Furniture Care Tips
Dream on me uses special finishes on all our collections of children’s bedroom furniture to guarantee that they are safe for your baby. These finishes are more delicate than those used in adult furniture and require careful maintenance. Please read and follow these simple instructions to help your furniture continue to look beautiful and last a lifetime.
Watch Out for Sharp Clothing!
Be careful when wearing sharp clothing articles like belt buckles and zippers. They will damage your furniture. Be especially cautious when leaning over the crib or dresser.
Keep It Pristine—Dust Weekly, Polish Quarterly!
Dust your furniture at least once a week with a lint-free cloth dampened with polish or cleaner. Polish it every four months.
Avoid Sun & Extreme Conditions!
Don’t expose your furniture to strong sunlight or extreme changes in temperature or moisture. This can damage or fade its color.
Avoid Heat & AC Vents!
Do not place your furniture in front of or over heating or air conditioning vents.
Be Cautious with Plastics!
Take care when placing plastic materials (placemats / lamp bases / notebooks / etc.) directly on your furniture. Certain plastics have ingredients that may react with and damage the finish.
Use a Cloth Under Changing Pads!
When using a vinyl changing pad place a protective cloth over your furniture to keep from scratching and damaging the finish. Do not place changing pad belts under the pad as these can also scratch the finish.
Use a Felt Mat, Not Plastic!
Use a felt mat (not plastic) to protect your furniture.
Clean Spills Fast – Prevent Damage from Liquids!
Wipe up spills promptly. Water left too long on your furniture will leave white spots on the finish. Urine can cause discoloration. Alcohol / perfume / aftershave and medicines can cause severe and permanent damage.
Keep Vaporizers Away from Furniture!
Be very careful when using a vaporizer. Moisture is not good for the finish. Make sure the vapor stream is always aimed away from your furniture.
Lift, Don’t Drag
Do not drag objects across the top surface of your furniture. Always lift them to avoid scratching the finish.
Avoid Clamping Items on Furniture!
Avoid placing mobile devices accessories or any item that clamps on to the furniture/crib as they can cause scratching and other forms of damage to the finish of the crib/furniture.
