Tips
Regular Dusting
Dust your furniture frequently using a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent the buildup of dirt and grime that can scratch the surface.
Avoid Direct Sunlight
Keep your wooden furniture out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, warping, or cracking. Use curtains or blinds to protect it from harsh sunlight.
Use Coasters and Mats
Place coasters, mats, or felt pads under items like glasses, hot dishes, and vases to prevent stains, water rings, and heat damage.
Maintain Humidity Levels
Wood expands and contracts with changes in humidity. Keep your home’s humidity level between 40-45% to minimize the risk of warping or splitting.
Clean Spills Immediately
Wipe up any spills right away with a dry or slightly damp cloth to avoid stains and water damage.
Polish with Care
Use a high-quality furniture polish or wax occasionally to restore the shine and protect the surface. Avoid over-polishing, as it can lead to a buildup.
Protect from Scratches
Avoid dragging heavy objects across the surface. Use protective pads under furniture legs and avoid placing sharp objects directly on the wood.
Recondition Periodically
Consider reconditioning your wooden furniture with a wood conditioner or oil treatment to nourish the wood and maintain its natural luster.
Keep Away from Heat Sources
Position your wooden furniture away from heat sources like radiators, fireplaces, or heating vents to prevent drying out or cracking.
