• Arhaus collections are crafted by artisans from around the world and are expertly designed to withstand everyday use. However, as even the best-made furnishings and décor are not indestructible, normal wear and tear will reflect use and care.
• Arhaus finishes may change over time, and natural wood may display small splits, knots, joint lines, or other features that will add character to your piece without affecting its quality or performance.
• Furniture made from natural wood may move slightly as temperature and humidity cause the wood to expand and contract. This is normal and should be expected from season to season.
• Our hand-crafted Italian wood furnishings can be easily cared for by regularly dusting with a soft, clean, undyed cloth.
• Artisan-crafted Italian wood finishes should occasionally be waxed with natural and transparent beeswax. This will help preserve both the wood and the finish.
• Depending on the fabric selected for your upholstery, standard cleaning codes may be designated, indicating how to care for it.
• Pieces upholstered in Tundra Performance Fabrics are code S: Spot-clean using water-free cleaning solvents only. Do not use water or dry clean.
• For best results, follow use instructions for furniture wax carefully. Do not over apply.
• To help prevent fabrics and leathers from fading over time, avoid placing indoor upholstery in direct sunlight or near sources of heat or moisture.
• Vacuum your upholstery occasionally, using upholstery and crevice attachments to clean up loose particles.
• Spot-clean upholstery using a clean, absorbent, undyed cloth with a blotting motion. Blot from the outside towards the middle of the soiled area to prevent rings. Never scrub.
• Before cleaning, pre-test upholstery cleaners for color loss and compatibility by applying a small amount to a hidden section of fabric.
• If you are mixing cleaners, dilute the mixture using distilled water. Be careful not to over-wet your furniture.
• Avoid over-rubbing and never clean fabrics with a hard-bristle brush as this could damage fibers.
• All fabrics may pill from friction and normal wear, as everyday use loosens fibers. Occasionally use a fabric (or “sweater”) shaver to gently remove pills. Pilling should decrease once loose fibers are removed.
• To prevent moisture damage (like water rings), wipe up spills immediately with a soft, dry, undyed cloth.
• Do not clean using abrasives, harsh, corrosive chemicals, or care products containing ammonia or silicone, as these could damage finishes and surfaces.
• Avoid placing indoor furnishings in direct sunlight or near sources of heat or moisture, as this could cause cracking or changes in finishes.
• Lift wood furniture when moving. Do not drag, as this could loosen joinery and damage your piece.
• Do not lean back in chairs.
