Frequently Asked Questions
For our wood products:
- To clean, simply use a soft cloth moistened in lukewarm soap and water then buff with a dry, clean cloth.
- NEVER use glass cleaners on finished furniture, ammonia will chemically attack the lacquer.
- NEVER allow liquids of any kind to remain in decorative route lines; absorption causes wood to warp and finishes to de-laminate.
- Prevent marking by not writing directly on the surface.
- Prevent fading by not placing the item in direct sunlight.
- Prevent discoloring by using cloth placemats rather than rubber-based ones.
- Prevent yellowing by not using commercial waxes and polishes.
- Prevent damage to the finish by not placing hot metals, such as pots or kettles, on the surface.
- Prevent splitting by maintain even humidity conditions in your home. For our natural stone products:
- Generally, the best care for natural stone is to keep it clean and buffed. Especially around faucets, wiping off the water will prevent a mineral buildup (a whitish, dull residue on the stone).
- For cleaning marble, always use a pH neutral cleaner. Any acid cleaner will damage the stone.
- Acid does not harm granite, but oil will soak in, leaving a darker area. Wipe up oils, spills, and splatters immediately, using a mild household cleaner. Rinse and buff dry.
- We recommend using a resin-based penetrating sealer to reseal the stone. All natural stone is porous and needs to be sealed periodically to prevent staining liquids from penetrating. Sprinkle a few drops of water on the surface, if they bead up then the sealer is adequate. If they quickly soak in, it is time to reseal the stone.
- Prevent fading by not placing the item in direct sunlight.
- Loose seat cushions should be turned over periodically.
- An occasional "once over lightly" with a soft brush vacuum attachment will prevent dirt from being forced into fabric.
- If spills occur, blot immediately. Use a professional furniture cleaning service when an overall soiled condition has been reached. Contact your authorized Fairmont Designs dealer for the cleaning code to your fabric. Do not launder fabric cushions.
