Care guide

Marble Care Guide

  • Cleaning: To clean marble, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid using acidic or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the surface of the marble.

  • Avoiding: Avoid exposing your marble to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures as it can cause discoloration or cracking.

  • Stains: If you notice a stain on your marble item, immediately blot up the liquid with a clean, dry cloth. Then, use a mixture of water and mild detergent to remove the stain.

  • Scratches: Marble is a relatively soft stone and can be scratched easily. To avoid scratches, do not place rough or sharp objects on the surface, and do not use abrasive materials to clean it.

By following these tips, you can help ensure that your marble home decor items will remain in great condition for years to come. However, please note that marble is a natural product and that it may have small variations and imperfections, which are normal characteristics of this type of material.

Linen Care Guide

  • Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for washing and care. Different types of linen may have different requirements.

  • Wash linen tableware items separately from other fabrics to avoid snagging or pilling.

  • Use a gentle detergent that is specifically designed for delicate fabrics.

  • Wash linen tableware items in cool to lukewarm water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using hot water, as it can shrink or damage the linen fibers.

  • Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals on linen tableware items, as it can damage the fibers and cause discoloration.

  • Hang linen tableware items to dry or lay them flat. Do not tumble dry or wring out the fabric, as it can damage the fibers.

  • Iron linen tableware items while they are still slightly damp to make the process easier. Use a warm iron and iron on the wrong side of the fabric.

  • Store linen tableware items in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them in plastic bags or containers, as it can trap moisture and cause mildew.

By following these care tips, you can help ensure that your linen tableware items remain looking their best for years to come.

Candle Care Guide

  • Always place taper candles on a heat-resistant surface and away from flammable objects.

  • Make sure the taper candle holder is stable and can support the weight of the candle.

  • Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before lighting the taper candle.

  • Always keep taper candles away from drafts, as they can cause uneven burning and dripping.

  • Use a snuffer or dip the wick into the wax to extinguish the flame. Blowing out the candle can cause hot wax to splash.

  • If the candle drips wax, you can use a paper towel or cloth to wipe it away. Avoid using water or soap, as it can damage the candle's surface.

  • Store taper candles in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.

Warnings:

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended, especially with children or pets around.

  • Keep taper candles out of reach of children and pets.

  • Do not place candles near combustible materials, such as curtains or bedding.

  • Do not touch a burning candle or attempt to move it while it's still lit.

  • Avoid burning taper candles for more than four hours at a time.

  • Do not burn taper candles all the way down to the holder, as it can become a fire hazard.

  • If the flame becomes too high, smoky or flickers repeatedly, extinguish the candle and trim the wick to 1/4 inch before relighting.


about

Hi, I'm Müge, founder of Urban Society Interiors.

My passion for interiors has always been rooted in the belief that our homes should be both beautiful and deeply personal. Spaces have the power to influence how we feel, live, and connect with the people around us.

In 2023, I founded Urban Society Studio, a home décor brand focused on thoughtfully curated pieces crafted from natural materials. Through building the brand, sourcing products, and styling spaces, I developed a deeper appreciation for the role design plays in everyday life.

Today, I'm expanding that passion through Urban Society Interiors, where I help clients create warm, timeless, and intentional spaces tailored to their lifestyle. Alongside running my business, I am currently pursuing formal studies in interior design, combining education with hands-on experience to continuously refine my approach.

My design philosophy centers around thoughtful curation, natural materials, and creating homes that feel authentic, inviting, and uniquely yours.
