Moisture — The timber parts of our furniture are finished with a high-tech, hardwearing lacquer that can easily handle the occasional spill. Despite this advanced protection, long-term exposure to excessive moisture – for example in a damp environment – may cause problems. To avoid this always place your Zuster items in a dry location.

Water — Do not leave water or liquid sitting on the timber surface for any length of time. As with moisture, always clean up liquid spills immediately to ensure the liquid does not weaken the surface finish. Do not leave pot plants directly on the timber surface, as additional water can seep into the timber finish.

Coasters — Always use coasters and placemats when placing hot and cold cups, saucers and plates onto the timber or marble surface. Do not drag boxes or heavy objects across the timber surface, as the protective finish may scratch.

Moving furniture — Lift our furniture from the corners whenever possible. When lifting our beds, never lift using the side rails as they could separate from the bedhead and foot. Please take care when moving your Zuster furniture to avoid scraping or knocking against walls, floors or fixtures. We suggest that you never move furniture alone, and when you do move items, always bend from your knees – not with your back.

Heat — Avoid placing hot dishes or cups directly on Zuster furniture as the heat can mark timber surfaces. Instead we recommend always using heat resistant placemats or coasters. We also recommend you move these periodically to avoid ‘shadows’ forming beneath them due to the bleaching eect that prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause.

Sunlight — Zuster furniture is finished with an innovative ultra violet light protector that greatly reduces discolouration that can occur from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. However to avoid any problems we recommend always keeping our furniture out of direct sunlight. As with any piece of fine furniture, our products are susceptible to extremes of temperature, so please keep your Zuster items away from heating or cooling vents, gas, oil or electrical heaters, fire places or hot electrical appliances such as dryers, kettles or washing machines.

High quality timber is a key part of many of our pieces. To keep it looking immaculate we recommend using Zuster microfibre cloths (or similar) as follows:
1. Wipe down with the charcoal Zuster microfibre cloth, dampened with slightly soapy water.
2. Dry with the white Zuster microfibre cloth. Some popular cleaning products contain silicone or ammonia; avoid these as they can soften our timber’s special coating. Over time this can give it a cloudy appearance, concealing the beautiful grain of our wood.

Fabric — Gently vacuum all your Zuster furniture fabrics on a regular basis to remove dust and keep them looking gorgeous.

Leather — As well as being tactile and appealing, leather is also incredibly durable, so a gentle wipe down with a clean, damp cloth should take care of most marks. For serious stains or to repair damage, speak to a leather repair specialist.

Marble is a naturally beautiful form of limestone. Like all limestone it’s slightly porous, so wipe up spills immediately and ensure no liquids are left to sit on marble for any length of time. That’s particularly true of liquids such as coffee or red wine.
