How to maintain mahogany furniture

How to maintain mahogany furniture? Mahogany furniture can be used for a long time, and you can use some wax oil to maintain the furniture.

Mahogany furniture should be maintained with furniture wax and wiped frequently.

Wood always contains moisture, and although the furniture is dried before it is made, the moisture content is still above 8%. Therefore, in the process of using solid wood furniture, the environmental humidity should be avoided too low, when the relative humidity of the surrounding air is very low, the moisture in the wood will evaporate into the air, and the wood will shrink when it loses water. Shrinkage of the panel will result in a separation.

Affect the aesthetics of furniture.

When the relative humidity of the surrounding air is too high, the wood absorbs moisture from the air again, and the wood absorbs water and expands. The panel swells, and the mortise and tenon structure may fall off in severe cases.

Therefore, the maintenance of mahogany furniture, in addition to frequent waxing, gentle handling, to avoid collision. The most important thing is to ensure the stability of the relative humidity of the indoor air. It is recommended to purchase a thermohygrometer and place it indoors to adjust the indoor air humidity according to the situation.

This is also good for people's health.

Mahogany furniture is different from general furniture, suitable for dampness, avoid drying, so mahogany furniture is particularly not suitable for exposure to the sun, do not air conditioning blowing on furniture, spring, autumn and winter three seasons to keep indoor air not dry, it is advisable to use humidifiers to spray wet, indoor fish farming, flower farming can also adjust indoor air humidity.

Mahogany furniture must be stored moderately, and the items stored in the cabinet should not exceed the door frame, if it is often squeezed and plugged, it will cause the door to be deformed.

The mahogany panel surface of mahogany furniture is generally brittle, such as table tops and chair tops. Always pay attention to prevent bruises and cracks, if you find that the tenon is out of the force when using or moving, you must re-glue and seal before use.

In order to protect the paint film from being scratched and to show the wood texture, thick glass panels are generally placed on the countertop, and small suction cup pads are used to separate the glass panels from the wooden countertops. It is not recommended to use transparent polyethylene crystal plates.

Mahogany furniture is generally used for a long time, so it is necessary to protect the surface coating of the furniture frequently, and it is best to wipe it with a little wax every three months, which not only increases the beauty of the furniture, but also protects the wood.

To keep mahogany furniture tidy, wipe off dust with clean gauze every day. Chemical brighteners should not be used to avoid sticky damage to the paint film. In order to maintain the brightness of the furniture paint film, the walnuts can be crushed, peeled, and then polished with three layers of gauze.

Prevent solvents such as alcohol and banana water from tipping over. Otherwise, it will cause "scars" on the surface of the furniture. When the surface of the furniture is stained with dirt, it should be washed with light soapy water, and after drying, wax again to restore the original appearance, but do not wipe it with solvent-based liquids such as gasoline, kerosene, turpentine, etc., otherwise it will wipe off the paint and paint on the surface.

Walnut oil used for furniture maintenance is only suitable for unvarnished furniture that has been treated with waxing. The frequency of use should not be too high, under normal circumstances, it can be used once every 2-3 months, and the maintenance interval can be appropriately shortened in a relatively dry environment, and it can be maintained once a month or so. However, you must pay attention to the dosage when using it normally.

Oil has the property of vacuuming, and if the amount is too large, the dust will adhere to it, resulting in a greasy and greasy feeling.

The main thing is the lubrication and maintenance of the wardrobe sliding door. The sliding door belongs to the mechanical friction mechanism, and must be lubricated during installation and use. Otherwise, the resistance will be large, and it will become heavier and heavier, and there will be abnormal noises, poor movement, inability to pull and even wear out the slide.

Well-known sliding door brands such as Senge use Hoto Lube's sliding door wheel rail grease. Colorless and transparent, good adhesion, good durability, food-grade safety certification, suitable for household use. There are 130 grams of tubes in the hedge.

When using, apply directly to the slide rails and pulleys, and open and close the sliding door a few times.

