Offering perfect mixes of style and comfort, Power of Home presents unique and luxurious products for the bedroom, dining room, living room, home theater and office. These exquisite collections feature versatile pieces that can become the highlight of any home. However, it is important to always remember that when you put fine furniture into your home or office, you need to give it the care it deserves. Regular attention and maintenance of fine furniture can ensure its beauty for years to come.

FURNITURE PRODUCT CARE

It is important to keep the home or office in which your furniture is placed properly humidified. Wood prefers a reasonable level of temperature and humidity (around 72 degrees with 40 percent humidity). Wood should not sit near heating or air conditioning registers. These remove necessary moisture from your furniture and dry it out, causing additional cracks or splits.

Wood is a natural product. Sun bleaching will occur when wood furniture is exposed to sunlight. This will cause darker finishes to lighten and sometimes cause lighter finishes to darken. For this reason, try to avoid placing furniture in direct sunlight and rearrange accessories from time to time to prevent spot bleaching.

PROTECT AGAINST SPILLS & STAINS

Spills should be blotted immediately rather than rubbed or wiped. Time is of the essence when dealing with spills and stains on wooden furniture. For food type spills, use a cloth or sponge which has been dampened in mild, soapy water (no chemicals). Articles such as glasses, hot cups and dishes should have coasters or felt type pads on them. Beware of some felt pads that have a pre‐glued side as some of these adhesives contain chemicals that can damage the wood finish. Always remember to lift objects rather than sliding them across the finish.

LEATHER & UPHOLSTERY CARE

It is important to remember that due to its genuine features, leather has natural wrinkles as well as color and texture variations. Leather surfaces on beds, sofas or chairs should be dusted regularly with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth ‐ avoid using chemical cleaners. Also, and most importantly, remember to never rub a stain on leather or fabric. Always dab it out with a slightly damp cloth.

Suede surfaces should only be cleaned with a dry, stiff brush. Exposure to liquid spills should be avoided since suede cannot be washed or cleaned as easy as leather. Frequent vacuuming or light brushing is recommended in regards to fabric and upholstery items. Cushions and pillows should be turned on a weekly basis. Down‐filled cushions should be brushed rather than vacuumed. Spot clean, using a mild water‐free solvent or dry cleaning product. The use of steam or water‐based cleaners may cause excessive shrinking or staining.

MARBLE & CRYSTAL STONE CARE

Power of Home’s exclusive marble and crystal stone tables are expertly sealed with a special laminate protection. This select process helps to prevent scratches, spills and stains from getting directly to the marble itself. Use of placemats and covers is highly recommended and extremely necessary for hotter objects.

Remember to treat your marble or crystal stone top like you would treat glass. Regular glass cleaners work well for everyday cleaning and shining. Scratches and wear & tear are normal, as is with any type of furniture. However, you can add life and beauty by regularly polishing, and of course, avoiding the use of abrasive cleaners.
