Breeze Furnishings – Care Guide

Caring for Your Furniture

Your furniture is an investment. To keep it looking its best, follow our care and maintenance guidelines carefully.

General Environmental Conditions

• Maintain a balanced room environment: avoid extreme humidity, dryness, or temperature changes.

• Never place furniture near direct heat sources (radiators, stoves) or in direct sunlight.

• Avoid conservatories or areas with fluctuating temperatures, which can cause cracking and warping.

• Always allow for air circulation behind furniture.

Wood Furniture Care

• Use coasters and placemats to protect against heat and spills.

• Never place hot items directly onto wood surfaces.

• Dust regularly using a soft, dry cloth; blot spills immediately.

• Avoid using sprays, silicone polishes, or abrasive cleaners.

• Move lamps and decor frequently to prevent shading differences.

• Leave extending tables extended for the first few months to allow even colour ageing.

• Refrain from dragging furniture—always lift carefully.

• Knots, shade variations, and colour change over time are natural.

Surface Finishes:

• Waxed wood: Polish with natural beeswax every 3 months. Avoid water.

• Oiled finishes: Reapply oil regularly to maintain protection.

• Lacquered finishes: Wipe gently with a lint-free cloth in the direction of the grain.

Specific Material Care

Feather & Down Cushions

• Use feather-proof protectors to prevent sharp quills escaping.

Rustic, Reclaimed & Washed Wood

• Each piece is unique, showing dents, cracks, nail marks, and variations.

• These are part of the charm, not defects.

Painted Finishes

• Variations, brush marks, and hairline cracks are expected and part of the aesthetic.

Metal Handles & Fittings

• Do not polish; they are lacquer-coated.

Marble & Granite

• Clean with a soft, dry cloth.

• Protect from direct sunlight to prevent fading.

Upholstery & Fabric Care

General Upholstery

• Dust or vacuum regularly.

• Remove spills by blotting, not rubbing.

• Rotate cushions for even wear.

Outdoor Fabric (Maze Furniture)

• Wash with warm soapy water or use Maze cleaning kit.

• Use the protective spray provided to guard against stains and UV fading.

Wicker & Poly Rattan

• Clean with lemon oil or a damp cloth.

• Mist lightly every 3 weeks to prevent drying out.

• Vacuum regularly to remove dust from crevices.

Glass & Spray Stone Care

• Clean with warm soapy water.

• Polish with a damp cloth and allow to dry.

• Use Maze-approved spray for protective coating.

Usage & Safety Advice

• Never sit or stand on small tables.

• Use mats when writing or placing heavy items.

• Keep away from AC units or damp areas.

• Tall units should be fixed to walls as needed.

• Uneven floors can cause misalignment; adjust accordingly.

Assembly & Handling

• Always follow assembly instructions.

• Glass tables should never be lifted by the top.

• Avoid overloading glass shelves or overstraining hinges.

Important Notes

• New pieces may vary slightly in colour from display or existing furniture.

• Colour variations, natural marks, and finish inconsistencies are part of the product’s charm.
