How do I care for leather furniture?
Our quality leather furniture is easy to maintain and requires minimal effort to keep it looking beautiful. Minor scratches, small punctures, and tears can often be repaired, making your leather purchase a smart investment. Here are some tips to help you enjoy your new leather furniture for years to come.
-
Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dirt.
-
For routine cleaning, wipe with a lightly damp cloth; if needed, use a mild diluted soap to blot the spot, then wipe with clean water and dry immediately. Avoid scrubbing.
-
Wipe spills promptly to help prevent staining. Be mindful that indigo dye from denim can transfer onto light leathers.
-
Keep out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources; color may fade or dry out with prolonged exposure.
-
Avoid chemical cleaners, polishes, detergents, abrasive pads, or sharp tools that can damage the finish.
-
Fluff and rotate cushions regularly to help maintain their shape.
-
On seating that isn’t reversible/rotatable or has fixed back cushions, rotate seating choices so a “favorite spot” doesn’t develop pronounced wear.
-
Move furniture carefully—lift rather than drag to protect both the frame and your flooring.
-
For “vintage” or wax-finished leathers: a light wax bloom may appear as a gray film when first unboxed; simply buff with a dry cloth to restore luster. Conditioning products are generally unnecessary; consult a leather-care professional if deeper cleaning is required.
How do I care for upholstered furniture?
The quality upholstered furniture you purchase from Kasala should bring you years of comfort. Like clothing, upholstery has specific cleaning needs. Here are some guidelines that will increase the useful life of your new piece.
-
Establish a weekly routine: vacuum with a soft brush or lightly brush to prevent the buildup of soil, dust, and grime.
-
Reverse and rotate seats, back cushions, and pillows; pick up, shake, and fluff to redistribute the fill. On seating that isn’t reversible or has fixed back cushions, rotate where people sit so a “favorite spot” doesn’t show pronounced wear.
-
Give immediate attention to spots: blot (don’t rub) with clear liquid soap mixed with water, then dry immediately with a hair dryer on a cool/low setting at a distance to help prevent water marks.
-
Placing upholstery in direct sunlight will cause it to fade; keep away from heat sources to avoid discoloration.
-
Pilling is not considered a defect; remove pills with a fabric shaver, especially during the first few months.
-
For overall cleaning of your upholstery, we recommend cleaning by a professional furniture-cleaning service.
-
Cleaning codes (see your sales receipt):
W or A — Water-based cleaning agents or foam can be used for spot cleaning.
S, B, F, or P — Only mild, pure water-free dry-cleaning solvents can be used for spot cleaning.

-
Always pretest a small, inconspicuous area before attempting any cleaning. If a manufacturer's legend differs, follow their guidance.
How do I care for wood furniture?
We want you to enjoy your new wood furniture from Kasala for years to come. Here are some simple tips on how to keep your wood furniture looking its best.
-
Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth, following the grain to avoid fine scratches.
-
For routine cleaning, wipe with a lightly damp microfiber cloth; if needed, use a mild diluted soap, then wipe with clean water and dry completely. Avoid scrubbing.
-
Wipe spills immediately to prevent moisture rings or clouding. White spots from water may fade as the surface dries.
-
Use coasters, placemats, and trivets; place felt under decorative items to protect the surface.
-
Avoid placing rubber-based objects on wood surfaces as they could damage the finish; remember to rotate your accessories regularly to avoid surface spotting.
-
Keep out of direct sunlight and away from vents or heat sources; expect gradual color change as part of natural aging.
-
Maintain consistent humidity; avoid very dry or very humid locations.
-
Avoid abrasive pads, harsh chemicals, bleach, ammonia, and silicone polishes. For oiled or waxed finishes, apply sparingly and test a small area first or consult a wood-care professional.
How do I care for ceramic?
Ceramic is durable, heat-resistant, and easy to maintain. With simple, regular care, you can preserve its beauty for years to come.
