Last Updated: November 3, 2026

At Lorenia, we believe proper furniture care helps maintain the appearance, comfort, and functionality of your furniture for years to come. Whether you have a sofa, chair, end table, or home office desk chair, regular cleaning and simple maintenance can help keep your furniture in great condition.

1. General Furniture Care

Dust furniture regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth.
Avoid placing furniture in direct sunlight for extended periods, as prolonged exposure may cause fading or discoloration.
Keep furniture away from excessive moisture, heat sources, and sudden temperature changes.
Clean spills as soon as possible to help prevent stains or surface damage.
Use furniture for its intended purpose and follow the product's weight and usage recommendations.
Avoid dragging heavy furniture across floors. Lift it carefully when moving.

2. Sofa and Couch Care

Vacuum upholstery regularly using a suitable upholstery attachment to remove dust, crumbs, and debris.
Blot spills gently with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, which may spread stains or damage fabric fibers.
Follow the fabric manufacturer's cleaning instructions before using any cleaning products.
Test cleaning solutions on a small, hidden area before applying them to visible surfaces.
Rotate or rearrange removable cushions periodically to help maintain an even appearance.
Keep sharp objects, pets' claws, and rough materials away from upholstery to reduce the risk of scratches and snags.

3. Chair and Home Office Desk Chair Care

Wipe chair frames and hard surfaces with a soft cloth.
Clean upholstered seats according to the recommended material care instructions.
Check screws, bolts, and other connections periodically and tighten them when necessary.
Avoid leaning back excessively or placing unusual pressure on chair components.
For office chairs, keep wheels and moving parts free from dust and debris.
Use chairs on suitable floor surfaces and consider protective mats when needed.

4. End Table and Wood Furniture Care

Wipe surfaces with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth, then dry them promptly.
Use coasters, placemats, or protective pads to prevent water rings, heat marks, and scratches.
Avoid placing hot cookware, wet containers, or sharp objects directly on furniture surfaces.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or rough scrubbing materials.
Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for polished, painted, metal, or wood finishes.

5. Assembly and Maintenance

Follow the assembly instructions provided with your furniture.
Make sure all components and fasteners are properly installed before use.
Periodically inspect joints, legs, brackets, and other structural parts.
Do not modify the furniture or replace components with unsuitable parts.
If you notice loose connections, unusual movement, or damage, stop using the furniture until it has been inspected or repaired.

6. Cleaning Products and Precautions

Different furniture materials require different cleaning methods. Always review the care label or product instructions before cleaning. Avoid bleach, strong solvents, abrasive powders, and unapproved chemical cleaners unless specifically recommended for the material.

When in doubt, use a gentle cleaning method and test it on an inconspicuous area first.
