Quick Fix Using Household Items: To remove white heat stains from wood surfaces, you only need four common household items: a steam iron, a clean towel, a paper towel, and a bit of vegetable oil. This method takes just 30 to 60 seconds and can effectively eliminate most white heat stains caused by hot items like mugs or dishes.

Steps to Remove Heat Marks -
Step 1: Cover the stain with a towel and gently run a steam iron over it for a few seconds to allow heat and steam to lift the mark.
Step 2: If the stain begins to reappear, apply a small amount of vegetable oil to a paper towel.
Step 3: Quickly iron over the towel again, then rub the oil into the wood in circular motions to seal and restore the finish.

Why it works: The combination of moist heat and oil helps rehydrate the wood finish and remove cloudy white marks without damaging the surface.

Note: Before applying any cleaning solution to the entire wood surface or affected area, test it on a hidden spot—such as the underside of a table leg—to ensure it doesn’t damage the finish. If the finish remains unaffected, proceed with the steps below.

Steps to Remove Smudges -
Step 1: Mix a few drops of mild dish soap into a bowl of warm water.

Step 2: Dampen a soft cloth or sponge with the soapy solution (do not soak the wood).

Step 3: Gently wipe the smudged surface.

Step 4: Dry the area thoroughly with a clean cloth a few minutes after cleaning.

Velvet is a luxurious and delicate fabric. With the right care, its signature softness and elegant texture can last for years. This guide helps you treat wrinkles, stains, and general wear—without damaging the pile.

Removing Creases & Flattened Pile in Velvet
Before You Start -

• Vacuum the fabric to remove any embedded dust or dirt.
• Never allow water to drip directly onto the velvet.
  

Steps to Remove Wrinkles -

Step 1: Use a handheld steamer (preferred) or the “Steam” function on an iron set to the lowest heat (~300°F).
Step 2: Begin steaming from a distance and slowly move closer—but never closer than 1 inch.

Step 3: Let the steam rise onto the fabric. Do not press the steamer or iron directly onto the velvet.

Step 4: Steam from bottom to top to maximize lift.

Step 5: Gently brush the fabric in the same direction as its natural texture using a soft-bristle brush, microfiber towel, or terry cloth.

Here’s a Tip:
• Restoring the texture is important - Velvet has a soft, directional surface (also known as the "nap"). Brushing the fabric in its natural direction helps revive the plush finish and prevent flattening.
• For stubborn creases, lightly mist a non-bleach wrinkle release spray before steaming.

Cleaning Stains & Spills on Velvet
Velvet is absorbent, so acting quickly can make a big difference when dealing with spills or stains. Follow these steps for safe, effective cleaning without damaging the texture.

Steps to Clean Spills -

Step 1: Blot the affected area immediately using a clean white cloth or paper towel — do not rub, as this can flatten the fabric.

Step 2: Slightly moisten the cloth with lukewarm water if needed and continue blotting gently.

Step 3: For light stains, mix a few drops of dish soap with warm water and whip into suds. Apply only the suds with a soft cloth, dabbing gently.

Step 4: For tougher stains, apply a dry-cleaning solvent (such as Guardsman Fabric Cleaner or Blue Coral Dri-Clean) to a cloth and dab lightly — never directly on the fabric.

Step 5: Let the area air dry fully. You may use a hairdryer on the lowest setting if necessary.

Recommended Products: Scotchgard™ Fabric & Upholstery Protector is safe for velvet when used as directed. Hold the can 6" from the fabric and apply an even coating once per year for best results.

Here’s a Tip:
• Always test any cleaner on a hidden area first to ensure it won’t affect the color or texture.
• Use minimal moisture. Velvet does best with gentle blotting, not soaking.

Natural textures like sheepskin, shearling, and fur add warmth and softness to your space—but they require a little extra care to stay beautiful and fluffy. Use these tips to prevent matting, remove stains, and keep the fibers fresh.

General Maintenance
Sheepskin, shearling, and fur are naturally luxurious, but they need gentle upkeep to stay soft, fluffy, and long-lasting.

Regular Care -

• Brush Often: Use a soft-bristle pet brush to gently fluff and detangle the fibers.
• Vacuum Lightly: Use a vacuum with a nozzle (not rotating) attachment and always go in the direction of the fur.

Air It Out: Regularly expose the piece to fresh air—this helps reduce odors and restore softness. Avoid direct sunlight.

