Furniture can be
the must-have in decorating a room. Without furniture, it is an empty room. But
having kings of furniture isn't enough, you have to care and protect them in
good condition. You should choose the best furniture polish to obtain successful furniture care. Here are some useful tips
for your reference.
Most furniture is
made from wood and the tips are for caring the wooden furniture.
1. You should
firstly give a complete clean for the furniture. Use warm water and mild dish
soap that won't hurt it and be careful not to soak it. Use an old toothbrush
for hard-to-get areas. Wipe the dirt off the surface with soft cloths until
they come up fairly clean.
2. Then you can use
a good-quality soft paste wax. Apply a thin coat
as directed on the label. Wait five minutes and buff lightly with a soft brush
or cloth. Wait another half hour and brush again with a bit more vigor. This
will return beautiful shine for furniture.
3. After
polishing, keep your furniture out of the sun. The temperature of the summer
sun coming through a window can go above 140 degrees. It will cook fine
finishes, fading and destroying them over time, and dry out and shrink the
wood, which will cause cracks.
4. Get rid of
keeping your wood furniture near heating units or vents. Dry heat will cause
the wood to dry and shrink, leaving cracks. Use a humidifier in the drier
months to bring the moisture up to the 40 percent level.
5. For a quick-fix
touch up, use the appropriate color shoe polish on scratches and chips,
especially to make them less visible on the feet of furniture. Carefully using
a matching-color felt-tip marker first will hide it even better.
6. You can also use
a quality metal polish to get furniture shining again. Once it's buffed, put it
back on, being careful not to scratch the wood surfaces. You couldn't try to do
this all at one time. It can be a lot of work, so take a few days, doing a few
pieces at a time, instead of getting tired and frustrated with trying to do too
much.
After these steps,
you can have a new shining look of furniture. If you are interesting in information
about how to buy a good future, the following information can help you. When
shopping for new or antique furniture, look at the back, inside and undersides
of furniture and drawers. Many times it tells you more about quality than looking
at the show side.
Last but not the
least, it is about restoring or refinishing an older or antique piece of
furniture to its original glory. You have to pay attention to the change of
furniture. Apply bug spray if there are some
insect may damage it. Regular cleaning is the basic for successful furniture
