• 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. To keep your Arhaus pieces looking their best, please follow this helpful guide of cleaning and maintenance recommendations.
• Occasionally dust lacquered wood surfaces with a soft, dry cloth and non-wax furniture polish to keep finishes looking their best.
• Metal surfaces should be dusted regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove any particles or loose dirt.
• Avoid contact with excessive moisture.
• Wipe-up spills immediately with a soft, dry cloth; remove dirt with a damp cloth. Dry immediately.
• Do not clean using care products containing ammonia or silicone, as these could damage metal finishes.
• Avoid using abrasives or harsh, corrosive chemicals as these could scratch or mark surfaces.
• For best results, follow use instructions for all cleaning products carefully. Do not over apply.
• 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.
• Gently polish glass components with glass cleaner. Wipe clean with a soft cloth.
• Avoid placing indoor furnishings in direct sunlight or near sources of heat or moisture, as this could cause cracking or changes in finishes.
• When assembling new wood furnishings, avoid overtightening hardware as this could cause cracking.
• Never place hot dishes directly on wood surfaces as this could cause scorching. Similarly, prolonged use of hot electrical equipment may also cause scorching.
• Protect surfaces from incidental marks (like scratching, scorching, and water marks) by using coasters, trivets, felt pads, and non-plastic mats.
• Lift wood furniture when moving. Do not drag, as this could loosen joinery and damage your piece.
• Do not lean back in chairs, and avoid using chair stretchers or table pedestals as footrests.
• Artisan-crafted furnishings made from natural wood with hand-applied finishes may vary in color, pattern, shape, and texture, making each truly unique.
• 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.
• Ensure your furniture sits in a level position to ensure the longevity of your piece, as frames tend to warp if standing on an uneven surface.
