Furniture is the protagonist in the home environment, and its own maintenance is very important. Care and comfort should be taken care of it.

Solid wood furniture is simple, natural and dignified, but it is easily deformed due to changes in its moisture content, so it requires special care. Especially in the hot summer, you can't let the sun shine directly for a long time, not too cold or hot. An environment that is too dry and humid is not suitable for solid wood furniture. If the temperature and humidity change is too large due to frequent switching of the air conditioner, even the qualified solid wood furniture products sometimes undergo deformation and cracking.

First, the maintenance of common problems

1. Repair of scratches and dents: A simpler method is to apply a similar color of shoe polish to the surface of the furniture with a cotton ball or a brush.

2. Remove the water trace: Spread it on the water trace with clean absorbent paper, press it on the heated iron, or apply it with salad oil or toothpaste, then dry it and wax it.

3. Remove the white mark: use a cloth dampened with a mixture of soot and lemon juice or salad oil, wipe dry and wax.

Second, daily maintenance

Furniture is actually very delicate, so usually protect as much as possible, try to avoid the furniture surface from corrosive liquids, alcohol, nail polish, hot cups and so on.

Specific maintenance methods:

1. Always use a soft cloth to remove the dust along the texture of the wood. Before dusting, apply a spray on the soft cloth (Billy beads, etc.). Do not use a dry cloth to wipe the flowers.

2. Avoid letting the sun shine on the surface of the furniture for a long time, so that it is easy to make the internal moisture of the wood out of balance and cause cracks.

3. In the drier environment in summer, artificial humidification measures should be used regularly to supplement the excessive loss of water, such as wiping the furniture with a soft cloth and wet water.

4. Regular waxing, every 3 months, a layer of wax on the furniture. Before using the glazing wax in the furniture, check if the surface of the lacquer is intact. For newer solid wood furniture, first wipe the surface with a fine cotton cloth. For stains that have been left for too long or difficult to remove, use a cotton cloth with a small amount of gasoline or alcohol. Then use a small piece of cotton cloth to spread a large amount of glazing wax, and then use a large dry cloth to wipe the wax evenly in a circular block, so as not to leave traces as the standard. kD fruit wax is used too much, not only will leave streaks and markings, affecting the gloss, and for a long time, it will soften the paint layer and it is not easy to remove. Moreover, 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.

5. Maintain good humidity, ideal humidity is about 40%. If you use cold air for a long time, you can put water on the side. The temperature difference should not be too large, avoiding the air conditioner opening and closing, causing the temperature to change drastically.

6. Overheated items should be placed directly on the surface of the furniture, which would damage the protective paint and wax on the furniture surface.

7. Use a soft cotton cloth or a soft brush to avoid using a metal brush, a hard brush or a rough cloth to avoid scratching the furniture surface.
