Are custom sizes available?
No. We do not offer bespoke furniture sizes. However, our unrivalled choice of furniture sizes and styles ensures Calypso is as close to bespoke as you can get, without the bespoke price point.
How should I care for/clean Calypso furniture?
For vinyl, lacquer or laminate surfaces: Don’t use chemical/abrasive cleaners, bleach or furniture polish. Clean with soft damp cloth and mild soap solution. Spills and sprays must be wiped and dried immediately.
For solid oak or oak-veneered surfaces: Occasional wax-based furniture polish is sufficient, don’t use household cleaners or abrasives. Remove spills immediately. Excess moisture or water spills will darken oak surfaces.
How do I care for cast basins and worktops?
Cast basins: Clean with soft damp cloth and mild soap/non-abrasive cream cleaner. Never use chemical or abrasive cleaners or bleach.
Worktops:
- Vinyl & laminate: Same as above (soft cloth, mild soap). Spills must be wiped and dried.
