Décor & Accessories Care Guide

Décor & Accessories Care Guide

With the right care, your décor will maintain its beauty and function for years to come. Please refer to our guide for easy cleaning and maintenance tips tailored to each material.

Glassware

Each product is hand-made which may result in colour and shape variations. These small variations add to the charm, tactile look and feel of each item.

  • Dust regularly with a clean dry cloth.
  • Remove stubborn dirt and greasy marks with a glass-cleaner and a damp cloth or leather shammy, and dry with a clean cloth.
  • The use of furniture polish or spray is not necessary or recommended.
  • Never use abrasive cleaning agents as these can scratch and damage the glass surface.
  • To prevent glassware from chipping, handle it carefully and be mindful of sudden temperature changes.

Ceramics

Each of our ceramic pieces is meticulously handcrafted, resulting in unique variations in color, shape, and texture. These subtle differences are intentional and add depth, character, and individuality to each item, making them truly one-of-a-kind.

  • Clean your ceramics as usual by applying a mild detergent with a sponge, then rinse thoroughly with tap water. Avoid using abrasive scrubs, as they can scratch the surface.
  • Our ceramic serving ware is dishwasher and microwave-safe.
  • To prevent your ceramics from chipping, handle them with care, avoid sudden temperature changes and use protective surfaces like placemats.

Mirrors

Each of our mirrors is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans, resulting in unique variations in color, shape, and texture. These subtle differences are inherent to the handmade process and enhance the distinctiveness of each piece, adding to its individual charm and character.

  • Pre-clean the mirror with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or marks.
  • Create a cleansing mixture using one part water and one part white or distilled vinegar.
  • Dip newspaper, paper towels or a microfibre cloth into your vinegar mixture then rub it across the mirror using slow circles.
  • Once clean, use dry newspaper or paper towels to polish the glass.

Wall Art

Each piece of our wall art is handcrafted, resulting in unique variations in color, texture, and detail. These subtle differences enhance the character of every artwork, making each one a distinctive and expressive addition to your space.

  • Do not use any chemicals or water on the canvas as this may damage the finish. 
  • Dry-dust oil paintings and prints regularly with a feather duster or microfibre cloth.
  • Clean the glass by spraying cleaner onto a soft cloth before wiping the glass. This helps prevent liquids from seeping into the frame which can cause colours to bleed and paper buckle. 
  • Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean your frame. Harsh chemicals like ammonia, alcohol and certain cleaners can damage fine wood, lacquer and other frame finishes.  
  • Avoid hanging framed wall art in direct sunlight or in settings that are very humid as these can cause your artwork to fade or ripple

Rugs

Whether you prefer a classic, modern, or natural aesthetic, our wide range of rugs can help you transform any room, and even an outdoor area, into a stylish space you’ll love.

General care

  • Professional dry clean only (except for outdoor rugs).
  • Vacuum weekly. 
  • Rug pads are recommended to extend the rugs life and protect the surface beneath them. 
  • Reverse roll your carpet to prevent the corners from curling up. 
  • Use furniture pads under heavy items to prevent dents and protect the floor. 
  • Avoid heeled shoes on loose weave carpets to prevent pulls.
  • Pile shedding is a normal characteristic of quality area rugs, particularly with wool and other natural fibres.  
  • Protecting your rugs with Coriguard will prevent spills from becoming stains. 

Specialised Care Instructions

For Rugs Made From

Wool Acrylic
Rayon Polyacrylic
Cotton Modacrylic
Shag Polyester
Nylon Polypropylene
Faux Silk
  • Clean spills immediately by blotting with a clean sponge or cloth.
For Rugs Made From

Jute
Sisal 

  • Do not steam clean or wet shampoo your jute rug. Plant fibres are highly absorbent, so they are subject to shrinking and puckering when exposed to liquids or excessive dampness.    
  • Dry wet spills immediately with a fan or hair dryer.    
For Rugs Made From

Viscose
Bamboo-Extruded Silk-Like Fibres 

  • Avoid pulling yarn knots out of the surface pile.  
  • For spills, blot the affected area with a white paper towel or a clean white terrycloth towel. Moisture will weaken the fibre and rubbing could then cause breaking or damage.  
  • After blotting away stains, gently groom the rug by brushing the fibres in the direction of the pile using a soft brush. This will help restore the texture, though the pile may appear slightly flatter and more reflective afterwards. 
  • Once the stained area is dry, brush the fibres to regain the original texture.

Outdoor rugs

  • Vacuum regularly.
  • Wash with a mild dish detergent and water solution before rinsing with a hose or power washer.  

Scatter Cushions

  • Vacuum regularly. 
  • Wash with a mild dish detergent and water solution before rinsing with a hose or power washer. 
Washing Scatter Covers

  • Cold water wash or handwash, unless otherwise instructed.
Washing Feather & Hollow-Fibre Inners

  • Cold water wash only. Using warm or hot water may cause the fabric to shrink.  
  • Use a gentle soap without additives. 
  • Fabric softener isn’t recommended because it can coat the down and feathers and reduce fluffiness. 
  • Use the fastest spin speed to remove as much water as possible. 
  • Add an extra rinse cycle to make sure all the soap has been removed.
Drying Feather & Hollow-Fibre Inners

  • Keep the temperature low as warmer temperatures can cause the fabric to shrink.  
  • Be patient with your drying time. It can take multiple cycles depending on your machines and it’s important to get your pillow completely dry. Go low and slow. 
  • If clumping or odour occurs, these are signs that your pillow is not dry yet. You want it to be completely dry to prevent mould. 
  • Hand fluff your pillows in between each cycle. The pillows may still be damp inside even though they feel dry to the touch. It’s always better to err on the side of more drying time than less. 
  • Optional: Add 1 to 3 clean tennis balls or dryer balls to speed up your drying time. You could also add a dryer sheet to freshen your pillows.  

Throws

Each of our throws is handcrafted, resulting in slight variations in color, weave, and texture. These unique details add warmth, character, and a beautifully tactile feel to every piece.

  • Follow the instructions on your wash care label carefully. 
  • Do not launder any dry clean only throws.  
  • Cold wash separately on a delicate cycle. 
  • Use a mild detergent – the less the better. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. 
  • For an extra fluffy throw add white spirit vinegar to the final rinse.  
  • Do not iron. 

Lighting

Each of our lighting pieces and pennants is carefully handcrafted, resulting in unique variations in color, shape, and texture. These subtle differences enhance their charm, adding character and warmth to any space.

  • Regular cleaning keeps dust and debris from building up, ensuring you can clean with a gentle hand.
  • Our brass and copper bases are lacquered to prevent tarnishing so using a brass cleaner is not necessary. To maintain the finish, use a clean, soft cloth to wipe your lamp.
  • Regular cleaning keeps dust and debris from building up, ensuring you can clean with a gentle hand.
  • Clean the metal components of your lighting with a pair of lint-free cloths. The first should cleanse using a solution of water and just a few drops of liquid soap. The other should be soaked in the water and wrung out until just slightly damp and used to wipe away the soap solution.
  • To remove dust from a lampshade, try using a microfibre cloth or lint roller first. If that’s not successful, carefully use a vacuum cleaner with an upholstery attachment to remove stubborn dust or dust caught in the folds of a pleated shade.
  • To spot-clean fabric shades, dampen a soft cloth with diluted liquid soap and carefully wipe it down. Then, follow up with a cloth dampened only in water to help rinse the soap out of the fabric.
