Tips | Jan 27, 2022
Furniture could be considered as one of the most important composition of houses and home. It’s not only a product of design to facilitate to our daily life, but it also could be considered as a form of decorative art. On the other hand, furniture might get worn and faded easily after being used for a long time, and the wearout situation might get worse if they’re not maintained well after they’re being used.
As we all know, furniture could be made of different raw materials. Maintenance methods vary from different raw materials. This article is about how to maintain wooden furniture.
Wooden furniture is widely used in our houses, such as wooden tables, wooden chairs, closets, beds and so forth. How to maintain wooden furniture and keep them in good condition is of great importance.
1. Frequent Dedusting
The surface of wooden furniture should be dedusted frequently with a soft cotton cloth. Spray some cleanser on the soft cotton cloth before dedusting. Do not wipe wooden furniture’s surface with a dry cloth, which will cause abrasion to the surface.
It’s better to wipe every corner of the wooden furniture with a wet soft cotton cloth regularly. And then wipe them dry with a clean dry soft cotton cloth.
2. Keep Polishing and Waxing
We should keep polishing and waxing the wooden furniture. Apply some polishing oil on the duster cloth and polish the wooden furniture quickly. And keep frequent dedusting after polishing. Because the dust will be stuck to the polishing oil, and it will become difficult for cleaning.
Liquid wax is better than polishing oil to some degree, which could form a protection layer. Dust won’t be stuck to the wooden furniture surface. However, liquid wax couldn’t last as long as yellow wax. Wooden furniture could keep bright for a long time if polished with yellow wax.
3. How to Handle the Scratches and Water Marks?
It might be a headache for many people to handle the scratches on wooden furniture. However, crayon will solve this problem easily. Use a crayon whose color is similar to the furniture and paint the scratches. Please make sure that the scratches are covered by the crayon, after which please wax the scratches again.
There will be water marks if the water drops on the wooden furniture are not wiped away in time. Generally speaking, it will take some time for the water marks to vanish. If the water marks could still be seen after one month, please wipe them with a clean soft cloth applied with a little salad oil or mayonnaise.
Maintaining wooden furniture could be easy if we could pay attention to it in our daily life. Shiny and well-preserved wooden furniture could make our house in good condition and we could also keep in a good mood every day.
