Wood Surfaces
Finished wood surfaces should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth, always with the wood grain direction.
Dry with a soft cloth, again wiping in the direction of the grain.
Clean any spills immediately.
Do not apply harsh cleaners (ammonia-based products) nor use abrasive materials for cleaning.
If “Pledge” “Endust” or other products are used, never apply directly to table. Apply to soft cloth, and then to table. Anees assumes no responsibility for damage caused using cleaning or polishing agents.
Light finishes do not hide or mask the natural characteristics of the wood; therefore, inherent natural characteristics of the wood will vary from piece to piece. Natural characteristics are not considered defects. Finishes will naturally oxidize over time. We recommend never leaving anything on the surface for a prolonged amount of time to ensure that the finish ages evenly.
Avoid placing near heaters and air conditioning units to prevent over-drying or excessive moisture. Avoid extreme humidity changes which can cause wood to crack. Do not place hot or moist objects directly on the wood.
We recommend that stained or soiled wood or lacquer pieces be professionally cleaned or refinished
TEXTILES
Daily care for textiles by vacuuming or lightly brushing.
Maintain textiles by keeping them away from direct sunlight. Rotate and flip cushions for even wear.
The nap of high pile textiles such as velvets, may become crushed over time. We recommend light steaming to lift the pile to its original height. The textile should also be brushed with a de-linting brush to maintain its pile.
Water based or solvent cleaner may cause discoloration or staining.
We recommend professional cleaning for any stains.
LEATHERS
Leather is a natural, soft, and porous material and can easily absorb liquids and oily substances.
Avoid saturating the leather with lotion or water for a long period of time.
Care for leather by dusting and lightly vacuuming.
Maintain leathers by keeping them away from direct sunlight and heating vents.
We recommend that stained leather be professionally cleaned.
METALS
Use soft, clean cotton or extra soft cloth. Never use cleaners with alcohol or solvents.
Tarnished metals should be professionally cleaned.
Cast Bronze
Clean by using a dry or slightly dampened cloth or a vacuum brush. If removing dirt, use a light soap and warm water. Wipe clean with a damp dry cloth. Dry with a clean cloth to avoid water spots.
Patina Bronze
Rub in the direction of the patina with a soft cloth. This will restore the luster to bronze pieces that have been coated with a wax seal (wax will dull over time from handling).
Polished Metal
Clean polished metal or polished stainless with a damp cloth. Do not use commercial or heavy-duty polishes or waxes. They may damage the finish.
STONE AND ENGINEERED STONE TOPS
Natural Stone
Stone such as granite and slate are more durable and relatively easy to clean, while stones, such as marble, are more porous and sensitive to acidic cleaning products.
Stone tops are sealed or polished to be stain resistant. Many common foods and drinks contain acids that will etch or dull the surface of many stones. Use placemats or felt spots under objects that may scratch the surface.
Clean stone surfaces with a soft cloth and a light detergent combined with warm water. Too much cleaner or soap may leave a film or streaks. Rinse the surface thoroughly after cleaning and dry with a soft cloth.
For spills, blot with a soft cloth immediately to prevent the stain from being absorbed by the stone. Dry the area with a soft cloth.
We recommend that stained or soiled stone be professionally cleaned by a stone cleaner or refinisher.
Engineered Stone
Use a soft cotton cloth to remove dirt from the surface. Engineered stone tops can be washed with hot water. If necessary, add the manufacturer’s recommended dose of mild detergent. Rinse with hot water and dry with a cloth.
Clean any spills immediately, without letting them dry.
Avoid using abrasives or scouring pads as they could affect the surface.
