To ensure your Fleur Studios pieces stay with you for years to come, please take the time to read this care guide. Following these instructions will help to maintain the appearance and quality of your heirloom pieces, ensuring longevity of each material.

Maintenance & Care

Wipe up spills immediately with a clean microfibre cloth.

Always use a drink coaster and placemats.

Take care when moving the piece or placing down.

Apply protective pads to the undersides of items being displayed on the stone surfaces to avoid scratching.

Avoid sudden hot/cold changes such as hot pans being placed directly on stone.

Cleaning

Avoid using acidic cleaners or any other type of harsh chemicals on the surface. We have tested and recommend the following:

Glitz Stone and Benchtop Cleaner - This is a great everyday affordable spray cleanser that removes oils, grime etc.

AQUA MIX Aquashield Cleaner & Resealer

Sealing

Our marble pieces aren't sealed. If you would like to seal the surface, we recommend using Aqua Mix Sealer’s Choice Gold-Rapid Cure which is a water-based, low VOC sealer lasting up to 15 years.

Timber is a natural material that will characterise over time, responding to its environment and everyday use. Small splits, cracks, or fine lines may develop - particularly at joins - as the timber expands and contracts with changing conditions. These are not faults, but part of the material’s natural beauty and the unique character of each piece. 

To help minimise movement in the timber, avoid placing your furniture close to fireplaces, in direct sunlight, in heavily air-conditioned spaces or directly over underfloor heating.

We recommend the following to help protect the surface and preserve the finish:

Maintenance & Care

Always use placemats, tablecloths and drink coasters.

Avoid placing hot items directly onto the surface.

Avoid contact with oils, butter and grease. Clean any spills immediately.

Apply protective pads to the underside of decorative objects to help prevent scratching.

Cleaning

Clean the surface frequently with a clean damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Do not use abrasive cleaners or chemicals. A natural hard wax (clear matte finish) can be applied every 12 months to help retain the showroom finish.

Caring for Your Elio Leather Dining Chair

The Elio Dining Chair features 100% full-grain semi-aniline leather, designed to age beautifully and naturally with you over time. Leather is a natural material and slight variations in texture, tone or small unique markings are features that certify its quality.

Regular Care

For best upkeep, we suggest regular cleaning with a soft, dry cloth to remove residual dust and prevent buildup. Avoid using brushes, as bristles can damage the leather. Keep your chair away from direct sunlight and heat sources to protect the leather from fading or losing its soft, supple feel over time.

Spills & Spot Cleaning

Spills are inevitable, but fresh spills are always easier to address than old ones. Here's our care guide:

For liquid spills: Blot immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth. Most liquids will initially be repelled by the leather, but if left standing, they will eventually absorb.

For butter, oil, or grease: Wipe gently with a clean, dry cloth.

For stubborn stains: Use a cloth lightly dampened with warm water to blot the stain. If needed, mix a small amount of mild soap with water, blot gently to release the stain, then blot again with a dry cloth. Avoid scrubbing, as this can damage the leather.

Do not use harsh cleaners, solvents, detergents, abrasives, bleach, or household cleaners - these can strip the protective finish from the leather.
