How to maintain solid wood furniture in autumn?

Dust removal Dust frequently, as dust rubs against the surface of solid wood or mahogany furniture on a daily basis. It is best to use a clean, soft cotton cloth, such as an old white t-shirt or baby cotton cloth, etc. 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.

Cleaning In order to remove traces from airborne contaminants, cooking fumes, smudges from handling and residues from glazing, we recommend using a special furniture cleaner. This solvent can also help remove excess wax.

Waxing Wax regularly, every 3 months, to wax the furniture. 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 varnishing wax to coat a large area, and then use a larger dry cloth to rub the wax evenly according to the circumferential block, before waxing, the old wax should be wiped off with milder non-alkaline soapy water, and the waxing should not be too dense, otherwise it will block the pores of the wood. Over-waxing can also damage the appearance of the coating. American solid wood furniture is simple and natural, dignified and elegant, but due to the change of wood moisture content, it may be deformed or cracked, so it needs special care, especially in this hot summer.

For example, it can not be directly exposed to sunlight for a long time, it cannot be too cold or extremely hot, and too dry and humid environments are not suitable for solid wood furniture. If the temperature and humidity change too much due to frequent switching on and off of the air conditioner, even qualified solid wood furniture products will sometimes deform and crack.

Daily care Avoid letting sunlight shine on the surface of the furniture for a long time, otherwise it is easy to lose the balance of moisture inside the wood and cause cracks; In the drier environment in autumn and winter, it is necessary to regularly use artificial humidification measures to replenish the excessive loss of water, such as wiping furniture after wetting water with a soft cloth; Maintain a good humidity, the ideal humidity is around 40, if you use the air conditioner for a long time, you can put water next to it. The temperature difference should not be too large, so as to avoid the air conditioner being turned on and off, resulting in drastic temperature changes; Avoid placing excessively hot items directly on the surface of the furniture, as this will damage the protective paint and wax on the surface of the furniture.

Welcome to Taoyuanju.

The maintenance of solid wood furniture is very particular, if the use of protection is reasonable, in principle, it can be passed down for many years of long-term use, and the maintenance methods are:

1. Now there are two kinds of solid wood furniture, and the traditional hardwood furniture generally has no lacquer layer on the surface, just hot wax. Newly produced hardwood or other solid wood furniture is 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.

3. If it is a low-lying house in a bungalow, the furniture legs must be properly raised if the ground is wet, otherwise the legs are easy to be corroded by moisture.

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. Tables and chairs can not be lifted, easy to fall off, should be lifted from both sides of the table and the chair surface, the cabinet is best to remove the cabinet door and then lift, can reduce the weight, but also avoid the cabinet door activity. If you need to move particularly heavy furniture, you can use a soft rope to put it under the furniture chassis and lift it again.

5. Avoid placing too heavy items on the surface of the furniture for a long time, especially TV, fish tank, etc., which will deform the furniture. The table should not be covered with non-breathable materials such as plastic sheeting.

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 a small piece of wood to flatten it.

7. Never wipe the furniture with a wet rag or a rough rag, especially the hardwood furniture, especially the old furniture. 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.

8. 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.

9. Avoid placing the furniture in front of the large glass window facing south, as long-term direct sunlight will make the furniture too dry and fade.

10. Hot water cups cannot be placed directly on the surface of furniture, which will leave traces that are not easy to remove. Colored liquids, such as ink, should be absolutely avoided from spilling on the table.

If you can pay attention to the above, I believe that your furniture can be well protected, but you will not even dare to wipe the floor.
