General care

Thank you for allowing Olive Grove Furniture to help make your house a home.

At Olive Grove Furniture we value quality and craftsmanship, which is why we work so hard to make sure everything is fully assembled, and quality checked before leaving our warehouse. These Product Care Guides has been designed to assist you in caring for your Olive Grove Furniture purchase. Please take the time to read through the guides carefully. Remember to store this information in a safe space for future reference. Below are some general care tips to help ensure your furniture lasts for years to come:

DO’s

  • Use floor protectors on the base of your furniture (especially for tables & chairs), to protect your flooring from scratches and other damage
  • Always rotate and flip lounge seating cushions regularly to even the wear and to protect from fading
  • Always use coasters, tablecloths, table runners and place mats to protect surfaces from damage and stains
  • All surfaces, materials and finishes need to be maintained with the appropriate care products. See the relevant care instructions further down for more detail
  • Only ever use your furniture for its intended purpose, and in its intended location within your home

DON’Ts

  • Do not drag furniture, always lift, and then move
  • Do not place furniture in direct sunlight. It will cause fading and can cause materials to crack or warp. This includes sunlight through a window
  • Do not sit or rest on the arms of a chair or lounge – they are not designed to support excessive weight
  • Do not allow pets to sit or jump on your furniture
  • Do not place furniture close to heating or air-conditioning vents as it can cause damage and excessive wear
  • Do not stand on stools or chairs – they are not designed to take the full weight of a person
