At thekik.in, we want your furniture to look beautiful and last for years to come. Proper care and maintenance can help preserve the finish, durability, and overall appearance of your engineered wood furniture. Please follow these simple guidelines to keep your pieces in excellent condition.
General Care Tips
- Regular Cleaning: Dust your furniture regularly using a soft, dry, or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cloths or sponges that may scratch the surface.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach, ammonia-based cleaners, or other harsh chemicals as they can damage the finish. Mild soap diluted in water is safe for occasional cleaning.
- Prevent Scratches: Use coasters, mats, or pads under objects to prevent scratches or heat damage. Avoid placing sharp or rough items directly on the furniture surface.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading or discoloration. Position furniture away from windows or use curtains/blinds to minimize UV exposure.
- Control Humidity: Maintain a consistent indoor humidity level to prevent wood warping or cracking. Use a humidifier or dehumidifier as needed.
Specific Tips for Engineered Wood Furniture
- Wipe Spills Immediately: Clean spills promptly to prevent moisture damage or stains. Use a soft cloth to blot liquids instead of rubbing them.
- Avoid Excess Water: Do not saturate the furniture with water during cleaning. Excess moisture can weaken engineered wood layers.
- Protect Surfaces: Use placemats or tablecloths on coffee tables and dining tables to shield the finish from food and drink spills.
- Handle with Care: When moving furniture, lift rather than drag to avoid stress on joints or legs.
Assembly & Maintenance
- Follow the assembly instructions carefully for knock-down furniture to ensure stability and longevity.
- Periodically check and tighten screws or fittings to maintain structural integrity.
- If you notice any damage or loose parts, contact our customer support for assistance.
Avoid These Common Mistakes
- Placing hot items like pots or cups directly on the furniture without protection.
- Using sharp tools or metal objects on the furniture surface.
- Allowing pets to scratch or chew the furniture.
- Ignoring cleaning and letting dirt accumulate over time.
