MAINTENANCE GUIDE

Proper care helps keep your vitreous china products in pristine condition, ensuring they remain both beautiful and functional for years to come. Follow these simple guidelines for regular cleaning and maintenance:

Regular Cleaning

• Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner to maintain the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach or ammonia, as they may damage the glaze.
• For everyday cleaning, warm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge work well to preserve the glossy finish.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue, and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.

Stain Removal

• For tough stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be applied with a soft cloth. Rub gently, rinse thoroughly, and dry.
• Avoid using steel wool, scouring pads, or other abrasive cleaners that could scratch or dull the surface.

Avoiding Cracks and Chips

• Prevent heavy or sharp objects from striking the surface, as these can cause cracks or chips.
• Be mindful of weight limits when placing items on bathroom sinks or lavatories to avoid accidental damage.

Preventing Mold and Mildew

• Ensure proper ventilation in your bathroom to reduce humidity and discourage mold or mildew.
• Clean around edges and seams regularly to prevent water buildup, which can contribute to mold growth.

Protecting Against Chemical Damage and Residues

• Avoid prolonged exposure to acidic substances or harsh chemicals, which may compromise the protective glaze.
• Quickly wipe away any spills from acidic or corrosive substances, such as mouthwash, toothpaste, hair dye, and certain skincare or cleaning products, as these can damage the surface over time.
• Wipe up any areas where water tends to pool to prevent stains and keep the surface clean and dry.

Following these care tips will help maintain the beauty and functionality of your vitreous china products, adding lasting value to your space

Quality furniture is a lasting investment, and proper care can help ensure your wall-hung vanities retain their beauty and functionality for generations. Follow these guidelines to protect the finish and maintain the elegance of your piece:

Protecting Against Sunlight and Spills

• Avoid placing your furniture in direct sunlight, as this can cause fading over time.
• Clean up spills immediately by blotting rather than wiping. Water left for long periods may create white spots in the finish. Be cautious with alcohol, perfume, after-shave, and medications, as these substances can severely damage the finish.

Avoiding Excess Moisture

• Keep your vanity in a well-ventilated space to minimize excess moisture, which can lead to warping or swelling of the wood. Use bathroom fans or open windows to reduce humidity.

Temperature Control

• Avoid placing your vanity near direct heating or cooling sources, as sudden changes in temperature can damage the wood finish and structure.

Regular Cleaning and Dusting

• Dust frequently with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth to remove particles that may scratch the surface.
• When cleaning, rub in the direction of the wood grain to preserve the finish.

Polishing Your Vanity

• We recommend polishing your wood furniture every six months. Use a clean, soft, lint-free cloth, applying polish in the direction of the grain for a consistent finish.
• Opt for polishes that contain detergents, emulsifiers, and mineral oil to maintain the sheen without damaging the finish.
• Note: Polishing is intended for wood vanities only and should not be used on MDF or particleboard vanities, as these materials do not require or withstand polishing.

Handling Hardware and Moving Parts

• Periodically check and gently tighten any hardware, such as drawer handles and hinges, to keep your vanity in optimal condition. Be careful not to over-tighten, which may damage the wood.

Avoiding Heavy Loads

• Since your vanity is wall-hung, avoid placing heavy objects on the surface, as this can strain the mounting hardware or cause the structure to sag over time.
• Consider distributing weight evenly inside drawers or compartments to maintain stability.

Using Protective Mats or Coasters

• Use coasters or protective mats under items like soap dispensers or cosmetics to prevent accidental spills from damaging the finish.

By following these care tips, you’ll enjoy the beauty and durability of your wall-hung vanities for years to come.
