You can use a damp cloth from time to time to remove deep seated dirt. Maintaining your furniture to retain their natural look and make them last longer is essential.

Metal polish works best on the aforementioned materials, as long as they're not too old and rusty, instead of a damp cloth. Leather is not as hard to clean and maintain although unlike wood, it's much harder to repair. Leather in general is amongst the most aesthetically pleasing materials to make furniture with.

Avoid using it on gold as it may cause more harm than good.

Furniture are made out of all sorts of material such as plastic, wood, metal, fibreglass, glass, fabric, leather, etc. Metal furniture for example doesn't need to be deep cleaned all the time but it's important that your dust it off every day. Metal polish doesn't work on every type of metal and oftentimes, people don't know that they're damaging the material more than they're maintaining its natural look. It's an elegant material that exudes sophistication especially when mixed and matched with the right colors around a room. Never use wet cloth to clean metal furniture such as lamps because it will cause the piece to rust faster.

Metal polish works best on brass, chrome and stainless steel.
