Maintenance Manual
How to keep your furniture beautiful, day after day
At BJGRETAIL LTD, we believe that good furniture is an investment — not only in your home but also in your comfort and lifestyle. With proper care, our cabinets and storage pieces will remain elegant, reliable, and part of your home for many years to come.
🪞 Daily Care & Cleaning
-
Dusting: Use a soft, dry cloth or a microfiber duster to remove dust. Avoid rough materials that may scratch the surface.
-
Cleaning: For routine cleaning, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth and immediately dry with a soft towel.
-
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach, strong detergents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage finishes.
-
Glass Surfaces (if applicable): Use a glass-safe cleaner with a lint-free cloth for a streak-free shine.
🌡️ Placement & Environment
-
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight may cause fading or discolouration. Place furniture away from direct sunlight where possible.
-
Temperature & Humidity: Keep in a stable environment — extreme heat, cold, or humidity may warp or damage wooden elements.
-
Ventilation: Ensure the room is well-ventilated to preserve both wood and finishes.
🍵 Everyday Use
-
Protective Mats: Use coasters or placemats under hot dishes, drinks, or decorative items to prevent stains and heat marks.
-
Even Weight Distribution: Avoid placing very heavy items on one side only; distribute weight evenly to protect structure and balance.
-
Drawers & Doors: Open and close gently to prolong the life of hinges and handles.
🛠️ Long-Term Care
-
Polishing (Wooden Surfaces): Use a furniture polish suitable for your material, applied sparingly every few months, to keep surfaces nourished and lustrous.
-
Hardware Check: Periodically check screws, hinges, and handles to ensure they remain secure. Tighten carefully if needed.
-
Repairs: For any damage, we recommend professional repair services rather than attempting DIY fixes that may cause further harm.
⚠️ Things to Avoid
-
Dragging or pushing cabinets across the floor — always lift with care to prevent both furniture and floor damage.
-
Placing furniture in damp areas such as bathrooms or unheated basements.
-
Using wax sprays excessively, which can build up residue.
