Tips on Maintaining Wooden Furniture

Wooden furniture adds a sense of allure and vintage charm to your home. Any wooden piece is a center piece worthy of all attention. It is for this very reason that one must give its maintenance extra care and attention. But it’s extremely important to know what helps and what does not.  

Here are just a few tips that could help you maintain your wooden furniture in Pittsburgh better...

    

Minimize Sun Light

Be careful about exposing wooden furniture to sunlight for prolonged time periods. It results in a phenomenon called ‘spotting’ where bright and dark spots appear across the cross-section. On a wooden table, you could use a tablecloth to effectively mitigate its effect.




Keep Away Sharp Objects

You should be very careful about not letting sharp objects too close to wooden furniture pieces. A scratch never looks good. Never. 


Oil and Wax Regularly

Oiling and waxing wood is highly recommended since it gives it a shiny varnish to it. Also,   it adds a protective layer, a coating on the surface thereby enlivening its appearance. If you could oil and wax your wooden units once in three months, it’ll be wonderful.




Dust Well

A sparkling piece of furniture makes for a sparkling room. And the right amount of dusting helps in doing so. Make sure you use a soft, dry cotton cloth to wipe any dust off. If you could clean your sofas, tables, etc. on a bi-monthly basis, then there’s nothing like it.
