Lila Furniture Care Guide

Wood is a beautiful, natural material—and like anything valuable, it thrives with the right care. Follow these simple tips to keep your Lila furniture looking great for years to come:

1. Protect from water, paint, and strong colors

While each Lila product comes with a protective topcoat, wood can still absorb moisture and pigment if exposed for too long. When an activity is done, clean the table immediately. Do not let materials sit and dry on the table. During activities involving water, paints, markers, or intense colors, always use a protective surface—like a sheet of paper, mat, or tray—to avoid staining or warping.

✨Tip: If your child is doing art projects, place a washable mat or newspaper under their work area.

2. Clean gently and regularly

Wipe your furniture with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust and everyday mess. For light pencil or washable marker stains, use mild dish soap diluted in water. Be sure not to soak the wood—always use a dry cloth afterward to wipe off any remaining moisture.

✨ Tip: Do not use harsh cleaning agents, sprays, or abrasive scrubbers like nail polish remover, steel wool scrubber, bleach, etc.—they can damage the wood’s finish. If you don't wash your hands with it, don't use it.

3. Keep away from direct heat and sunlight

To prevent warping or fading, avoid placing furniture directly next to radiators, heaters, or sunny windows. A bit of sunlight is fine, but constant exposure can dry out and lighten the wood over time.

✨ Tip: If furniture is near a sunny spot, try rotating it occasionally to maintain even colour and condition.

Let it age gracefully!

Wood naturally develops a character over time—that’s part of its charm. Minor wear, gentle scuffs, and soft patina only add to the story of your child’s space. Treat it well, and it’ll grow beautifully with your family.
