What should be paid attention to when maintaining solid wood furniture in winter?

What should be noted for winter furniture maintenance? Usually, solid wood furniture should be evenly coated with specialized cleaning agents or maintenance wax on the outside of the furniture, and then quietly wiped to maintain its luster and moisture resistance. In recent years, solid wood furniture has been sought after and loved by people for its superior environmental protection functions. So, how to maintain solid wood furniture? The base material of solid wood furniture mostly comes from natural logs, which are expensive. Most brands of furniture have achieved simultaneous edge sealing on all four sides of the board, avoiding situations where the edges are not tightly sealed. Pay attention to waterproofing, install waterproof pads under furniture legs that are prone to water absorption, and maintain good ventilation intervals near exterior walls and bathroom walls. Wood/panel furniture base board furniture has a beautiful appearance and a moderate price. Due to the need for edge sealing during the production process of the substrate to block air and moisture, some small manufacturers have immature skills and lax edge sealing, which can easily lead to the absorption of moisture by the board and cause furniture expansion and damage. Humidity is the most important factor for furniture maintenance in winter.

The dry climate in winter, coupled with the use of heating equipment, reduces air humidity, so it is even more important to pay attention. Wooden furniture is prone to fading or localized cracking. So pay attention to indoor moisturizing work. Planting green plants indoors, using humidifiers or placing a basin of clean water can increase indoor humidity and provide suitable temperature for furniture. In addition, professional furniture care essential oils can lock in moisture, prevent furniture from cracking and deforming, and extend its service life. It is advisable to maintain indoor humidity between 40% and 60%. If it's too damp, wooden furniture will expand when it gets wet, and over time it's easy to rot and drawers won't open. Never underestimate the harm of dust to furniture, as dust can also affect the lifespan of furniture. Furniture wood carving is prone to dust accumulation, and if not cleaned regularly, it can accelerate the aging process. Therefore, in order to maintain aesthetics and extend the service life of furniture, we must do a good job in daily cleaning of furniture. When cleaning, be careful not to use hard tools as they can easily scratch furniture. Do not rinse with water or wipe with an unturned cloth directly, as this can easily cause furniture to become damp and moldy.
Furniture should be placed away from direct sunlight. If furniture is exposed to sunlight for a long time, it will lose moisture and easily crack and become brittle. At the same time, it should be noted that furniture should not be placed in places with strong air flow such as doors, windows, or vents, as it can accelerate water loss. If you want to bask in the sun without damaging your furniture, you can use semi transparent blackout curtains to block out some of the sunlight. In winter, furniture should try to avoid being too close to heat sources, as long-term exposure to high temperatures can cause local cracking, warping, deformation, and paint film deterioration. If you are eating hotpot or soup at home, remember to put a heat insulation pad because furniture burns are difficult to repair. Treating furniture like treating one's own body, skincare in winter and sun protection in summer. As long as furniture is properly maintained, it can be used for a long time.
