How to maintain solid wood furniture?

1. The harsh environment may still cause the drawer to swell and be difficult to open and close. A simple solution is to apply wax or paraffin wax to the drawer edges and bottom slides. If the humidity is persistently high for a long time, consider using a dehumidifier.

When the air gets a little drier, the drawers open and close naturally.

2. Don't let the furniture be exposed to direct sunlight for a long time. When exposed to sunlight continuously, UV rays can create fine cracks on the surface of the coating or cause discoloration and blackening. It is advisable to remove furniture from direct sunlight and block it through curtains if necessary.

3. Dust should be removed frequently, because dust will rub against the surface of solid wood furniture every day. It's best to use a clean, soft cotton cloth, such as an old white t-shirt or baby cotton diaper, and remember not to wipe down your furniture with a sponge or dishwashing cleaner. Please use a soaked cotton cloth when dusting, because a wet cotton cloth can reduce friction and avoid scratching the furniture, and at the same time help to reduce the adsorption of static electricity to dust, which is conducive to removing dust from the surface of the furniture.

When it is necessary to avoid moisture residue on the surface of the furniture, it is recommended to wipe it again with a dry cotton cloth.

4. It is recommended to use a special furniture polish for regular maintenance of furniture. There are usually two types of polishes, one is for furniture with a high gloss finish and the other is for furniture with a matte or low gloss finish. Also, be sure not to choose polishes that contain silicone, as silicone will not only soften and destroy the coating, but it can also clog the pores of the wood, making repairs difficult.

Maintenance furniture to pay attention to a lot of details, now to buy furniture is a very simple thing, all kinds of furniture in the shopping mall, what styles and materials are a lot, I think suitable for the style of home and their favorite furniture can choose to buy, but such a beautiful furniture should pay more attention to their usual maintenance, good maintenance, can never change the shape, the longer the use of the more shiny it can be, and then it increases the service life of the furniture. The landlord said how to maintain the furniture actually depends on what kind of furniture you buy, for different furniture to maintain, in fact, most families still choose wooden furniture and leather furniture, and some are bought cloth furniture. Here I will make a detailed introduction to the maintenance methods of leather furniture:

Leather furniture is relatively soft, so the absorption will be much stronger, in the maintenance can only be wiped with a cloth, with a soft cloth is best or choose a sponge is also good, wipe the corner part should pay attention to, and then with some special leather furniture maintenance liquid to wipe, and wait for the leather furniture surface oil to slowly dry before use. Leather furniture should pay attention not to touch hard things, be careful of scratches, the skin scratches can not be kept as it is, and pay attention to friends who have pets at home, small pets are not sensible, they will use their claws to scratch the surface of leather furniture.

The first is to place it smoothly The floor where solid wood furniture is placed must be kept flat and the legs must be evenly balanced. If the furniture is placed in a state of constant swaying and shaking, it will inevitably cause the tenon or fastener to fall off and the bonded part to crack over time, thereby affecting the use effect and reducing the life of the furniture. Also, if the floor is soft makes the furniture unbalanced.

It is recommended that you do not use wooden boards or iron sheets to pad the furniture legs, so that even if you maintain balance, it is difficult to feel the force evenly, and it will damage the internal structure of the furniture in the long run. The only way to compensate is to trim the floor, or spread a slightly larger area of ebonite sheet on the south side so that the furniture can rest on all four legs. Second, to remove dust When removing dust from furniture, it is best to use pure cotton knitted cloth, and then use a fine soft wool brush to remove dust from depressions or embossed ornamentation.

Furniture that has been painted should not be wiped with gasoline or organic solvents, but can be wiped with colorless furniture polishing wax to enhance the gloss and reduce dust. Third, the position of the furniture is best not exposed to direct sunlight, and the frequent sun exposure will make the furniture paint film fade, the metal fittings are easy to oxidize and deteriorate, and the wood is easy to be brittle. In summer, it is best to use curtains to protect the furniture.

Finally, to maintain indoor humidity and humidity is to maintain indoor humidity, do not let the furniture get wet, in the spring and autumn to use the humidifier should be limited time, to prevent excessive humidity and damage to the furniture, such as wood decay, metal corrosion, bonding parts easy to open glue detachment, etc. Beijing Yifeng Furniture recommends that you usually clean the furniture with as little water as possible, and avoid using alkaline water, only wipe with a damp cloth that wrung out the water, and then wipe it clean with a dry cloth. As long as you do the above points, your solid wood furniture will not be so easy to deform.

Frequently use a soft cloth along the texture of the wood surface to dust the furniture, before dusting, should be on the soft cloth, dip some water, do not feel the moisture, do not use chemicals, so as not to damage the paint surface. Wooden furniture is a natural material that is more vulnerable to damage, so collision and impact should be avoided when using, and it should be avoided to drag or grind the surface of documents or any items on the surface of the wooden products, as well as to place heavy objects for a long time to avoid abrasion marks or indentations;

Solid wood furniture maintenance skills:

1. Avoid direct sunlight. Although the winter sun is not as intense as in summer, the long period of sun exposure combined with the already dry climate makes the wood too dry and prone to cracks and partial fading.

2. Regular maintenance should be carried out. Under normal circumstances, waxing only once a quarter is sufficient, so that the furniture looks shiny and the surface does not vacuum, making it easier to clean.

