Frequently Asked Questions
What is PU furniture and is it good for dining rooms?
PU stands for polyurethane, a synthetic material used to create a faux leather finish that's generally easier to clean and more consistent in colour than genuine leather. It's a practical choice for dining chairs and bar stools that see regular daily use and occasional spills.
How do I clean PU dining furniture?
Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads, which can dull or damage the surface finish over time. Keep pieces away from direct heat sources, since prolonged heat exposure can make PU brittle and prone to cracking.
Does PU dining furniture suit family homes?
PU's wipe-clean surface makes it a sensible choice for family dining rooms, since everyday spills and marks from mealtimes are far easier to manage than with fabric or velvet upholstery, without sacrificing too much on style or comfort.
