How do I maintain my custom-made wooden furniture from Meubelmakerij De Stoof?

For the natural product leather, proper maintenance is very important. Dust the leather with a soft cloth. For maintenance of specific leathers, please refer to LCK's site: https://lcknederland.nl/c-4601471/harvink-onderhoudsoverzicht/ 

Harvink furniture armrests are made of wood, lacquered wood (soft touch) or leather. In all cases we recommend cleaning them with a dry or slightly damp cloth. NEVER use cleaning agents as these almost always contain aggressive ingredients. If wear is visible, new armrests can be ordered in many cases. Unfortunately, this does not apply to models that have been out of the collection for some time.

Weekly:

Dirt particles on upholstery are almost invisible and can damage the fabric. It is best to vacuum fabric upholstery weekly with a suitable and specially reserved brush at half suction. Make sure the brush is undamaged and specifically suitable for fabric upholstery. Always vacuum with any nap.

Major maintenance:

All our fabric covers are removable and can be dry-cleaned.  You will find some options at www.cristalcleaning.nl. Here, however, you should explicitly discuss the risks in advance. Additional care instructions for Kvadrat fabrics can be found at www.kvadrat.dk.

Not only exposure to sunlight but also to bright artificial light, such as halogen lighting, can change the surface of YOUR furniture. Depending on the material, the furniture can become lighter or darker.

In general, natural wood yellows and stained wood fades. The less processed the table is, the faster the colour of the wood changes.

Synthetic fibres perform better than natural fibres.

Absolute lightfastness can never be achieved. It is therefore important to protect your furniture from direct light. This is especially important in south-facing rooms with large windows. Change of colour is possible after only a few weeks.

Please note that the wood may change shortly after delivery. Therefore, be careful when placing table runners, vases or other decorative elements on the table. If these are not changed regularly, the table top may start to show colour differences.

Please note that our furniture is suitable for general indoor use, not for outdoor or bathroom use.

The load capacity of armrests, footrests, etc. is limited. They should not be loaded with full body weight.

All our chairs are tested for their load capacity in accordance with international standards. The controlled load capacity is at 110kg.

Virtually all our grades have been tested by JAMES. Click on the link for JAMES' website and their advice on stains.

Do not use aggressive cleaning agents / Consult a professional carpet cleaner

At least once a week with smooth hoover nozzle / High-pile carpets regularly (have them) patted

• Never place your leather furniture in direct sunlight
• Prevent pets, denim (jeans) and sharp objects (zips, buckles, watch straps) from damaging the leather
• Beware! Some types of leather do not tolerate cleaning or care products
• Try cleaning and care products on an inconspicuous area first

This leather only receives a barrel dye and is often provided with a protective coating. It is the most natural leather and is therefore particularly beautiful and made from the finest hides. It feels soft and supple and the natural scars and colour nuances (pigments in the hide) are clearly visible and unavoidable. This type of leather is particularly sensitive to dirt, grease, moisture, perspiration and head grease, making it necessary to protect it properly.

Direct radiation from sunlight - UV rays - should also be avoided to prevent discolouration and drying out. Aniline leather is extremely soft because no protective layer is applied. As no pigment layer is applied to the surface, absolutely all life characteristics of the hide are visible and colour differences depending on the structure of the hide and its absorbency are remarkably visible. Aniline leather is for true connoisseurs who also accept that this leather requires a lot of (after)care.

This leather is coated with a lightly pigmented protective layer (a very thin lacquer layer). This protective layer reasonably prevents the penetration of dirt. Semi aniline leather is close to the original hide, as its natural characteristics are still clearly visible (the holes of the hair inlay can still be seen, for example). Direct radiation from sunlight - UV rays - should be avoided to prevent discolouration and dehydration. Through use, a beautiful shine is created, called patina. Due to the thin protective layer, colour differences inherent to the absorption of the dye by the skin are clearly visible.

Refer to the fireplace's instructions for maintenance or check the instructions on the Faber and/or Dimplex websites.
