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.
