  • To keep marble surfaces clean, use a wet cloth and gentle soap (brown soup for example) daily. Avoid harsh cleaners, as they can scratch or damage the marble.

    Be careful with acidic liquids like vinegar or coffee, as they can stain marble. If spills happen, clean them immediately with a soft cloth and mild soap.

    Marble can handle moderate heat, but hot pots and pans should not be placed directly on it. Always use a trivet or hot pad. Avoid dragging items across marble to prevent scratches.

    Direct sunlight can change the color of marble over time. Leaving objects on marble for long periods can also cause discoloration.

    Important notice:
    Although marble is celebrated for its durability and substantial presence, it retains a delicate nature. When placing items on marble surfaces, it's crucial to consider factors like weight, texture, and moisture content. Abrasive materials pose a risk of scratching, while exposure to acid and moisture can lead to unsightly staining. Sunlight exposure may induce discoloration, and excessive weight or impact can potentially cause the stone to break or crack. Handling Aurnia marble tabletops with care is paramount.

    These recommendations offer guidance on the appropriate care and upkeep of Aurnia products. However, they do not guarantee specific outcomes. Aurnia cannot be held accountable for any damage resulting from maintenance activities. It is vital to strictly adhere to the instructions provided by suppliers of chemicals and cleaning solvents, including label directions, to ensure the safe and effective maintenance of Aurnia products.

  • Wipe down the stainless steel surfaces regularly with a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water. This helps remove dust, dirt, and fingerprints.

    Always wipe in the direction of the grain (the brushed texture) of the stainless steel for the best results and to avoid streaking. After cleaning, dry the surfaces thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth to prevent water spots and streaks.

    Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or steel wool, as these can scratch the stainless steel surface.

    Address any spills or stains promptly using a mild cleaner suitable for stainless steel. Rinse with water and dry thoroughly.

    Periodically, apply a stainless steel polish specifically formulated for indoor use to maintain its shine and protect against fingerprints.

    Refrain from using harsh chemicals, bleach, or ammonia-based cleaners on stainless steel furniture, as they can damage the surface.

    If your stainless steel furniture is located near coastal areas or in humid environments, consider applying a protective coating to prevent corrosion.

  • Wipe down the hardened glass surfaces regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and smudges. For stubborn stains, use a mild glass cleaner.

    Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals on hardened glass, as they can scratch or damage the surface.

    Handle glass furniture with care to avoid chips, cracks, or breakage. Avoid placing heavy objects directly onto the glass surface, and use caution when moving furniture to prevent accidental impacts.

    Use coasters, placemats, or tablecloths under glasses, cups, or other objects to prevent scratches or water rings on the glass surface.

    Do not place hot pots, pans, or dishes directly onto the glass surface, as sudden temperature changes can cause the glass to crack or shatter. Use trivets or heat-resistant pads to protect the glass from heat.

    Periodically inspect the glass for any signs of damage, such as chips or scratches, and address them promptly to prevent further issues.

    When cleaning or moving glass furniture, handle it with care to avoid accidental damage. Lift items rather than dragging them across the glass surface.

  • Gently dust the nubuck leather surface with a soft, dry cloth or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove surface dust and debris.

    For spills or stains, blot the affected area immediately with a clean, dry cloth to absorb as much liquid as possible. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain.

Always test the cleaner or solution on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility and avoid discoloration.

    Use a nubuck brush or suede brush to gently brush the nubuck leather in one direction to restore its nap and remove any surface dirt or stains. Be gentle to avoid damaging the delicate texture of the leather.

    Apply a nubuck leather protector or conditioner to help repel water, oil, and stains and maintain the leather's softness and suppleness. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application and reapplication frequency.

    Position nubuck leather furniture away from direct sunlight and heat sources, as prolonged exposure can cause fading and drying out of the leather.

    Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners on nubuck leather, as they can damage the leather's finish and texture. Stick to mild, nubuck-specific cleaners and conditioners.

    Regularly inspect your nubuck leather furniture for any signs of wear, tear, or damage. Address any issues promptly to prevent further deterioration.

For stubborn stains, use a mild detergent diluted with water and gently dab the area. Always test the cleaning solution on a hidden area of the fabric first to ensure compatibility and avoid discoloration.

    The sofa fabric is washable on a delicate cycle at 30 degrees Celsius, follow these steps for machine washing:

    Use a mild detergent suitable for delicate fabrics and set the washing machine to a gentle or delicate cycle with a maximum temperature of 30 degrees Celsius.

    Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as they damages the fabric fibers.

    Once the washing cycle is complete, remove the fabric promptly and air dry them flat or hang them on a clothesline. Avoid tumble drying, as it can cause shrinkage or damage to the fabric.

    Position your sofa away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and discoloration of the fabric over time. Consider using curtains or blinds to block out sunlight during peak hours.

    If you have pets, regularly remove pet hair from the sofa fabric using a lint roller or vacuum cleaner with a pet hair attachment to keep the fabric clean and free of allergens.
