surface can be cleaned with a paper towel or cloth and glass cleaner. If sticky substances have gotten on the glass, use a single edge razor blade to remove these substances before spraying glass cleaner on the surface. You can also use a one-piece sponge mop on the top surface to avoid bending over.
Chairmats
Standard Cleaning
Wipe off the surface using a damp cloth that has been soaked in water and mild soap. You can use a dry cloth to wipe off the water residue.
