A Lifetime of Living Beautifully
How to care for your Camerich furniture, a Guide by Gregoir Lifestyle A thing of beauty is a joy forever. It is chosen with care, with intention, with an eye on how something will live not just today, but for years to come. At Gregoir Lifestyle, we believe that caring for your Camerich furniture is itself a form of appreciation: a small, recurring act of respect for the craft that went into making it. This guide covers everything you need to know. Simply, clearly, and without unnecessary complication.
What is the ideal temperature and humidity for furniture?
Before anything else, placement matters. Camerich furniture is designed for indoor living in stable conditions: ideally a room temperature between 16 and 26°C, with relative humidity between 35% and 65%.
Sunlight is beautiful but prolonged direct exposure will fade and age any surface over time. Position your pieces away from south-facing windows, air conditioning vents, and heat sources. A little thought at the start saves a great deal of effort later.
How do I clean a fabric sofa?
Your fabric sofa, chair, or ottoman will reward a little regular attention. Vacuum gently every two weeks using a soft brush head. This keeps dust from settling into the weave and maintains the fabric’s appearance over time.
For stains, use a fabric-specific cleanser, and always test it first on a hidden or underside area of the piece. For anything more persistent, a professional dry cleaner is the wisest choice.
How do I fix crushed velvet or chenille on my sofa?
If you have chenille or velvet upholstery and notice a change in the way light falls across the surface, that subtle shift of light and dark, this is entirely normal. The pile has simply been flattened. A gentle steam iron through a white cloth, followed by brushing the fibres back in one direction, will restore its appearance beautifully.
How do I take care of a leather sofa?
Leather asks very little and gives a great deal in return. A soft cloth, used gently, is all that is needed for day-to-day care. For stains, a clean damp cloth or a dedicated leather cleanser will suffice.
It is worth knowing that natural markings like scars, veins, slight variations in tone, are not imperfections. They are the signature of genuine leather, and they tell the story of a natural material. They are, in the truest sense, part of what makes each piece unique. Our leather is sourced in Italy.
How do I fluff up feather sofa cushions?
Camerich uses goose feather cushions with a 10% down content for most seat and back cushions, a choice that prioritises comfort and longevity over ease of production. Over time, the feathers may shift with regular use. The remedy is simple: remove the cushion core periodically, pat it to redistribute the down, then leave it in a dry, ventilated space until it regains its softness and shape.
In humid seasons, a dehumidifier in the room will help maintain the cushions’ structure and prevent any moisture from affecting the down.
How do I clean and protect wooden furniture?
For everyday care, a soft damp cloth wiped in the direction of the grain is all that is needed. Avoid harsh chemicals, and address spills promptly. For more stubborn stains, a professional wood cleaning agent is recommended.
A few habits worth forming: distribute weight evenly across surfaces, avoid placing supercooled or overheated objects directly on the wood, and never drag furniture across the floor. Lift it or carry it to protect both the piece and your floor beneath it.
For new wooden furniture, it is worth leaving cabinet doors and drawers open in the early weeks to allow any residual odours from production to dissipate. A few green plants nearby, or a small dish of activated carbon, will accelerate the process naturally.
How do I clean a marble table without damaging it?
A soft damp cloth handles daily maintenance with ease. For stains on marble or ceramic, use natural cleansers and scrub gently. The surface is resilient but not indestructible. Avoid anything abrasive or acidic.
Natural marble will always carry its own story: shading, water lines, mineral veins. No two slabs are identical, and the variations you see are a mark of authenticity, not error.
How do I clean rattan and metal furniture?
Rattan woven pieces benefit from a light cleaning with diluted salt brine applied on a soft cloth during humid seasons, which prevents mould from settling into the crevices. For metal components like legs, frames, hardware, a dry or barely damp soft cloth is sufficient. Keep metal surfaces away from oily, acidic, or alkaline liquids, and dry any condensation promptly to prevent rust. Treat the hardware such as hinges, drawers, rails with a gentle touch: open and close them smoothly rather than with sudden force, and they will operate beautifully for years.
What warranty does Camerich furniture have?
Every piece in the Camerich collection is built to last and backed by it. The frame structures of both upholstered and panel-type furniture carry a 10-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Cushion cores, fabric and leather covers, and metal components are covered for 2 years, as are marble, ceramic, glass, and mirror elements.
The warranty applies to normal household use and does not cover damage from misuse, improper maintenance, or alteration without authorisation.

A piece that lasts is a piece worth choosing
Good furniture should evolve developing character with time, wearing its years gracefully, becoming part of the story of the rooms it inhabits. With a little care, your Camerich pieces will do exactly that.
