Material Care

All pieces deserve care to age gracefully, not with wear and tear. The following are general guidelines to preserve different types of materials over time.

General care

• Prefer neutral and non-abrasive products.

• Always test any cleaning method on an inconspicuous area before applying to the entire surface.

• Use lukewarm water with mild soap as a first approach.

• Dry after cleaning to avoid stains or corrosion.

• Keep in dry environments, away from direct sunlight and prolonged humidity.

Textiles (cotton, linen, velvet, etc.)

• Wash inside out, on gentle cycles and with neutral detergent.

• Avoid aggressive spinning or high temperatures.

• Do not use chlorine bleach.

• Dry in the shade or in a ventilated place.

• Store without excessive compression, allowing air circulation.

Glass and Crystal

• Clean with warm water and mild soap.

• Dry with a soft cloth to minimize scratches and marks.

• Avoid thermal shocks between cold and hot.

• Handle preferably by the main body of the object, avoiding delicate areas.

Plastic, Acrylic and Polymers

• Clean with warm water and mild soap.

• For stubborn stains, use diluted isopropyl alcohol (after pre-testing).

• Avoid aggressive solvents like acetone.

• Protect from prolonged sun exposure to prevent yellowing or brittleness.

• Store in stable locations to avoid deformation.

Wood and Natural Laminates

• Wipe with a lightly damp, well-wrung cloth.

• Apply appropriate natural oil periodically when necessary.

• Remove spilled liquids immediately.

• Protect from excessively humid or dry environments.

Metals (brass, steel, copper, silver, etc.)

• Clean with mild soap and warm water, then dry.

• Polish with a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive friction.

• Store away from excessive humidity, preferably with additional protection.

• Avoid contact with acidic or chlorine-based substances.

• For oxidizable metals, apply a specific polishing product as needed.
