Protect Your Investment. Love It Longer.

At Brooks Furniture & Mattress, we believe your home should be filled with pieces you love—and we want them to last for years to come. That’s why we’re proud to offer guidance and resources to help you properly care for your furniture and mattresses, ensuring they stay beautiful, comfortable, and functional.

Upholstery Care

• Vacuum Weekly: Use a brush attachment to remove dust and debris from the surface and in crevices.
• Blot Spills Immediately: Use a clean, dry cloth to dab (not rub) any accidental spills.
• Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Only use fabric-safe, manufacturer-approved cleaners when necessary.
• Rotate Cushions: Flip and rotate seat and back cushions regularly to ensure even wear and extend the life of your furniture.

Wood Furniture Care

• Dust Frequently: Use a soft, dry cloth or microfiber towel to prevent buildup.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure can fade finishes and cause warping.
• Clean Gently: Use a damp cloth with mild soap when necessary, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Use Coasters & Pads: Protect surfaces from hot dishes, moisture, and scratches with coasters and table pads.

Leather Furniture Care

• Wipe Down Monthly: Use a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust.
• Condition Occasionally: Apply a leather conditioner as recommended by the manufacturer to prevent drying or cracking.
• Keep Away from Heat Sources: Avoid placing leather furniture near radiators or heating vents.

Mattress Care

• Use a Mattress Protector: A high-quality protector helps shield against moisture, allergens, and dust mites.
• Rotate Every 3–6 Months: Promote even wear and extend comfort and support.
• Allow for Proper Support: Use a quality bed frame or foundation designed to support your mattress.

General Tips

• Lift, Don’t Drag: When moving furniture, lift it to avoid stress on joints and legs.
• Maintain Humidity Levels: Dry or overly humid air can affect wood and upholstery. Aim for a consistent environment.
• Follow Manufacturer Guidelines: When in doubt, consult the care instructions that came with your purchase or contact our team for help.
