Why should I read this guide?

furniture, prevent damage to the product during
normal use, identify damage caused by wear and
tear or abuse, and significantly reduce the risk of

How do I ensure good furniture
care & maintenance?
There are a few basic principles, which will help
ensure excellent service from furniture designed for
use in a commercial application:
• Check the furniture upon delivery at the point of
use. Make sure that all of the parts have arrived
in good condition and the product is assembled
correctly. It is wise to obtain the assistance
of a professional installation crew to help with
this task and to conduct a post delivery check
shortly after the furniture has been installed and
placed in use. Immediately report any issues
that are observed from these checks and remove
from use any product that does not seem to
work properly or meet the specification for that
product.
Establish a care and maintenance procedure,
•
which has daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and
annual check steps clearly documented for
all members of staff who are responsible for
regular cleaning and maintenance. The daily
steps can be as simple as a visual check during

Care and Maintenance Guide
daily cleaning. A small maintenance item that is
attended to in a timely manner will prevent more
significant damage or personal injury, which may
result if the issue is ignored.
Establish clear accountability and a sign off
process, which documents the successful
completion of the tasks assigned to
management and staff, and records the activity,
the date, and location where these tasks were
completed.
Maintain good quality, date stamped records,
and checklists of all care, cleaning, and
maintenance activity, as this helps to avoid
missing an important step and may be vital
in the event of a warranty claim or a product
liability claim.
Immediately remove from service any item
which appears unserviceable or which may
result in further damage to the item itself or
other property.
Use only the manufacturer's recommended
parts and equipment for repairs or maintenance,
use only the manufacturer's recommended
equipment to move furniture.
Ensure that the product is only used for the
purpose intended and is not subject to abuse.
Check that the furniture has been placed on a
level, stable, and smooth floor surface. On
many occasions, what appears to be a defect
with the furniture is actually the result of good
quality furniture being placed on a poor quality,
uneven, or unstable floor surface. Adjustable
glides may help level the furniture in certain
situations but can never compensate for a floor,
which is in bad condition.
Many furniture surface materials such as wood
and metal finishes, veneers, laminates, wood
edges, plastics, etc will be subject to color
fading and physical deterioration when exposed
to sunlight or artificial UV sources. You should
not use or store furniture in these conditions
unless it has been specified for such use.