Deep Care & Storage -

• Avoid Moisture: Never store damp sheepskin or fur. Moisture can lead to mold or mildew.
• Storage: Store in a breathable cotton bag, not plastic. Make sure the item is clean and dry before packing it away.
• No Dryer Heat: Never tumble-dry or use a hairdryer. Let it air dry naturally on a flat surface.
  
  

Here’s a Tip:
Use a natural lanolin-based spray conditioner occasionally to restore softness and preserve the texture of the fibers—especially in dry climates.

Cleaning Stains & Spills on Sheepskin, Shearling & Fur
Accidents happen—what matters most is how quickly and gently you respond.

Steps to Clean Spills -

Step 2: Dampen another cloth with cool water and gently blot the area to lift any residue.

Step 3: Allow the piece to air dry naturally, away from heat or direct sunlight.
For deeper stains: Use a specialty sheepskin detergent (look for enzyme-free and lanolin-infused formulas). Lightly dampen a clean cloth with the diluted solution and gently blot the stained area in the direction of the fur.

Recommended Products: You can find trusted sheepskin care products such as Eucalan Fine Fabric Wash or Kookaburra Wash online at Amazon, Walmart, or specialty furniture and bedding stores.

Here’s a Tip:
Always test the cleaner on a hidden area before applying it more broadly. This ensures it won’t damage the texture, color, or finish of your natural sheepskin or fur.

These specialty leathers—often used in rugs, ottomans, and accent upholstery—combine natural texture with visual interest. Unlike traditional leather, these hides retain the animal hair, requiring a distinct care approach to preserve softness and sheen.

General Maintenance

• Vacuum Lightly: Use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment to remove dust and dirt. Always go in the direction of the hair.
• Air It Out: Regularly air the item outside in a shaded area to keep it fresh and odor-free. Avoid prolonged sunlight.

Fluffing & Reshaping Cushions
Over time, cushions can lose their shape or appear sunken. Regular plumping helps restore their structure and comfort.

Steps to Plump Cushions -

Step 1: Remove throws or decorative pillows.

Step 2: If your cushions are removable, rotate and flip them weekly to distribute wear.

Step 3: Plump each cushion by hand—grab the edges and push the filling toward the center.

Step 4: For fixed cushions, use the “Union Jack” method: start at the center of the cushion and smooth it outwards, first horizontally, then vertically, and finally diagonally. This redistributes the filling and helps it regain its natural shape.
Step 5: Finish by gently patting the sides of scatter cushions and decorative pillows using a soft patting motion to bring air back into the filling and restore fullness.

Here’s a Tip:
• For sagging seat cushions, place a firm foam insert inside the cover to restore lift.

Marble is a beautiful but porous material, meaning it easily absorbs liquids and is vulnerable to stains and etching (surface dulling) caused by acids like lemon juice or vinegar. Proper sealing and cleaning help preserve its elegance and protect it from permanent damage.

Sealing Marble to Prevent Stains
You’ll Need -

• Granite Gold Daily Cleaner - a cleaner designed for marble and natural stone
• Microfiber cloths - lint-free, non-abrasive
• Granite or stone sealer - safe for polished, honed and porous finishes (avoid citrus-based or acidic formulas)

Steps to Seal Marble -
Step 1: Thoroughly clean the surface using a natural stone cleaner and let it dry completely.

Step 2: Test the sealer on a small, hidden section of marble and wait 24 hours to ensure it doesn't cause discoloration or film buildup.

Step 3: Using a soft microfiber towel, apply the sealer in thin, even layers across the surface.

Step 4: Let the sealer sit for the dwell time recommended on the product label.

Step 5: Wipe away any excess before it dries to avoid a sticky residue.

Step 6: For more porous marble, apply a second coat after 15–30 minutes, following the same steps.

Step 7: Allow the surface to cure fully before use (usually 24 hours).

Here’s a Tip:
Seal marble countertops and tabletops once a year to maintain protection against everyday spills and splashes.

• If stored long-term, wrap in breathable fabric—never plastic—to prevent trapped humidity.

Seagrass is a thick, rope-like natural fiber with a subtle sheen and a neutral tone. Often used in woven seat surfaces and bench tops, it’s strong yet slightly flexible. However, seagrass is prone to moisture absorption and can develop odors or mildew without proper care.

