I ve heard people say don t use soapy water and dish soap to clean furniture, and I wonder why

Cleaning products such as soap and water and dish soap can not effectively remove the dust accumulated on the surface of the furniture, nor can they remove the silica sand particles before polishing, but also because they are corrosive, they will damage the surface of the furniture and make the paint surface of the furniture dull. At the same time, if moisture penetrates into the wood, it can also cause mold or local deformation of the wood, shortening the service life. Nowadays, a lot of furniture is made of fiberboard machine pressing, if there is moisture penetrating into it, the first two years because formaldehyde and other additives have not completely volatilized, it is unlikely to mold.

However, once the additives are volatilized, the moisture of the damp cloth will cause the furniture to become moldy, and if the residents on the lower floors are the residents, the furniture at home may be "moldy" every year. Even if some furniture is coated with piano lacquer, which can be properly scrubbed with clean water, do not leave a wet rag on the surface of the furniture for a long time to prevent moisture from seeping into the wood. Oh.
