Care and maintenance

We want to share with you our knowledge and experience so that you can effortlessly extend the life of your furniture. ✨

Birch Plywood is the basis of all our products. We choose birch plywood for its strength, sustainability and simple aesthetics. These boards come from FSC-certified European forests grown specifically for this purpose. It is the ideal material for mahm because of its structural strength and light weight. Although it is not recommended for furniture that remains outdoors constantly, it can withstand occasional showers if dried properly afterwards. Therefore, it is perfect for use both indoors and in kitchens and bathrooms.

Our base material, along with the natural finishes we use at mahm, make all of our pieces breathe, absorb moisture and even have imperfections. And that’s what makes them different from other materials on the market.

But don’t panic, with a little care, you’ll have furniture that will last for generations.

Basic tips

Avoid placing furniture in direct sunlight or near a source of intense heat to reduce changes in its condition.
Clean stains promptly before they can cause permanent damage to the furniture.
Be careful not to scratch or damage the surface with sharp objects.
Avoid inappropriate uses, such as placing shoes on the table or climbing on top of it.
When moving furniture, be sure to lift it to avoid damaging the floor, legs or anchors.
Use protectors under pots or hot objects.

Life happens, but Mahm’s premium finish ensures your furniture remains stunning for years to come.

To clean the surfaces, simply use a soft, slightly damp cloth. For tougher dirt, a mild detergent can be used. Always dry the surfaces immediately with a soft cloth to prevent moisture damage.

Avoid using harsh cleaning agents or products containing silicone or abrasives.

Whenever possible, refrain from rubbing the surface during cleaning, as this can cause matte finishes to become shiny and may create static on the varnish, attracting more dust.

We also recommend skipping waxes and furniture polishes, as they often contain unsuitable solvents or dyes and can leave a residue that’s hard to remove. With proper care, your Mahm furniture will stay as beautiful as the day it arrived in your home.

Basic maintenance

Regular Dusting: Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to dust your veneer furniture regularly to prevent dirt buildup.
Mild Cleaning Solutions: Use a solution of mild dish soap and water for cleaning. Wipe gently with a damp cloth and dry immediately with a soft, dry cloth.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Never use abrasive cleaners, ammonia, bleach, or wax-based polishes, as they can damage the veneer surface.

We hope you enjoy the quality of this product as much as we do. 😊
