Quality.

Furniture made of good wood will last a lifetime, and even why so many people collect wood products, because its quality is worth more than its price, so to maintain the quality of this good furniture, you will find the relevant reference knowledge in this article.

1. Regular dusting

Dusting is the basic way to maintain furniture, the air contains many tiny dust particles, and over time will accumulate a film on the woodwork, which will increase the chance of minor scratches on the finish.

How to get the dust off correctly, we recommend using a soft lint-free, or microfiber cloth to wipe, gently dry wipe along the grain to avoid scratching the surface of the wood, if there is a stubborn stain you can slightly wet the cloth to avoid excessive moisture damage to the nature of the wood, and then take a clean dry cloth to wipe dry.

2. Use natural cleaning products

Avoid using harsh or chemically added cleaning agents, which may have some corrosive properties that can harm wooden furniture, choose more natural products to use, such as mild soap and water, neutral detergent, natural dishwashing liquid water, friendly wood cleaning products, or mixed vinegar solution. (You can add a little essential oil to remove dirt on the wood, and eliminate furniture odor can also be used).

3. Polishing and waxing of wooden products

With the use of furniture over time, the finish will inevitably have some aging, we can use a small amount of special furniture wax or beeswax on a clean cloth and wipe gently along the grain of the wood. For the polishing part, please choose a natural silicon-free polish product and wipe it on the surface of the wood in a circular motion to restore the natural luster of the furniture and maintain its beauty for a longer period.

4. Varnish/Paint on the wood

• Varnish:

Clear and odorless, the use of specialized varnish can provide a strong protective layer for your wooden furniture, preventing wood surface discoloration, excellent water resistance to prevent furniture from moisture, and effectively block the sun's UV radiation caused by the bracket cracking, and give a good sense of gloss, while retaining the natural color and grain of the original wood itself.

*Drying time is longer, need to wait 24 hours to start

• Paint:

Different from varnish because it is colored pigments, you can replace your furniture with different colors, the pigments in the paint have a strong resistance to ultraviolet rays, and resistance to decay to reduce the risk of insect infestation and the growth of mold, effectively blocking the effects of outdoor wind, sun, and rain.

*Drying time is relatively short, but it also takes more than 8 hours.

If you need to apply additional varnish or paint to furniture that is already coated, it is recommended to sand the surface to make it look rough so that the paint will adhere better to it.

Avoid doing mine matters on furniture. 

1. Avoid prolonged exposure of wooden furniture to rain.

When purchasing wood furniture, it is important to ensure that the moisture content is below 30% to reduce the chance of wood shrinking or swelling outdoors. Moisture is one of the things that can cause damage to wood products. Long-term accumulation in the wood may lead to deformation of the appearance or durability problems, improper handling is easy to breed bacteria or mold, and the wood will also have moths or decay.

It is recommended to apply water repellent or waterproof spray to outdoor furniture. When it rains or the moisture content is high, you can cover your wooden furniture with furniture covers or tarpaulins, or put it away in winter or when it is not in use to avoid accumulating too much water.

2. The influence of sunlight.

Wooden furniture exposed to sunlight, high temperature, and radiation for a long time, will lead to fading, discoloration, or damage to the situation occurs, including ultraviolet light is the main reason for wood discoloration, and different species of wood in the sunlight changes time and color is not the same, darker wood will become white and bright, and vice versa, it becomes gray, time may also cause the wood cracking situation.

When not in use, it is recommended to put on a furniture cover, or sunscreen, or just put it away first, and regularly apply sealer, varnish, or paint to wooden furniture to effectively prevent UV rays from entering the surface of the wood.

In addition, smaller outdoor furniture can also be configured with a sunshade or umbrella on the side to reduce the damage of direct sunlight while adding a different look to the outdoor area of the house, such as lounge chairs, swing chairs, hammocks, or table and chair sets.

3. Use the product according to the specified weight.

Different materials of furniture have restricted load specifications, please use the products according to the product information given by each manufacturer, and try to avoid overweight or multiple passengers to prevent the furniture support structure from accumulating pressure over time and causing damage.
