Regency House items are meticulously created with the need for minimum maintenance in mind. Using only the highest quality timbers and raw material, we craft heirloom pieces by hand with special attention to finish details.

Recommended Item Care Instructions:

Wood Furniture

Remember that wood is a natural material that is susceptible to climate and the elements, such as humidity.

Sunlight may slightly darken your wood furniture.

The care of wood furniture varies according to the wood type, finish and function of the piece. Consult your sales associate for more specific care guidelines.

Dust with a dry, soft cloth.

Never use harsh chemicals or abrasives on any finish.

Always use coasters and keep heat from direct contact with your wood surfaces.

Use felt pads on any surface that comes in direct contact with the wood. Avoid certain materials, like rubber, which might react with your finish.

***To insure the life of your Dining Table, Regency House recommends the use of a quality "Protective Dining Table Pad" to protect against scratches, spills, heat, dents, and more.

Metal Furniture Care

Dust with dry, soft cloth.

Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Always use coasters.

Metal will rust if the finish is scratched or if your furniture is exposed to excessive humidity, particularly in salt water locations.

Marble / Granite Furniture Care and Instructions

1) Apply a marble sealer. This will help lower the absorption of liquids. We recommend Masterpiece Marble Care Sealer.
2) Apply a buffable marble wax as a sacrificial barrier. This helps to protect from daily wear and tear. Weekly applications give best results.
3) Do not allow water spots to dry on fixture. Dry them with a clean soft cloth.
4) To clean stains or spots we recommend you call a local marble maintenance repair company. See your Yellow Pages Directory.
5) Never use cleaners with abrasives, soft scrub, Clorox or Drano type products on these finishes.

MARBLE / GRANITE PRODUCT AWARENESS:
Polished stone not only looks beautiful, it is hard and durable. All marble and granite has an absorption factor. Tap water contains chemicals (chlorine, fluoride, purifiers) minerals and salts which penetrate the marble and cause discoloration. Spills of any kind will leave permanent stains.

Over time, normal wear and tear can reduce a high polish to a dull finish. Citric acid (orange juice, wine, vinegar, etc.) when spilled, may also etch or dull the surface.

To guarantee its long-lasting beauty, a preventative maintenance program is needed. Please follow our easy maintenance instructions.

We recommend Masterpiece Marble Care Products. Repolishing to bring back the original luster of stone is best left to a professional.

To keep your Furniture beautiful: KEEP THEM CLEAN AND DRY.

 

Upholstered Furniture

Avoid placing your furniture in direct sunlight. All fabric will fade over time. Darker colors may fade dramatically in direct sunlight.

Rotate cushions and pillows weekly to distribute wear.

Vacuum upholstery weekly (using the upholstery attachment and crevice tool for your vacuum) to prevent permanent fabric soiling and abrasions from crumbs, dust, etc.

Use of armcaps is recommended.

Periodic cleaning by a professional upholstery cleaning service is recommended (including furniture base beneath slipcovers). Annual cleaning is suggested, but this may vary depending on use.

Do not leave spills unattended.

Always blot spills immediately with a clean, absorbent white cloth.

In some cases, spot cleaning can cause a ring or fading. It is best to have the entire piece or cushion casing cleaned by a professional upholstery cleaning service to ensure uniform color.

To prevent possible “bleeding” of ink onto fabric, do not leave newspapers or other printed materials lying on upholstery.

To prevent overspray, take special care when using household chemicals and commercial products near your upholstery.

The overall dimensions of our upholstered pieces may vary slightly due to the natural loft of padding and cushion fill. 

Standard Cleaning Codes
The codes below are industry standard cleaning codes. They indicate the correct cleaning method based on fabric content.

To determine what type of cleaning code is recommended for your upholstery, please ask your sales associate or refer to the tag on the decking of your new upholstery.

W:Water-based cleaning agents or foam may be used. Never use tap water. Use distilled water, as tap water contains minerals that may cause rings or fading.

S:Only mild, water-free cleaning solvents should be used. Never use water. Do not dry clean in parts.

SW:Water-based cleaning agents, foam or mild water-free cleaning solvents may be used. Never use tap water. Use distilled water, as tap water contains minerals that may cause rings or fading.

X:Clean only by vacuuming or light brushing to remove overall soil. Never use water, foam or liquid cleaning agents.

Note: For pre-washed fabrics upholstered onto frame, use S cleaning code.

Spot Cleaning

• Use a professional upholstery cleaning service for general soil.
• If attempting to spot clean your upholstery, use the fabric code to determine the correct type of product to use. Use caution as spot cleaning can cause a ring or fading.
• Always pre-test cleaning agent in a small, inconspicuous area before proceeding.
• When cleaning a spill, blot immediately to remove spilled material. Use a clean white cloth.
• Clean spots or stains from the outside to the middle of the affected area to prevent rings.
• Pile fabrics may require brushing with a non-metallic, stiff bristle brush to restore appearance.
• Never rub or scrub a spill.
• Never use strong chemicals or detergents.

Leather

The depth and beauty of Regency House leather upholstery distinguish each upholstered item. Our full-grain, aniline-dyed leather is entirely handcrafted using Italian developed techniques that are one of a kind. Aniline-dyed leather enriches the natural surface markings of each individual hide and exposes slight color variations that make each item unique, unlike painted finishes that simply coat the surface. Our leather, which is naturally distressed, revealing individual character, is then waxed and oiled, to create a supple, durable, and inviting texture. Due to the care taken in every step of each finished item, all of our leather furnishings will grow richer with their own characteristics over the time they spend in your home.

• To prevent fading, avoid exposure to direct sunlight or heat.
• Plump cushions regularly to distribute wear.
• Simply dust and vacuum furniture for regular cleaning and maintenance. The leather is already permanently preserved in the tanning process.
• Do not use commercial cleaners or conditioners; they can damage and/or streak the leather.
• Wipe up spills immediately. If necessary, use clear, lukewarm water and gently wipe the entire area where the spill occurred, i.e., entire seat cushion or arm. Air dry.
• Stubborn stains can be washed with a mild solution of non-perfumed, non-colored soap and clear, lukewarm water. Rinse and wipe well. Air dry.
• Butter, oil or grease spills should be wiped with a clean, dry cloth. Spot should dissipate into the leather in a short period of time.