For Light Cleaning -

• Dust or vacuum using a brush or upholstery attachment.
• Gently wipe with a barely damp microfiber cloth—do not oversaturate.
• Avoid soaking or using spray cleaners directly on the weave.

For Deeper Cleaning -

• Mix warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap.
• Dip a cloth into the solution, wring it out, and gently dab or wipe the surface.
• Use a soft-bristle brush to get between weaves.
• Dry immediately with a clean towel.

For Airing Out & Preventing Odor  -

• Rotate the piece regularly to avoid moisture buildup underneath.
• Allow fresh air circulation—ideal for indoor spaces with windows or occasional sun exposure.
• For persistent odor, try a natural fabric refresher spray (alcohol- and bleach-free).

Over time, seagrass can absorb smells from spills, pets, or the environment. Use this method to refresh the fibers.
Steps to Deodorize Seagrass -
Step 1: Sprinkle a generous layer of baking soda across the surface.
Step2: Let it sit for at least 2–3 hours (or overnight if possible).
Step3: Vacuum thoroughly using a brush head attachment.

Recommended Products:

• Arm & Hammer Pure Baking Soda: A safe, effective way to neutralize odors in seagrass.
• Bissell Upholstery & Furniture Brush Attachment: Helps lift debris and clean between fibers using a vacuum cleaner.
• ECOS Breeze Lemongrass Fabric Refresher & Odor Eliminator: Gentle, non-toxic, and seagrass-safe for odor control.

Here’s a Tip:
• Never soak seagrass—weaves may shrink, warp, or become brittle.
• Avoid heavy use in damp or humid areas (like bathrooms or outdoor patios).
• To freshen naturally, place your seagrass item in filtered sunlight for an hour or two—never direct sun.

Willow and reed are lightweight, natural fibers often used for decorative accent chairs, baskets, and accessory pieces. They're flexible but delicate, making them susceptible to splitting, fraying, or warping without gentle maintenance. Because of their lightness, they're best suited for low-traffic, indoor use.

For Light Cleaning -

• Gently dust with a soft microfiber cloth or use a handheld vacuum with a low-suction upholstery attachment.
• For fine detailing, use a soft detailing brush to remove trapped dirt.
• Avoid getting willow or reed overly damp—moisture weakens the fibers and can cause sagging.

For Deeper Cleaning -

• Fill a small bowl with warm water and mild dish soap.
• Dampen a soft cloth and gently dab the surface—do not scrub or soak.
• Use a soft toothbrush to clean woven joints or textured areas.
• Dry immediately with a clean towel, and let air dry in a shaded, ventilated area.

For Preventing Cracks or Warping -

• Keep willow and reed away from heating vents, fireplaces, or AC units.
• Rotate decorative items periodically to avoid uneven fading or wear.
• Use cushions on chairs to distribute weight and reduce pressure on the weave.

Steps to Repair Small Splits or Frays of Willow or Reed -
Step 1: Apply boiled linseed oil or pure tung oil with a soft cloth.
Step2: Let it absorb for a few hours, then wipe off excess.
Step3: Place in a shaded, humid environment to restore balance.

Recommended Products:

• Hope’s Pure Tung Oil – 16 oz: Nourishes dried-out reeds and helps prevent cracking.
• Bissell Upholstery & Furniture Brush Attachment: Great for safe vacuuming of lightweight fibers.
• Detail Factory Ultra-Soft Detailing Brush: Ideal for light cleaning without damaging delicate weaves.

Here’s a Tip:
• Never store willow or reed furniture in a sealed plastic bag or airtight closet. Trapped humidity can cause mildew and rapid deterioration.
• Instead, store in a fabric furniture bag or breathable cotton sheet to allow airflow.

Synthetic wicker, made from resin or vinyl, mimics the look of natural weave but is specifically designed for outdoor durability. These materials are water-resistant, UV-stable, and low maintenance—but even they require routine care to maintain appearance and flexibility over time.

• Resin is more rigid and textured
• Vinyl is smoother and more flexible

For Light Cleaning -

• Wipe with a damp microfiber cloth to remove surface dust and dirt.
• Use a soft brush or vacuum with an upholstery attachment to clean weave grooves.
• Spot clean with water and mild dish soap.

