4 Ways to Maintain Wood Furniture

You love the impeccable and charming inside look of your home when you use wood furniture. The presence of lovely wooden furnishings often gives a natural grounded and delightful ambience to your home. However, when your wood furniture starts to look dull, dingy and old, the problem begins. You find it very important to know ways how to maintain your lovely wood furnishings.

 Here are the four ways to maintain wood furniture:

  1. Protecting against heat and spillage

A simple way that you can maintain your wood furniture is by putting in simple practices that can protect your wood furniture from exposure to heat or substances that can cause wood decay and deterioration. You can simply remember to prevent spillage because spilled drinks or foods may leave residue inside the wood’s internal parts. The drinks and food residue that remains even after wiping can attract bacteria and will hasten the decay process inside the wood.

 

 When you cannot always prevent spillage, you can put covers in place as a first line of defense when accidental spill happen.  In case of dining wooden tables for example, a good table cloth that has decorative value is a great choice. For wooden chairs, covers of various designs and colors are available. Coasters and placemats for use in dining tables also protect your wooden table against heat exposures when hot beverages and hot food are being served in the table.

 

  1. Cleaning Regularly

A simple easy dusting of your wood furniture prevent dirt build-up. This is the easiest way that you can do often to help maintain your wooden furnishing and it does not require a lot of energy. A more intensive deep cleaning using a good cleaning agent formula can be done less often than dusting but is necessary to kill bacteria that can cause decay in your wood furniture. An example of a good cleaning agent for wood is the touch of oranges wood cleaning formula. This organic formula for wood not only cleanses dirt build-up in your wood but also protect your precious wood furnishings from decay.

 

  1. Waxing

Waxing is a very old proven method that helps lengthen the lifetime and beauty of your wood furniture. It involves a simple application of wax solvent resulting in a protective coating that preserve the wood. A great wax solvent is the touch of beeswax formula. The use of this formula gives a lustrous and pristine result that retains the original elegance of your wood furniture.

 

  1. Refinishing

Refinishing is the most time and labor intensive process way to maintain your wood furniture. Wood refinishing involves applying stripper, removing old lining, cleaning, sand smooting, removing stain and coating application. Although having a truly great result, this process is costly. The good news is, if you have applied the previous ways of maintaining your wood furniture by protecting from spillage, dusting and cleaning regularly and waxing as needed, this last step is not necessary.