Chinese classical furniture includes two aspects, one is the old furniture with collector's value, which mainly refers to the furniture made in the four or five hundred years from the dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, (Yiguxuan classical furniture) This period is the peak era of traditional Chinese furniture manufacturing. This part of the furniture already has cultural heritage value, so it is expensive. Due to the shortage of raw materials, the old furniture bought from the people is getting less and less, and one piece is less than one piece sold, so the old furniture is only up and not down.

The second is to imitate the Ming and Qing Dynasty style furniture, is the modern skilled workers inherited the Ming and Qing Dynasty furniture manufacturing technology and produced and sold furniture, such as the classical furniture should also be made with good materials, so the price is also very expensive. When purchasing imitation classical furniture, it is necessary to distinguish between rosewood and wenge, mahogany and rosewood, which are very elegant. If a piece of classical furniture is labeled mahogany or rosewood, but the price is cheap, it must not be true.

If the price is true, it also depends on its detailed material, because each kind of information is also divided into high, medium and low grades. For example, there are more than a dozen kinds of rosewood, (Yiguxuan classical furniture) when the price of a cubic meter from thousands of yuan to more than 100,000 yuan, as a non-professional consumer is difficult to distinguish, which requires consumers to purchase in the promise of superior manufacturers and shops.

How to buy and protect Chinese classical furniture.

If you fall in love with a piece of expensive classical furniture, you have to find someone who knows how to go with you. When purchasing, we should carefully reflect on the appearance of every part of the furniture, such as whether the feet of classical furniture can be stable; The tenon is tightly connected to check whether there are traces of insect moth; Whether the drawer door opening and closing can be sensitive; Whether the wood grain at the joint is smooth or not, etc.

Classical Chinese furniture is made of tenons and tenons instead of iron nails. Also, the information on classical furniture diverges from that used in modern furniture.

It is necessary to prevent the sun from shining for a long time, so that the moisture inside the wood can easily fall into the balance and form cracks; The temperature difference should not be too large to prevent the air conditioner from switching on and off frequently, resulting in violent temperature changes; Prevent overheated items from being placed directly on the table, which can ruin the exterior of the maintenance paint and wax; Use a soft cotton cloth or a soft brush to wipe it, and prevent the use of metal brushes, stiff brushes or clumsy cloths (Yiguxuan classical furniture); Prevent bumps and scratches from hard objects, especially for children at home; For cork furniture, at least once a month with wax and walnut oil, you can stick to a smooth appearance, moderate gloss. The waxing should not be too dense, otherwise it will clog the pores of the wood.

Mahogany furniture is made of strict materials, rigorous craftsmanship, beautiful shape, and can generally be used for a long time, as evidenced by the fact that the classical furniture of the Ming and Qing dynasties is still intact. However, limited to the natural characteristics of wood expansion and contraction, it is still necessary to pay attention to maintenance.

I think that the maintenance of mahogany furniture must first have a certain understanding of mahogany, understand the common sense and purchase knowledge of mahogany, and then also understand the mahogany market, I suggest that you can enter some professional websites.

1. When placing furniture, pay attention to staying away from heat sources, at least about 1 meter. If the furniture is too close to the heat source, it will quickly cause the moisture in the furniture wood to evaporate too much, causing the joints and tenon joints of the furniture to shrink, and causing the mortise and tenon deformation panel cracking. It is best to rub the back and interior of the furniture with beeswax.

2. Increase the humidity indoors as much as possible. For example, mopping the floor with a damp cloth or using a humidifier and raising fish are good for people and furniture.

3. The furniture should be placed flat and square, and the legs should not be on the same plane. The whole furniture should be perpendicular to the ground, otherwise it is easy to cause the deformation of the whole furniture and the door, and eventually cause the opening of the seam and damage the life of the furniture.

4. Do not use a damp cloth to wipe furniture dust. The dust on the floating surface of the furniture should be gently brushed off first, and then wiped with a cotton dry cloth to avoid particle dust from harming the surface of the furniture and making it unsightly.

7. It is best not to place mahogany furniture directly next to utensils with high humidity.

New furniture sometimes has a sudden loud noise, as long as it is done according to the above requirements will not be a problem, the sound is a normal phenomenon caused by the shrinkage of the furniture panel.
