STORAGE SOLUTIONS CARE GUIDE

Storage solutions like chests, cabinets, and benches help organize and enhance living spaces. Proper care is essential to preserve their appearance and functionality.

Here’s how to care for different materials commonly used in storage furniture.

 

 

Wooden Storage Furniture (Chests & Cabinets) Care

Wooden storage units are both durable and stylish, requiring regular maintenance to avoid wear:

  • Dusting & Cleaning: Dust wooden surfaces weekly with a microfiber cloth. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth and wipe immediately to prevent moisture damage. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can harm the finish.

  • Polishing & Protection: Apply a wood polish or wax every 6–12 months to maintain the wood’s luster and protect against minor scratches. To prevent warping or discoloration, keep wood furniture away from direct sunlight and humidity.

  • Avoiding Water Damage: Use coasters or liners for any items placed on top, especially liquids, to avoid stains or water rings.


 

Metal & Hardware Care

Many storage solutions, particularly chests and cabinets, feature metal hardware, which needs special attention:

  • Regular Dusting: Wipe down metal handles and hardware with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris.

  • Polishing Metal Components: For metal accents or handles, use a gentle metal polish periodically to prevent tarnishing. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals.

  • Rust Prevention: In humid conditions, apply a rust-resistant coating or keep metal components dry to avoid corrosion.


 

Fabric Upholstered Storage Benches Care

If your storage solution includes a fabric-upholstered bench or cushion:

  • Vacuuming & Spot Cleaning: Regularly vacuum upholstered surfaces with a brush attachment. For spills, blot immediately and use a fabric-safe cleaner. Always test cleaners on a hidden area first.

  • Deep Cleaning: Consider professional upholstery cleaning every 12–18 months, particularly for delicate fabrics like linen or velvet.


 

Glass Accents Care

If your storage unit includes glass doors or shelves:

  • Glass Cleaning: Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth to remove smudges or fingerprints. Avoid abrasive pads that can scratch the surface.

  • Preventing Scratches: Avoid placing sharp objects directly on glass surfaces to prevent scratches. Use placemats or decorative coasters to protect the glass.
