General care & maintenance tips
• Recommended humidity in the room for interior
products: between 40% and 60%.
• To prevent colour differences, do not place furniture
or accessories in direct sunlight, and move objects
placed on the furniture from time to time.
Open extendable tables on a regular basis.
• Avoid exposure to extreme conditions: do not place
furniture or accessories near heating sources or
air-conditioned spaces.
• To prevent staining, we recommend that any spills are
removed immediately.
• When cleaning the surface, always work in the
direction of the wood grain.
• Use place mats and/or coasters to prevent hot
pots and pans, or cold glasses and bottles, from
damaging items.
• Do not drag the furniture along the floor; always lift
the furniture when moving.
• Always ensure water and solutions used to clean the
floor do not come into contact with the furniture’s
base, as it might leave permanent marks.
• Indoor products are not intended for outdoor use. An
outdoor product will always indicate so in its name.
• Last but not least, we always recommend carefully
reading the care instructions specific to your item.
All woods, hard surfaces & materials
REGULAR CARE
For dusting, use a dry cloth. For cleaning, or in case
of a spill, use a damp cloth and natural soap. Wipe in
the direction of the grain. Do not use soap containing
detergent or other chemicals. Dry with a soft, clean cloth
to prevent spotting.
It is always recommended to protect any surfaces with
coasters, mousepads, or placemats. Repetitive daily use
or heat can damage the finish.
Always move objects such as flowerpots, vases, etc.
from time to time. Ensure any excess water or dampness
is wiped dry immediately to prevent marking the surface.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Upholsteries & soft furnishings
Do not wash unless clearly indicated on the label
attached to the item. Machine or hand washing (even
at a low temperature) may lighten the colour and shrink
the fabric.
Pilling is the result of excess fibre on the fabric, or from
external sources. This is not a defect but a characteristic
of many textiles.
For our leather items, many of the hides used are left in
their purest form. This means there is little or no surface
treatment, allowing for the unique natural beauty of each
hide to come through.
To keep upholsteries in optimal condition, we
recommend:
• Removing pilling by using an antipilling machine.
• Avoiding placing item in direct sunlight.
• Dusting or removing crumbs by wiping down
upholstery with a clean cloth or soft brush.
Do not rub.
• Avoiding using a vacuum cleaner. If you do use one,
select the lowest suction and use a soft
upholstery attachment.
• Treating spills immediately. Blot up as much of the
spill as possible with a clean, dry, white cloth.
Do not rub.
• Treating stains by using a clean, slightly damp white
cloth, blotting from the outer edge to the centre of
the stain.
• Avoiding chemical products on your upholstery.
• Reviewing the care label or leaflet specific to
your item.
Outdoor
Ethnicraft’s Outdoor collection is designed to adapt well
to a range of environmental conditions. The high density
of teak wood means it is an excellent choice for
outdoor use.
Our teak range comes without any finish or protective
treatment. Over time, it is natural for untreated furniture
to grey due to prolonged sun and rain exposure. This
colour change is purely superficial and does not impact
the strength or quality of the timber.
While no additional treatment is required on your outdoor
teak product, you can choose to apply the following:
• Use a specialised teak cleaning product to remove any
dirt buildup from items.
• To protect against stains and green deposits, you can
use a teak protector. Ensure the timber is completely
dry, with any dust removed, before applying. Allow
24 hours dry time before exposing to moisture.
OUTDOOR UPHOLSTERY & FABRICS
Ethnicraft Outdoor fabrics are water-repellent, UV
resistant, hypoallergenic and maintenance-friendly.
Clean with clear water and a natural soap. Covers are
machine washable up to 30°C/86°F.
