DRESSERS & DRAWERS

High-quality dressers and drawers from Beverganı are crafted using durable materials, ensuring long-lasting use and timeless style.

To maintain their beauty and functionality, specific care is necessary. Below is a detailed guide to help preserve your furniture, including wood, metal, and mechanisms.

 

 

Wooden Dressers & Drawers Care

Wood is a classic material for dressers and drawers, valued for its natural beauty and durability. To ensure the wood maintains its look over time:

  • Dusting & Regular Cleaning: Dust your wooden dresser frequently using a microfiber cloth to avoid dust buildup. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth with water, but ensure the surface is immediately dried afterward to prevent water absorption. Always avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can damage the wood’s finish. If the dresser has intricate carvings or detailed woodwork, use a soft brush to reach small crevices.

  • Polishing & Protection: Every 6 to 12 months, apply a high-quality wood polish or wax. This helps to maintain the natural sheen of the wood and creates a protective layer against scratches. If your dresser is placed in high-traffic areas, consider applying a protective finish to guard against wear and tear.

  • Avoiding Sunlight & Moisture: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause discoloration and fading in wood, while excessive moisture can lead to warping or cracking. To avoid this, position your furniture away from windows and areas prone to moisture, such as bathrooms or humid spaces. Use dehumidifiers in rooms with high humidity levels.

  • Preventing Scratches: Add felt pads under items like lamps, vases, or decorative objects to prevent them from scratching the dresser's surface. Avoid dragging objects across the surface, as this can cause scratches or dents.

We recommend using furniture pads under the legs to prevent scratching the floor and to add stability. For homes with children or pets, consider using protective tablecloths or covers on the top surface to avoid accidental damage.
 

Metal Handles & Drawer Pulls Care

Many dressers feature Metal hardware such as handles, knobs, or drawer pulls. While these are designed for durability, they require proper care to keep them looking polished:

  • Routine Cleaning: Wipe metal hardware regularly with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust. For more thorough cleaning, use a cloth dampened with warm, soapy water. Be sure to dry the hardware immediately to prevent rust formation.

  • Polishing Metal Components: Depending on the material (brass, stainless steel, or other metals), use a non-abrasive metal polish to restore shine and prevent tarnishing. Always follow the polish manufacturer’s instructions and avoid abrasive pads that could scratch the surface.

  • Rust Prevention: In humid environments, metal hardware can be prone to rust. Regular cleaning and drying are essential, especially after exposure to moisture. If rust develops, use a specialized rust remover and polish the hardware afterward to restore its finish.

To maintain the shine of metal components, avoid harsh cleaners and regularly polish them to keep them free of tarnish or rust.
 

Drawer Interior & Liner Care

The interiors of drawers can accumulate dust and debris over time. To maintain a clean and functional interior:

  • Dusting & Vacuuming: Remove all items from the drawers and use a handheld vacuum to clean the inside. Pay special attention to corners where dirt tends to accumulate. For delicate items like jewelry or fabric, consider using drawer liners to protect the interior surface.

  • Using Drawer Liners: Drawer liners not only protect the bottom of your drawers but also add a layer of protection against spills and scratches. They are especially useful in kitchen or bathroom dressers where spills may occur. Liners can easily be replaced when worn or damaged.

  • Cleaning Lined Drawers: If your drawers have liners, clean them using a mild cleaner and a soft cloth. Replace liners if they become damaged or stained over time.


 

Drawer Mechanism Maintenance

To ensure your drawers open and close smoothly for years to come, it’s essential to maintain the mechanical parts:

  • Lubrication: Metal or wooden drawer tracks can become sticky or difficult to move over time. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the drawer slides every 6 months to keep them operating smoothly. This will help prevent squeaking and ensure easy operation.

  • Checking Hardware: Regularly check for loose screws, nuts, or bolts in the drawer mechanisms and tighten them to ensure stability. Misaligned or loose hardware can cause drawers to jam or become difficult to open. If you notice misalignment, adjust the tracks to prevent further wear.

  • Repairing or Replacing Components: If your drawers start sticking or come off their tracks, inspect the slides for damage. Repair or replace worn-out components to maintain the functionality of your dresser.

Maintaining the drawer mechanisms ensures smooth operation and prolongs the life of your furniture. Lubricate moving parts regularly to prevent friction and wear.
 

Specialized Care for Lacquered or Painted Dressers

Some dressers may come with a lacquer or painted finish. These surfaces require extra attention to avoid peeling or chipping:

  • Dusting: Use a soft, damp cloth for dusting, and avoid cleaning products with ammonia, as this can damage the finish. Dry the surface immediately after wiping.

  • Avoiding Scratches: Painted surfaces can scratch more easily, so avoid dragging objects across them. Use coasters or cloth pads under decorative items to prevent surface damage.

  • Touch-Up Kits: If the paint or lacquer finish gets scratched or chipped, use a touch-up kit recommended by the manufacturer to repair small areas without affecting the overall appearance.

By following these detailed care instructions, your Bevergani dressers and drawers will retain their beauty, functionality, and durability for years to come.
