Metal Care

Set up

Metal furniture should be assembled on a soft surface to avoid scratches or damage during assembly. Always lift your metal furniture when moving it. Dragging may cause damage to legs and joints and can scratch your floor surfaces. Felt tabs are recommended to use on the base of metal furniture.

Although many metals are treated to resist rust, it’s still essential to prevent excessive water exposure. Place your furniture in a dry area.

Protection

Many decorative objects and dishware have rough or unfinished bottoms that scratch metal. We recommend using coasters and protective felt tabs to prevent surface scratches.

Spills should be cleaned up immediately, and moisture should never be allowed to stand on metal furniture. Use a clean soft dry cloth to remove liquids immediately.

Maintenance

Regular dusting is recommended. Spills and sticky spots should be cleaned up with a clean cloth and water. Wring the soft, clean cloth until it is nearly dry before bringing it into contact with the surface, then proceed to wipe the area. Once the spill is cleaned make sure the surface is completely dry.

Avoid cleaning products that contain harsh chemicals like bleach or ammonia, which can damage the metal finish.
