Maintenance Manual

For a Home That Ages Beautifully, Piece by Piece

At DANMAI, we design products to be lived with—and loved—for years. With just a little mindful care, your shelving and storage pieces will retain their beauty, stability, and charm through everyday life.

Here’s how to keep them looking and performing their best:

🪵 Wood Surfaces

Side tables, storage stools, wall racks, and more.

  • Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth to maintain a clean surface.

  • Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage finishes. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for spot cleaning.

  • Wipe spills immediately to prevent staining or warping—especially on natural or lacquered wood.

  • Protect against heat and moisture by using coasters or mats beneath hot items and plants.

  • Avoid placing furniture in direct sunlight to prevent fading or discoloration over time.

🧼 Upholstered or Cushioned Elements

For storage stools or padded surfaces (if applicable).

  • Vacuum gently using an upholstery attachment to remove dust and lint.

  • Spot clean using a damp cloth and mild detergent, testing on a hidden area first.

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade fabrics and weaken fibers.

  • Rotate or shift use occasionally to ensure even wear on surfaces and cushions.

⚙️ Assembly & Stability Tips

  • Ensure all screws and bolts are tightly fastened after setup—and re-check every few months.

  • Place heavier items on lower shelves to maintain balance and stability.

  • Avoid climbing or sitting on furniture not designed to bear such weight.

🧊 Climate Considerations

  • Wood is a natural material—it may expand or contract slightly with humidity changes.

  • Keep products away from radiators, vents, or damp environments for long-term protection.

🛠️ Small Repairs & Longevity

  • Minor scratches on wooden surfaces can be softened with a furniture wax crayon or oil-based polish.

  • For replacement parts or specific product care questions, contact our team—we’re always happy to help.
