Furniture Care Tips to Keep Every Piece Looking New

A little regular care goes a long way toward keeping furniture looking as good as the day it arrived. A few habits worth building in:

Wood furniture

Dust with a soft, dry cloth rather than a damp one when possible, and keep pieces out of direct sunlight where you can — UV exposure is the main cause of fading and drying over time. Wipe up spills right away rather than letting them sit.

Upholstery

Vacuum fabric surfaces every couple of weeks to keep dust from working into the fibers, and check the care tag before spot-cleaning any stain — a quick test in an inconspicuous spot first can save you from a bigger problem.

Outdoor furniture

Rinse with plain water regularly to clear pollen, dust, and salt air, and consider a breathable cover during long stretches of harsh weather. It's the single easiest way to extend the life of an outdoor set.
