Winter furniture maintenance skills

In winter, the air humidity is relatively small, and the interior is relatively dry. Therefore, furniture maintenance cannot be ignored. So how do you do winter furniture maintenance?

Keep away from heat sources

In the cold winter, many people like to eat hot pot or soup food at home, remember to place a heat insulation pad on the utensils and furniture surface. Whether it is wood-like panel furniture or solid wood furniture on painted surfaces, this "scald" is difficult to repair, especially worth noting.

Humidity is the key to maintenance

Recently, many readers have reported that after a year of use of solid wood flooring using geothermal heating, cracks have appeared in many places. This is because although the solid wood floor has been dried, there is still some moisture inside. For a long time in a dry and hot indoor environment, wood floors and wooden furniture will completely lose water, resulting in shrinkage deformation and cracks. In winter, the heating temperature is generally 18 degrees Celsius. The indoor heating is “baked”. The furniture is prone to cracks and partial fading. Therefore, humidity is the key to furniture maintenance.

In addition, indoor humidification in winter should also pay attention to moderate. The unique hygroscopicity of wood is easy to change with the environment, so evenly humidify, put the humidifier in a place where ventilation and light are moderate, and never approach.

Good skills in cleaning

For furniture, especially wooden furniture, dust is the first killer. High-grade log furniture made of mahogany, teak, etc. is usually decorated with exquisite carvings. If it can not be cleaned regularly, the gap will not only easily accumulate ash, affecting the appearance, but also speed up the aging of the furniture. Due to the dry climate in winter, the wood is more fragile, and the “baking” of air conditioners or heating, the moisture in the wood is largely lost, the texture will become loose, and the solid floor or furniture is likely to be easily scratched during cleaning. Therefore, when cleaning, try not to use sharp cleaning tools to touch the surface of the wood. Usually, be careful not to let the hard metal products or other sharp objects directly collide with the furniture to protect the surface from any serious damage.

When wiping furniture, you should not simply wipe it with a damp cloth. Instead, use professional furniture care oil to form an oil film on the surface of the furniture to “lock” the moisture in the wood to prevent the wood from cracking and deforming. Nourishes furniture and extends the life of furniture. When the liquid containing oil, alkali or acid component erodes the surface of the furniture, it should be treated as soon as possible. It can be wiped with a soft rag or diluted soapy water or shampoo. It is not advisable to use a chemically bright chemical agent to prevent the paint film from being affected. damage.

Minimize window opening time

The real cause of cracks in furniture comes from humidity, not temperature. The humidity in the house in winter is higher than that in the outdoor. Ventilation in the winter window will only make the outside cold air come in and make the room drier. Therefore, in winter, the time and number of ventilation of the window should be reduced, and maintaining the proper humidity in the room is the maintenance of wooden furniture.

Therefore, winter furniture should be placed indoors away from places with strong air flow such as doorways and windows, and should not be placed in places that can be directly exposed to sunlight. This will accelerate the aging of the paint film on the furniture surface and cause cracking. ,fade. Also, do not place the furniture too close to the air outlet of the heating and air conditioning. The high temperature for a long time will cause local cracking and warping of the surface of the wooden furniture.

Furniture should be regularly maintained

Always use a soft cloth to remove the dust along the texture of the wood. Before dusting, spray the spray on the soft cloth. The newly purchased furniture should be regularly maintained for three months, six months, and one year to supplement the beeswax (ie, the waxing process). Make the furniture appear as soon as possible. It not only increases the beauty of the furniture but also prolongs the service life of the furniture.

These furniture maintenance tips are expected to help you have a warm and comfortable living space during this cold winter.
