Product Maintenance Tips

At MY STORE, we believe that the beauty of your home decor should last for years to come. To help you maintain your decor in top condition, we’ve put together a few simple maintenance tips for some of our most popular items:

1. Furniture

  • Regular Cleaning: Dust your furniture regularly with a soft, microfiber cloth to keep it looking fresh and free from debris. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with a gentle soap solution. Always follow up with a dry cloth to avoid moisture damage.
  • Polishing: For wooden furniture, use a high-quality polish or wood cleaner to maintain its shine. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.
  • Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading and drying out of wood or fabric. Position furniture away from direct light to preserve its color and finish.

2. Textiles (Rugs, Curtains, Cushions, etc.)

  • Vacuum Regularly: Vacuum rugs and cushions frequently to prevent dust build-up and to maintain the texture. Be sure to use a vacuum with a gentle setting to avoid damaging fibers.
  • Spot Clean Stains: For minor stains, gently blot the area with a clean cloth and mild detergent. Always test cleaning products on a small, inconspicuous area first.
  • Professional Cleaning: For large or heavily soiled textiles, consider professional cleaning to ensure they remain in pristine condition.

3. Wall Art & Mirrors

  • Dusting: Dust your framed art and mirrors with a soft cloth to keep them looking fresh. For glass surfaces, use a glass cleaner for streak-free shine.
  • Avoid Direct Contact: When handling art or mirrors, always wear clean gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints. Also, be cautious when placing them in areas prone to humidity, which can affect the frame or artwork.

4. Lighting (Lamps, Chandeliers, etc.)

  • Turn Off and Clean: Always turn off the power before cleaning light fixtures. Dust lightbulbs, lampshades, and bases with a soft cloth. For lampshades, use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment to avoid damaging delicate fabrics.
  • Bulb Replacement: Check the lightbulbs periodically and replace them if necessary. Opt for energy-efficient bulbs to help conserve energy and maintain the longevity of your lighting pieces.

5. Decorative Accessories (Vases, Sculptures, etc.)

  • Gentle Cleaning: For delicate items like vases or sculptures, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the surface.
  • Storage: When not in use, store fragile decor pieces in a safe place to avoid breakage. Consider placing them on display in areas where they’re less likely to be disturbed.
