Caring for Organic & Natural Materials


Painted Finishes
To maintain painted surfaces, gently clean with a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn dirt, a cloth lightly dampened with clean water may be used. Always follow with a dry, soft cloth.

Rattan, Wicker & Cane
Our handcrafted rattan, cane, and wicker fittings feature intricate weaving and binding techniques that may collect dust in crevices. To maintain their appearance, we recommend weekly dusting or using a vacuum cleaner with an upholstery brush attachment to reach more difficult areas.

Fabric
Fabric fittings should be kept away from areas prone to moisture, as damp environments can reduce their lifespan. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may also cause fading or degradation over time. To clean, gently remove dust using a fine brush or lint roller. For spot cleaning, use a soft, slightly damp cloth, dabbing along the grain. Do not immerse in water or use harsh cleaning agents.

Cotton & Linen
To care for cotton or linen fittings, begin by removing dust with a soft brush, duster, or lint roller. For more thorough cleaning, use a damp cloth to gently wipe the surface. If the material loses its shape, a handheld steamer may be used to restore its original form.

Wood
Wooden fittings should be regularly dusted with a soft, dry cloth. For more detailed cleaning, a cloth slightly dampened with clean water may be used, followed by thorough drying with a separate cloth to avoid water spots and preserve the material's natural finish.


Proper care ensures longevity of your natural material fittings. Should you need personalised advice or product-specific recommendations, please contact our Customer Service team at [email protected]
