Product maintenance

When you buy a product, whatever it is, the question of the maintenance of the latter is often a criterion that impacts our purchasing decision.

Some materials are easier to maintain than others:

– The wooden office: dust is less visible on this material. To clean this desk, you can use soapy water or products intended for wood maintenance. Never apply a product to wood, at the risk of deteriorating your office, apply it to a cloth.

– The metal desk: the dust is a little more visible on a metal desk than on a wooden desk. Therefore, it will be useful to pass a damp cloth more frequently than on a wooden desk.

– The glass office: the dust is very remarkable on the glass, your desk should therefore be dusted much more regularly than for the two materials mentioned above. In addition, on the latter, the fingerprints are very showy, it will be necessary to very frequently pass from the window to windows and a stroke of a cloth in order to remove them.
