At MERAKI, we believe that proper care extends the life and beauty of your furniture. Following these simple maintenance guidelines will ensure your pieces remain stunning for years to come.
Care & Maintenance Instructions
To ensure the lasting beauty and durability of your furniture, please follow these care guidelines:
1. General Handling:
- Always lift furniture when moving; dragging can weaken joints or damage legs.
- Avoid placing hot, wet, or sharp objects directly on surfaces - use coasters, mats, or pads.
2. Wood Veneer & Engineered Wood:
- Clean with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth - never use excessive water or harsh chemicals.
- Avoid direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent fading, warping, or peeling.
- For polish maintenance, use furniture wax or polish recommended for veneer (every 3 to 6 months).
3. Brass & Metal Accents:
- Wipe with a dry microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints and dust.
- For tarnish, use brass-safe polish sparingly and test on a small area first.
- Avoid acidic cleaners or rough scrubbing that could damage the finish.
4. Upholstered Surfaces (if applicable):
- Vacuum fabric surfaces regularly using a soft brush attachment.
- Spot clean stains immediately with mild soap and cold water.
- Do not bleach, machine wash, or expose fabric to direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
5. Storage & Placement:
- Do not place furniture directly against walls with moisture or near heaters.
- Use furniture indoors only unless specifically made for outdoor use.
Additional Care Tips
- Rotate cushions and accessories periodically to ensure even wear
- Keep furniture away from air conditioning vents and heating sources
- Use furniture pads under lamps and decorative items
- Inspect regularly for loose screws or joints and tighten as needed
Important Note

Remember: Well-maintained furniture not only retains its aesthetic appeal but also holds its value over time. These simple care practices will ensure your MERAKI pieces remain treasured heirlooms for generations.
