How to maintain the collection of mahogany furniture

A qualified mahogany product generally does not require too much deliberate maintenance, and can be used boldly with confidence. We would like to provide some maintenance tips for the following problems that may be encountered:

1) Whether it is the use of lacquer process or blank brain wiping process of mahogany products should be wiped with a soft dry cloth, in order to prevent dust from sticking, you can use "Bi Lizhu" spraying, long-term wiping with a soft cloth can make the surface of mahogany products more and more shiny, which is one of the important characteristics of mahogany products.

2) In view of the fact that mahogany is a high-grade hard solid wood, the wood drying treatment in the production process is not easy to achieve a completely ideal effect at one time, and there will be a certain degree of expansion and contraction after a period of use, which is a normal phenomenon, as long as its mortise and tenon structure is standardized, it will not affect its use function. After a number of years of use, when the product performance is relatively stable, no longer expands and shrinks, depending on the situation by the manufacturer to make some necessary finishing, after that, the longer the age, the more stable the product will be, which is one of the reasons why the mahogany products can reflect its value the longer it is used.

3) Mahogany products should be protected from sun exposure and sharp hard objects. If it accidentally causes a scratch, it is necessary to ask a professional to repair it, which can generally be restored, and it must not be repaired without authorization. Because if the non-professional operation is illegal, it will affect the value of the product.

In addition, sun exposure or long-term uneven light exposure can also cause some surface discoloration, which is generally not too much of a problem, because the overall color of mahogany products will become deeper and deeper after long-term use, which is also a reflection of its value.

Mahogany furniture is made of strict materials, rigorous craftsmanship and beautiful shape, but it is limited to the natural characteristics of expansion and contraction of wood furniture, and can generally be used for a long time after 1 or 2 repairs in use. The classical furniture of the Ming and Qing dynasties is still intact to this day, which is proof of this. But the main maintenance should also be done, and the specific methods are as follows:

1) When carrying or moving, do not drag and pull hard, but lift off the ground to avoid damage to the tenon.

2) The placement of mahogany furniture should avoid strong direct sunlight and strong air circulation, and should not be close to the heating in winter.

3) If the top and bottom of the furniture are not painted, they should be waxed or painted to reduce the effect of humidity changes in the atmosphere.

4) It is advisable to wipe the accumulated dust with a semi-dry cotton cloth, or wax once every 2 to 3 months. If necessary, it can also be wiped with Bili bead liquid, and it must be noted that Bili bead liquid has a certain erosive effect on lacquer.

Wet cloth is the natural enemy of mahogany furniture. Because the moisture in the damp cloth and the lime and sand in the air are mixed, particles will be formed, which can easily wear down the surface of the furniture once rubbed. To keep the mahogany furniture clean, you can use a soft brush to gently brush the dust every day, and then slowly wipe it with a dry cloth of cotton summer cloth.

If the mahogany furniture is stained, wipe it with a small amount of water-soluble or oil-based detergent. Chemical brighteners should not be used to avoid sticky damage to the paint film.

For mahogany furniture, walnut oil is a good curing agent. Walnut oil is processed from walnut kernels and has a light fragrance. Because it does not contain chemical ingredients, it is a natural and environmentally friendly oil, and it is also a trace of Tafu moisturizing cream dry oil, rubbed on hardwood furniture, and formed a protective film after drying, which can reduce the invasion of humid air in the atmosphere and prevent the dryness and cracking of mahogany.

But walnut oil is only suitable for unpainted traditional furniture. When using walnut oil, it must be in moderation, rub too much, the wood is difficult to absorb for a while, and the oil that stays on the surface is not absorbed and is easy to stick to dust. Another maintenance method for mahogany furniture is waxing.

If you have a scratch, bump or abrasion, you should have it repaired by an expert. When the weather is relatively dry in autumn and winter, it is generally maintained once every 20 to 40 days.
