Metal

1. Protect from Moisture: Moisture is metal furniture’s worst enemy. Make sure to keep your metal furniture dry and protect it from rain, humidity, spills, and watermarks.
2. Clean Regularly: Clean your metal furniture regularly to remove dirt, dust, and grime. Use a soft cloth or sponge and mild detergent to wipe down the surfaces. Avoid using abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals that may scratch or damage the metal.
3. Spot Treat Stains: If your metal furniture has any stains or marks, spot-treat them immediately. Use a soft cloth and gentle cleaning solution to wipe away the blemish. For stubborn stains, you can use a non-abrasive metal cleaner to restore shine.
4. Polish for Shine: Metal furniture can lose its luster over time. To restore its shine and protect it from oxidation, polish the metal periodically. You can use a commercial metal polish or make a DIY solution using vinegar and baking soda. Apply the polish with a soft cloth and buff it in with circular motions.
5. Inspect for Damage: Regularly inspect your metal furniture for any signs of damage or corrosion. If you notice any rust, chips, or dents, address them immediately before they worsen. You can use touch-up paint, rust inhibitors, or replace the damaged parts to maintain the integrity of the metal furniture.

Avoid excessive sunlight, dampness and hot or cold conditions. For routine cleaning, use a cloth that has been dampened with water or diluted cleaning polish. Clean spills or smudges with a damp cloth moistened in mild soap or cleaning polish. For nickel and brass hardware, simply clean with a damp cloth. Place a felt or leather pad under all lamp bases and accessories to avoid surface scratches. Polish only every six months with a silicone-free polish, as polishing too often may result in a waxy build-up.