3. Keep it moisturized. The moisture of wooden furniture can not be provided by water, that is to say, it can not be simply wiped with a wet rag, but should choose professional furniture care essential oil, which contains natural orange oil that is easily absorbed by wood fibers, which can lock the moisture in the wood, prevent the wood from drying out and deforming, and nourish the wood at the same time, so that the wooden furniture can regain its brilliance from the inside out and prolong the service life of the furniture.

4. It should not be placed in a very humid place, so as not to swell the wood when wet, and it is easy to rot after a long time, and the drawer cannot be opened.

5. Avoid scratches with hard objects. Do not allow cleaning tools to touch the furniture when cleaning. It is also necessary to pay attention not to let hard metal products or other sharp objects collide with the furniture, so as to protect its surface from hard marks and hanging wires.

6. Prevent dust. Generally, the relatively high-end log furniture made of mahogany, teak, oak, walnut, etc. have exquisite carved decorations, such as can not be cleaned regularly to remove ash, small gaps are easy to accumulate dust to affect the appearance, and dust is the killer of wooden furniture quickly "aging".

Solid wood furniture is mainly divided into traditional and modern. Traditional hardwood furniture generally has no lacquer on the surface, just hot wax. Newly produced hardwood or other solid wood furniture is now protected by lacquer or varnish.

The solid wood furniture of our Yipu family is only treated with pure natural wood wax oil cover, which is very healthy and environmentally friendly. There are different maintenance methods for solid wood furniture with different treatments. 

1. Solid wood contains water, and hardwood furniture will shrink when the air humidity is too low, and expand when it is too high. Generally, solid wood furniture has a lifting and shrinking layer during production, but it should be noted that it should not be placed in a place that is too humid or too dry, such as near a high temperature and high heat place such as stove heating, or a place such as a basement that is too humid, so as not to produce mildew or dry cracking. 

2. Solid wood furniture sticks to the oil, residual tea is an excellent detergent, after wiping, spray a small amount of corn flour to wipe, and finally wipe the corn flour. Corn flour absorbs all the dirt that adheres to the surface of the furniture, making the paint smooth and bright. 

3. If the surface of solid wood furniture is white wood paint, it is easy to turn yellow over time, you can wipe it with a rag dipped in toothpaste, and be careful not to use too much force. You can also stir the two egg yolks well, apply them to the yellowed area with a soft brush, and carefully wipe them clean with a soft cloth after drying. 

4. Avoid placing too heavy items on the surface of the furniture for a long time, otherwise the furniture will be deformed. Even if it is a table made of solid wood, it is not advisable to lay non-breathable materials such as plastic sheeting on the tabletop. 

5. The surface of the furniture should avoid friction with hard objects, so as not to damage the surface texture of the paint and wood, such as placing porcelain and bronze and other decorative items to be particularly careful, it is best to pad a soft cloth. 

6. If the floor in the room is uneven, it will cause the furniture to deform for a long time, and the way to avoid it is to use small wooden pieces to flatten it. If it is a bungalow or a low-lying house, the furniture legs must be properly raised if the ground is wet, otherwise the legs are prone to moisture corrosion. 

7. Never wipe solid wood furniture with wet rags or rough rags. Use a clean and soft cotton cloth, add a little furniture wax or wood wax after a period of time, and gently rub it back and forth along the wood grain. 

1. Frequent dust removal.

There are a lot of particles in the air, which accumulate on the table and become dust, and they will rub against the surface of solid wood furniture, so it is necessary to dust solid wood furniture frequently. Try to use clean, soft cotton cloth, such as an old white T-shirt or baby cotton cloth. Remember not to wipe your furniture with sponges or dishwashing utensils.

When dusting, please use a soaked and wrung out cotton cloth, because wet cotton cloth can reduce friction and avoid scratching furniture, and it also helps to reduce the adsorption of static electricity to dust, which is conducive to removing dust from the surface of furniture. However, it should be avoided that moisture remains on the surface of the furniture, and it is recommended to wipe it again with a dry cotton cloth.

2. Wax regularly.

Waxing is like putting on a layer of protective clothing for furniture, which can effectively protect the "health" of solid wood furniture. One of the most important things to maintain solid wood furniture is waxing, which is best done every 3 months.

Before using polishing wax for furniture, check whether the surface of the paint layer is intact. For newer solid wood furniture, the surface dust should be wiped off with a muslin cloth first, and the stains that have been left for too long or are difficult to remove can be wiped with a cotton cloth dipped in a small amount of gasoline or alcohol. Then use a small piece of cotton cloth dipped in an appropriate amount of polishing wax to coat a large area, and then use a larger dry cloth to rub the wax evenly in a circular shape.

If it has been waxed before, the old wax should be wiped off with mild, non-alkaline soapy water before waxing.

3. Prevent sun exposure.

Avoid placing furniture in front of large south-facing glass windows, as long-term direct sunlight will dry out the furniture and it will fade. Hot water cups, etc., should not be placed directly on the surface of furniture and will leave marks. Colored liquids, such as ink, should be absolutely avoided from spilling on the table.

4. Pay attention to the temperature.

The temperature is 18 degrees Celsius to 24 degrees, and the relative temperature is 35%-40%, which is the most ideal environment for wood furniture, please avoid placing furniture close to heat sources or air conditioning vents, temperature changes can lead to damage to any exposed parts of furniture, and the use of humidifiers, fireplaces or small heaters may also cause premature aging of furniture.
