Lacquered \/ Wood<\/strong><\/h4>

To preserve the integrity and appearance of the surfaces, remove dust with a soft, dry cloth. For wood surfaces, use only specific cleaning products, applying them gently to avoid scratches.<\/p>

We recommend protecting materials from direct sunlight, which may alter their color over time. Avoid using products containing alcohol, acetone, ammonia, chlorine, solvents, abrasives, or furniture waxes, as they may damage the finish.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Laminate \/ Melamine coated-surfaces<\/strong><\/h4>

Matte laminate or melamine-coated surfaces tend to show fingerprints and marks more easily. For proper cleaning, remove dust using a soft, dry cloth\u2014preferably microfiber. Avoid using abrasive cloths, which may scratch the surface.<\/p>

We recommend preparing a gentle solution of lukewarm water and mild soap, avoiding harsh detergents that could compromise the finish. Dip a soft cloth into the solution, wring it out thoroughly, and clean the surface using circular motions, paying special attention to persistent stains.<\/p>

For best results, dry the surface immediately with a soft, dry cloth to prevent streaks or water marks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Leather \/ Hide<\/strong><\/h4>

For daily cleaning of leather surfaces, remove dust with a soft, dry cloth. In case of stains, act promptly by dabbing the surface with a clean white cloth slightly dampened with lukewarm water. Avoid excessive rubbing, as it may compromise the integrity of the material. It is recommended to use specific leather cleaners at least twice a year to keep the surface in optimal condition, treating all areas evenly.<\/p>

Specific stains:<\/strong><\/p>

Oily stains:<\/strong> Gently blot the substance with absorbent paper, taking care not to apply pressure to avoid it penetrating the pores of the leather. Then clean the area with a cloth dampened with a highly diluted solution of mild soap, gently dabbing the surface.<\/p>

Coffee, tea, milk or soft drink stains:<\/strong> Immediately blot the liquid with a non-abrasive cloth or absorbent paper. Then treat the area with a damp cloth and dry carefully. Let the surface air-dry, avoiding direct sunlight and heat sources such as hairdryers or irons.<\/p>

For hide, use a soft cloth or cotton soaked in a 3% solution of neutral wool detergent. Remove any residue with a well-wrung damp cloth, avoiding excess moisture on the surface.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Solid Surface<\/strong><\/h4>

To preserve surfaces, regularly remove dust with a soft cloth. In case of stains caused by liquids or oily substances, act immediately by gently blotting with an absorbent cloth. Then clean the entire surface with a cloth dampened with lukewarm water, avoiding excessive rubbing to prevent scratches.<\/p>

It is strongly recommended not to use products containing alcohol, acetone, ammonia, chlorine, solvents, abrasives, or furniture waxes, as they may irreversibly damage the surface, compromise the finish, and cause dullness.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

It is recommended to use a solution of diluted alcohol in water or specific glass cleaners, and to dry thoroughly with a soft cloth to avoid streaks. Take particular care during cleaning to prevent any scratches on the surface.<\/p>

Avoid using products that contain acetone, ammonia, chlorine, solvents, abrasives, or furniture waxes, as they may compromise the integrity and shine of the material.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