-
Wipe with a clean microfiber cloth and a mild, diluted detergent to remove dust, grease, or spills. Substances such as wine, coffee, oils, and vinegar can be easily cleaned away.
-
Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the surface.
-
Use coasters, placemats, and trivets; place felt under decorative items to protect the surface.
-
While ceramic is weather-resistant, check your product details for any other materials on your piece that may require different care.
-
Avoid placing heavy weight on unsupported edges; do not sit or stand on ceramic surfaces.
-
Always move the piece with two people, lifting by the supporting structure rather than the ceramic surface.
How do I care for natural stone?
Natural stone is one-of-a-kind by design. With mindful, simple care, it will age gracefully and retain its character for years to come.
-
Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove grit and prevent abrasion.
-
For routine cleaning, wipe with a lightly damp microfiber cloth and a pH-neutral stone cleaner or mild diluted detergent; dry the surface completely after cleaning.
-
Use coasters, placemats, and trivets; place felt under decorative items to protect the surface. Avoid placing hot items or wet glasses directly on the surface.
-
Wipe spills immediately—especially wine, coffee, tea, citrus, vinegar, tomato, and oils—to prevent etching and stains.
-
Avoid abrasive pads, scrubbing powders, bleach, ammonia, or acidic/alkaline cleaners that can etch or dull the finish.
-
Honed or unsealed stone will show water rings and stains more readily; consider professional sealing if appropriate for your home and usage.
-
Some designs include hand-worked or textured edges that may show natural pits and fissures; handle with care and expect variation as part of the material’s character.
-
Do not drag objects across the surface; lift and place to avoid scratches and chipping.
-
If you’re unsure of your stone type or finish, or before applying any waxes or sealers, test a small inconspicuous area first and consult a qualified stone care professional.
How do I care for tempered glass?
Tempered glass offers a sleek, durable surface for everyday use. With a light touch and a few easy routines, you’ll keep it looking its best.
-
Clean with a soft microfiber cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive pads, powders, or scouring creams.
-
Wipe spills and greasy residues promptly to prevent buildup and haze.
-
Use coasters, placemats, and trivets; place felt under decorative items to protect the surface. Avoid placing hot items or wet glasses directly on the surface to reduce the risk of thermal shock, rings, or haze.
-
Prevent thermal shock: avoid sudden extreme temperature changes and don’t place very hot items directly on the surface.
-
Handle with care to avoid impact on edges and corners. Do not stand, sit, or apply heavy concentrated loads on the glass; always move the piece by its frame with two people.
-
Understanding tempered glass: it is 4–5× stronger than standard glass and, if it fails, is designed to crumble into small particles. Rare “delayed” breakage can occur if previously damaged or stressed—this behavior is inherent to tempered glass.
How do I care for metal?
Metal finishes offer clean lines and lasting strength. Simple care helps preserve the finish and keeps the look crisp.
-
Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dirt.
-
Wipe spills or condensation immediately and dry thoroughly.
-
Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can scratch or dull the finish.
-
Iron or steel frames may rust if the finish is scratched or if exposed to excessive humidity, especially in saltwater locations; minimize exposure and keep surfaces dry.
How do I care for area rugs?
Our beautiful area rugs will last you many years, but like upholstery, they have specific cleaning needs. Here are some tips for keeping them looking new.
-
Regular, thorough vacuuming and prompt attention to stains will prolong the life of your rug. Use suction only—avoid a beater bar/rotating brush.
-
For isolated stains: use a water-based spray spot cleaner, such as Woolite Rug Cleaner. Blot or scrape up excess, lightly spray, then blot from the outside in until the stain lifts. Avoid saturating. Vacuum when dry.
-
New rugs may shed loose fibers for several weeks, especially wool and wool blends. Shedding is normal and does not affect durability.
-
Protect from prolonged direct sunlight to minimize fading.
-
Use a rug pad to help prevent shifting on hard floors and reduce the risk of color transfer onto carpeting.
-
For overall cleaning, a professional carpet-cleaning service is recommended.
