Product Care & Maintenance Instructions

Last Updated: 12 September 2026
At AFTH Living (afthliving.com), operated by ACCESSORIES FOR THE HOME LTD, we take great pride in curation. Our exclusive home accessories, industrial furniture, and smart decor essentials are crafted using premium materials designed to bring character to your home for years to come.
To help preserve the raw textures, structural integrity, and premium finish of your distinctive interior pieces, we have compiled this comprehensive care and maintenance guide.
🏗️ 1. Urban Industrial Metalwork & Steel Framing
Many of our signature home accessories—including metal-framed mirrors, console shelves, and mantle clocks—feature raw, brushed, or powder-coated iron and steel elements.
  • Routine Dusting: Use a clean, dry, lint-free microfiber cloth to remove surface dust weekly.
  • Cleaning Stains: If required, wipe down with a slightly damp cloth using clean water. Dry the surface immediately with a separate dry cloth.
  • Moisture Prevention: To prevent oxidation or rusting on raw metal finishes, do not expose metal frames to persistent moisture or harsh liquids. Avoid using bleach, abrasive scouring pads, or solvent-based chemical cleaners.
🪞 2. Premium Mirrors & Glass Accents
Our striking wall mirrors and glass accents are delicate and require attentive care to remain crystal clear.
  • Glass Cleaning: Clean the glass surface using a dedicated, high-quality glass cleaner sprayed onto a microfiber cloth rather than directly onto the mirror. This prevents moisture from seeping behind the frame and damaging the silver backing.
  • Frame Care: Be cautious when wiping down the outer edge of the mirror to ensure cleaning fluids do not discolor or interact with the metallic, wooden, or distressed finish of the surrounding frame.
🪵 3. Solid Wood, Veneers & Reclaimed Timbers
Our furniture and lifestyle accents featuring timber highlights display unique natural grains, knots, and textures that respond directly to their environment.
  • Sunlight & Heat Protection: Avoid placing wooden home accessories in direct, intense sunlight to prevent fading or warping. Maintain a safe distance from active heat sources such as radiators, open fires, or wood-burning stoves.
  • Spillages: Always clean liquid spills immediately by blotting with an absorbent dry cloth. Do not allow liquids to pool or stand on timber surfaces.
  • Coasters & Mats: Utilize protective mats, coasters, or felt pads underneath hot mugs, wet glasses, or heavy decor pieces to avoid permanent rings, heat markings, or surface scratches.
🔌 4. Smart Lifestyle Tech & Digital Sleep Aids
Our light-infused bedside clocks, smart sleep aids, and multi-functional speaker systems combine textiles, LED elements, and integrated hardware.
  • Power Safety: Always ensure the device is completely disconnected from its main power source before attempting any external cleaning or maintenance.
  • Liquid Warning: Never expose smart tech components to water, moisture, or liquid sprays. Dampness can permanently damage the internal electronic motherboards.
  • Fabric & Grille Care: For devices featuring a cloth-mesh or textured fabric casing, use a low-suction handheld vacuum or a soft-bristled brush to gently lift surface dust and lint.
🕰️ 5. Traditional Mechanical & Quartz Cuckoo Clocks
Our chalet-style clocks and pendulum-driven accessories contain intricate physical gearing or precise electronic components.
  • Stable Mounting: Ensure your wall clock is securely mounted perfectly flush against a flat, stable vertical wall to allow pendulums and chains to drop naturally without friction.
  • Winding Mechanics: For mechanical clocks, pull the chains down smoothly and gently to wind the weights. Avoid jerky, sudden movements that could unseat the inner gearing chains.
  • Dust Prevention: Gently dust the external chalet contours using a soft, clean paint brush or makeup brush to clear out intricate crevices without catching delicate exterior figures.
