Look after the mattress
Your mattress lasts longer if you rotate it head-to-foot every few months, so it wears evenly. Use a washable mattress protector against dust, spills and humidity, and let it air occasionally — especially important in India's damp monsoon months.
Keep wooden pieces happy
Dust beds, wardrobes and bedside tables regularly with a soft cloth along the grain. Keep them out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, and away from damp walls so the wood doesn't swell. Wipe spills immediately and use coasters on bedside tables.
Maintain wardrobe doors and drawers
Sliding doors and drawer runners work smoothly for years if you keep their tracks free of dust. A quick clean of the channels now and then prevents sticking and protects the mechanism.
Refresh upholstery
For upholstered headboards and benches, vacuum gently to lift dust, and spot-clean stains promptly with a mild, fabric-safe cleaner. Avoid soaking the fabric, and let it dry fully to prevent mustiness.
Tighten and check
Bed frames take nightly stress, so check and tighten joints and bolts every few months. Catching a loose fitting early stops squeaks and prevents bigger damage down the line.
Protect against humidity
In humid weather, leave a little gap between large furniture and exterior walls for airflow, and consider moisture absorbers in closed wardrobes to keep clothes and wood fresh.
