Care + Maintenance

For all Croft House furniture, protection from heat and moisture is crucial to the longevity of the piece. To help prevent scratches, use adhesive felt pads, coasters, placemats, and avoid sliding objects across the surface of the piece where possible.

// Lacquer + Paint + Metal Surfaces

  • Dry-dust with a clean microfiber or feather duster.Wipe with a slightly damp microfiber towel and a mild cleaner as needed. Wipe dry promptly.

  • We recommend cleaning with ammonia-free Windex or a mild surface cleaner.

  • Please avoid bleach, alcohol, or petroleum-based cleaners. You may use a general-purpose wood cleaner.

  • Avoid using furniture polish; over time it can accumulate residue.

// Wax + Oil Finish

  • Dry-dust with a clean microfiber or feather duster.

  • Wipe with a slightly damp microfiber towel; wipe dry immediately.

  • Clean with ammonia-free Windex or a mild surface cleaner.

  • Avoid bleach, alcohol, or petroleum-based cleaners.

  • Our natural wax- and oil-finishes will dull over time. Wax or teak oil may be reapplied as needed using a soft white cloth.

// Raw Wood

  • Dry-dust with a clean microfiber or feather duster.

  • Use a damp microfiber towel or soft brush as needed.

  • Do not use any product containing wax or oil to clean the wood finish.

// Outdoor Furniture

  • Outdoor furniture may require more frequent oiling. A cover is strongly recommended for all outdoor pieces.

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and/or moisture.

  • If exposed to rain, allow cushions to air dry completely before placing them back on the frame.

// Leather Care

  • Dry-dust with a clean microfiber or feather duster.

  • Wipe with a slightly damp microfiber towel. Do not use cleaning chemicals on the leather.

  • We recommend a leather conditioner such as Skidmore’s Original Leather Cream.

// Marble + Stone Surfaces

  • Dry-dust with a clean microfiber or feather duster.

  • Wipe with a slightly damp microfiber towel; wipe dry immediately.

  • For daily cleaning we recommend using Orange Glo and/or Method Stone Cleaner.

  • All marble and stone surfaces are protected with a sealer. To maintain appearance and protection, re-seal with Miracle 511 Seal & Enhance as needed. Use coasters and clean up moisture immediately.
