ASA Hyacinth Weave Drum Stool, Large

Natural Fibres

• Vacuum regularly to remove dirt, dust, and debris. Use a vacuum with a brush attachment to gently loosen and remove particles among the fibres. Vacuum in different directions to ensure thorough cleaning.

• Natural fibres can be damaged by excessive moisture. Avoid using water or steam cleaners on them. If a spill occurs, blot it immediately with a clean, dry cloth or paper towel to absorb as much liquid as possible. Avoid rubbing the spot, as this can push the stain deeper into the fibres.

• For stubborn stains, mix a small amount of mild detergent with water. Dampen a cloth with the solution and gently blot the stain. Rinse the area with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue, then blot dry.

• Rotate your pieces every few months to ensure even wear and exposure to sunlight.

• Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading and weakening of the fibres. Place your pieces in an area with indirect sunlight, or use window treatments to block harsh UV rays.

• If you notice any fraying or loose fibres, trim them carefully with scissors. Do not pull on loose fibres, as this can cause further damage.

Rattan

• Place your rattan furniture in places where humidity and heat levels are consistent, as changes can result in warps or cracks due to expansion and contraction.

• Moisture and heat can cause damage to any finish. Always wipe up moisture promptly and dry with a soft cloth.

• Dust regularly using a soft cloth or feather duster to remove dust and debris from the surface of the rattan.

• For further cleaning, a soft, lint-free cloth with water and a drop of mild soap is recommended. Do not use strong cleaning products such as bleach as this may dissolve the finish. If in doubt, test the cleaning product on a small patch in an inconspicuous location before applying to the rest of the furniture. Avoid soaking the rattan, as excess water can damage the fibres. Remove soap residue with a clean damp cloth and dry with a towel, then let dry completely in a ventilated area.

Solid Brass

• If you prefer to restore the brass hardware to a shine, you may use a metal polish suitable for brass metal. Do a small patch test in an inconspicuous area before polishing the whole hardware.

• Avoid using abrasive cleaners that can scratch and dull metal surfaces.
