How To Keep Your furniture clean | Home Decor

Know your furniture

This point needs to be the basis of the care for your furniture because every piece is made of different material. Different materials mean different rules. So read the label, ask the seller or your private contractor for the type of materials used and hence the different care that has to be taken.

Here are some common materials used

Leather:  It’s simple, just dust it before cleaning with a leather conditioner and then wipe it clean with a dry cloth. It needs to be conditioned every 6-12 months.

Fabric: vacuum the whole area making it devoid of any dust particles. Check for which material is your furniture made of and start cleaning. A complete guide on it is in the following link.
