Maintenance of wooden furniture <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Maintenance of wooden or other material furniture is an activity that every owner should engage in from time to time. In order to make it work out as well as possible, here are some of the more common questions that arise in this regard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is the maintenance of wooden furniture complicated, expensive and time-consuming?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the finish, wooden furniture is generally maintenance-free. If you choose painted, varnished, stained and lacquered surfaces, then nothing more needs to be done besides normal maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Routine maintenance of wooden furniture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Routine maintenance of wooden furniture is not complicated. This includes wiping the furniture with a damp cloth and nothing more. However, this is an activity that needs to be done regularly, otherwise dust (which is a slightly abrasive substance) can cause light scratches on your furniture over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For routine maintenance, you can get a regular microfiber or cotton cloth and lightly dampen the surfaces. No separate substance is needed for cleaning, just a cloth dampened with ordinary water fits well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note, however, that the cloth should be slightly damp and not wet. A cloth that is too wet can damage your wooden furniture, so you can use a dry cloth to replace it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maintenance of oil waxed wooden furniture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The maintenance of wooden furniture finished with oil wax is a bit more complicated, because here everything depends on both the wax manufacturer and the activity of use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example: If a chest of drawers covered with oil wax requires a change every few years, then a kitchen countertop in a very active use would like a new layer every couple of months. But again, it all depends on the activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally, work surfaces are re-oiled once or twice a year. We call such care \u2013 the \u201cChristmas and Midsummer fresh look for the kitchen\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is another good thing about oil wax that needs to be mentioned separately. Namely, if you have damaged the surface, you can sand out and re-finish the damage yourself with household tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You do not need to use the service of an expert, but you can probably solve the problem yourself with handy tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
