CARE FOR YOUR PAINTED WOODEN FURNITURE

Hand-painted furniture has an intrinsic beauty of its own and a suite of furniture may comprise several items of varying hue. Once painted, every piece of furniture is then artistically distressed to mimic the wear and tear associated with the passing of time.

Looking after your painted wooden furniture

Textured and brush-applied painted finishes have an eggshell sheen lacquer. You should not use wax on these finishes. Instead, clean with a cloth dampened in mild soapy water. To avoid warping and splitting keep wooden bedroom furniture away from direct heat sources such as radiators. Avoid bleaching by keeping your furniture out of direct sunlight.

Moving wooden furniture

Never move a fully loaded wardrobe. Instead, empty the contents first.When positioning a wardrobe, ensure it is on a level surface so that the doors will open and close correctly. Never pick up a chest by holding on to its top surface. Instead, hold the sides of the chest and lift. Where possible, use two or more people to move heavy items of furniture.