For Deeper Cleaning -

• Mix warm water with mild dish soap in a spray bottle.
• Spray directly on the wicker surface.
• Scrub gently with a soft nylon brush or sponge.
• Rinse with a low-pressure hose or damp cloth.
• Dry with a towel or let air dry in the shade.

For Preventing Fading & Brittleness -

• Keep synthetic wicker out of direct sunlight for extended periods—UV rays can fade the color over time.
• During off-season months, cover or store furniture in a shaded, dry space.
• Avoid placing hot objects (like grills or fire pits) near vinyl/resin furniture.

If mold or mildew appears due to humidity you can follow the steps below
Steps for Mold & Mildew Removal -
Step 1: Mix 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts warm water.
Step2: Apply the solution using a sponge or spray bottle.
Step3: Let sit for 15 minutes, then scrub with a soft brush.
Step4: Rinse and towel dry.

Here’s a Tip:
• Always rinse off any cleaner residue completely—leftover soap can attract dirt.
• Vinyl tends to become brittle over time in extreme cold—store indoors when possible in winter climates.

Wobbling furniture is often caused by assembly misalignment or uneven floors. Fortunately, a few quick checks and adjustments can help stabilize the piece.

Steps to Fix Uneven Legs or Wobbling -
Step 1: Double-check the leg labels—legs marked “B” may include sub-labels like B1, B2, etc. Make sure each leg is installed in the correct position based on the underside label or instruction guide.
Step 2: Loosen all bolts halfway before making any adjustments. This allows the frame to settle naturally when upright.
Step 3: Place the furniture upright on a flat surface (a floor or table). Gently press down on each corner to help the legs level out.

Step 4: Once leveled, tighten each bolt fully, alternating between opposite corners for balance.

Step 5: Look underneath the legs and check for adjustable glides or foot levelers -
• If present, rotate to raise or lower the leg for fine-tuning.
• If your legs do not have adjustable tips, place a felt pad or wedge under the shorter leg to help balance it.

Here’s a Tip:
• Always assemble furniture on a flat surface—like hardwood or tile—not carpet.
• If your floor is uneven, add a felt pad or shim under the shorter leg until the wobble disappears.

Uneven cabinet doors can shift during transit or assembly. TOV’s concealed European-style hinges offer built-in adjustability, allowing you to fine-tune spacing and alignment without removing the doors.

Steps to Adjust Cabinet Hinges or Uneven Doors -
Step 1: Identify which adjustment is needed:

• Too far apart or overlapping? → Side-to-side
• Sticking out or sitting too deep? → Depth
• Misaligned vertically? → Height

Step 2: Open the cabinet and locate the adjustment screws on the hinge hardware.
Step 3: Use a standard Phillips screwdriver to adjust as needed:

• Side-to-Side Gap: Turn the screw on the hinge arm to move the door left or right.
• Depth (In/Out): Use the front screw to pull the door closer or push it further from the cabinet frame.
• Vertical Position (Up/Down): Loosen the mounting plate screws on the backplate and gently move the door up or down before tightening again.

Step 4: Make small turns and test the door after each adjustment. Repeat as needed until gaps are even and doors are flush.

Here’s a Tip:
• Adjust one door at a time to avoid confusing changes.
• Use painter’s tape to mark hinge positions before making major changes—this helps you return to the original position if needed.
• If a door won’t stay closed, check for loose screws or twisted hinges and tighten/realign accordingly.

A stable sleep setup starts with secure bed slats. If your slats shift or feel unstable, these steps will help you reinforce them using TOV’s Easy KD Roll-Out Slat System.

How the System Works: TOV beds use a roll-out system where slats are pre-connected via nylon straps and secured by friction, weight, and—if needed—light hardware.

Steps to Stabilize Bed Slats -
Step 1: Ensure the slats are laid out evenly across the bed frame - Make sure the nylon strap is flat and not twisted between slats.

Step 2: Double-check that each slat’s end peg fits securely into the corresponding hole or groove in the bed frame - Press down gently to seat the slats properly.

Step 3: Add the mattress to weigh the system down - The mattress weight will help keep the slats in place through friction.

Step 4: For extra stability, use small wood screws to secure the outermost slats.


Note: Drill pilot holes before screwing into the bed frame to avoid wood splitting.

Here’s a Tip:
• If your bed has center support beams, make sure they are also properly installed and level before placing the slats.
• Slats should never feel bouncy or loose under pressure—tightening even 2 or 3 key slats can greatly improve stability.
