The benefits and disadvantages of sofa maintenance

How to care for a solid wood sofa.

1. Now there are two kinds of solid wood sofas, and the traditional hardwood furniture generally has no paint layer on the surface, just hot wax. Newly produced hardwood or other solid wood sofas are now protected by lacquer or varnish. There are differences in the maintenance methods of solid wood furniture with different treatments.

2. There is water in the solid wood, and the hardwood furniture will shrink when the air humidity is too low, and expand when it is too high. Generally, there is a lifting and shrinking layer when solid wood furniture is produced, 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 too humid basement and other places, so as not to produce mildew or dry cracking. Generally, it is advisable for people to feel comfortable wearing a sweater indoors.

3. If it is a low-lying house of a bungalow, the furniture legs must be properly raised if the ground is wet, otherwise the legs are easy to be corroded by moisture. In the summer and summer, it is necessary to frequently turn on the air conditioner to drain moisture, reduce the moisture absorption and expansion of wood furniture, and avoid the cracks caused by the wet expansion and deformation of the tenon structure.

4. When handling or moving furniture, it should be handled with care, and should not be pulled hard, so as not to damage the mortise and tenon structure. If the floor in the room is uneven, it will cause the furniture to deform for a long time, so the way to avoid it is to use small pieces of wood to flatten it.

5. Never wipe with a wet rag or a rough rag, especially on a hardwood sofa. Use a clean and soft cotton cloth, add a little furniture wax or walnut oil after a while, and gently rub it back and forth along the wood grain. If wiped with a damp cloth, it should be wiped with a dry cloth immediately after wiping.

Due to the different surface paint treatments of various furniture, it should be noted that waxing is a good maintenance method.

6. Wooden sofas should not be damp and exposed to sunlight, and curtains should be set up next to the windows.

7. To clean the wooden sofa, you can use neutral soap silk soaked in warm water (about 1:20 ratio) to mix and wipe it, then wipe it with clean water, and dry it with a dry cloth, which can reduce the chance of stains stuck on the surface of wooden furniture. You can also buy wooden furniture maintenance oil spray, which has some protective effect.

Chemical brighteners should not be used to avoid sticky damage to the paint film.

8. The position of solid wood furniture in the room should be far away from the door, window, tuyere and other parts with strong air flow, and should not be exposed to sunlight.
