Furniture care and cleaning chart
ORDINARY CLEANING
For daily cleaning, use warm water and neutral detergents (e.g. soap or neutral detergents, washing-up liquid, alcohol, Marseille soap, glass cleaner for polished surfaces, etc.), a cloth or soft sponge.
Caution: on polished surfaces, do not use abrasive products or sponges such as metal sponges for pots and pans, or the green part of dishwashing sponges.
EXTRAORDINARY CLEANING
Soft-touch surface:
Normal stains can be easily removed as indicated in the ordinary cleaning instructions. For treatment or installation residues such as fillers or silicones, please refer to the table below.
Polished surfaces :
In general, polished surfaces are particularly resistant and easy to clean, although the removal of coffee, wine and tea stains, containing particular pigmented substances, is effective if you intervene quickly.
To remove particularly resistant stains or residues of these substances, we recommend an initial cleaning with hot water and a neutral detergent. If this is not enough, use the products listed in the following table.
