Care Instructions

Protect your investment.

Turkish furniture is built to last decades — with the right care. Ghana's climate requires specific maintenance routines. Here is everything you need to know.

🪵

Wood & Engineered Wood

  • 1

    Dust weekly with a dry microfibre cloth — always wipe in the direction of the grain.

  • 2

    Avoid wet cloths directly on wood surfaces. If spills occur, blot immediately and dry thoroughly.

  • 3

    Keep out of direct sunlight. UV exposure fades and dries wood surfaces over time.

  • 4

    Use coasters under drinks. Cold glasses leave permanent ring marks on wood in humid conditions.

  • 5

    Run air conditioning regularly to maintain consistent humidity and prevent warping.

  • 6

    Apply furniture polish or beeswax once a year to nourish and protect the finish.

  • 7

    Tighten any loose screws or bolts annually as part of routine maintenance.

🛋

Upholstered Sofas & Chairs

  • 1

    Vacuum upholstered surfaces weekly using a soft brush attachment.

  • 2

    For spills, blot immediately with a clean dry cloth — never rub as this spreads the stain.

  • 3

    Rotate cushions regularly to distribute wear evenly.

  • 4

    Keep out of direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading.

  • 5

    For fabric sofas, use a fabric protector spray every 6–12 months.

  • 6

    Professional cleaning every 2–3 years is recommended for heavy-use pieces.

🐂

Leather Sofas

  • 1

    Wipe down monthly with a clean, slightly damp cloth, then dry immediately.

  • 2

    Apply a leather conditioner every 6 months to prevent drying and cracking.

  • 3

    Keep leather furniture away from direct sunlight and air conditioning vents.

  • 4

    For spills, blot immediately — do not use water liberally on leather.

  • 5

    Never use household cleaning products on leather — they damage the finish.

  • 6

    Scratches in full-grain leather can often be buffed out with a soft cloth.

🪟

Glass Surfaces

  • 1

    Clean with a lint-free cloth and glass cleaner — apply cleaner to the cloth, not directly to the glass.

  • 2

    Avoid abrasive cloths or scourers which will scratch the glass surface.

  • 3

    Use rubber or felt pads under objects placed on glass to prevent scratching.

  • 4

    Check that glass panels and table tops are seated correctly in their fittings monthly.

🟫

Carpets & Rugs

  • 1

    Vacuum weekly, vacuuming in the direction of the pile.

  • 2

    Rotate rugs every 6 months to ensure even wear.

  • 3

    For spills, blot immediately and allow to dry before vacuuming.

  • 4

    Professional cleaning every 1–2 years is recommended for Turkish hand-tufted rugs.

  • 5

    Use a non-slip underlay beneath rugs to prevent movement and protect both the rug and floor.
