Heating in the winter will increase the temperature in the room, but it will also dry the room. Have you ever thought that a dry environment will damage or even destroy your solid wood furniture? If your home is a whole wood home improvement, you should pay attention to it. Then, while fully enjoying the warmth of winter, how can we maintain the solid wood furniture?

Furniture maintenance method 1: Maintain indoor humidity

Solid wood is susceptible to environmental humidity and changes in swelling and shrinkage. The cold in the winter causes the air moisture to decrease, coupled with the heating equipment baking or air conditioning heating, household furniture, office furniture, etc. are more likely to crack, and even faded, so humidity is the key to furniture maintenance.

The indoor air in the winter is relatively dry, which is easy to cause cracking that is difficult to repair. You can improve (increase) the indoor humidity by using a humidifier, placing a basin of water or some green plants indoors, effectively solving the cracking of solid wood furniture. In addition, the moisturizing of wooden furniture can also use professional furniture care essential oil, which contains natural orange oil absorbed by wood fiber, which can lock the moisture in the wood, prevent the wood from cracking and deforming, nourish the wood and extend the furniture. The service life is to avoid the furniture from getting wet.

Keep the indoor humidity, but do not place the office furniture in a damp place, put it in a relatively humid space, may cause the wooden office furniture to wet and swell, the time is long and it is easy to rot, and the drawer can not be opened. Usually we should control the air humidity to 40% -60%.

Furniture maintenance method 2: stay away from heat source

In the winter, the furniture should be placed away from the heat source, at least about 1 meter. Because the furniture is too close to the heat source, it will easily cause the furniture to crack. The solid wood drawers and sliding doors may be difficult to open and close due to excessive expansion. If you eat hot pot or soup food at home, remember to put a heat insulation mat. Because furniture burns is very difficult to repair.

Furniture maintenance method three: reduce the window opening time

In winter, the time and number of ventilation of the window should be minimized. The real cause of cracks in furniture comes from humidity, not temperature. Opening the window in winter will make the outside cold air come in and make the room dry. Therefore, winter furniture should be placed indoors away from windows, doorways, etc. Although the autumn sun is not as strong as the summer, the long-term sun and the already dry climate, the wood is too dry, prone to cracks and local fading.

Many people have such a wrong understanding that the indoor temperature is high, and windows should be opened to keep the furniture ventilated to prevent furniture cracking. In fact, the higher the indoor temperature, the more saturated the air, the more water content, that is, the indoor humidity is higher than the outdoor. The real cause of cracks in furniture is humidity rather than temperature. So when you open the window, you can exchange the cold air outside to make the room dry. Therefore, ventilation time should be reduced during the winter, which is the correct way to maintain the furniture.

Furniture Maintenance Method 4: Avoid direct sunlight

Although the winter sun is not as strong as the summer, the long-term sun and the already dry climate, the wood is too dry, prone to cracks and local fading.

Long-term sun exposure combined with the already dry climate, the wood is too dry, prone to cracks and local fading. Winter furniture should be placed indoors away from places with strong air flow such as doorways, windows, and vents, and should not be placed in direct sunlight, which will crack and fade furniture. Do not place it near the air conditioner, because prolonged exposure to higher temperatures will cause local cracking, warping and localized deterioration of the paint film.

Furniture Maintenance Method 5: Do a good job of cleaning and maintenance

Never underestimate the dangers of dust on furniture. It is said that the life of many wooden furniture is mainly affected by dust. Furniture maintenance should not be simply wiped with a damp rag, but a professional furniture care essential oil should be used. Furniture should be maintained regularly. Under normal circumstances, only one wax can be used every quarter, so that the furniture looks shiny and the surface does not vacuum, it is easier to clean.

If the home or office has furniture made of high-grade wood such as mahogany, oak and teak, then the exquisite carving decoration is definitely indispensable. It is precisely these fine places that are easy to accumulate dust. If it cannot be cleaned frequently, it will speed up the aging of wooden furniture. . But be careful when cleaning, try not to use hard cleaning tools, or it is easy to scratch the furniture. Because of the dry climate in winter and the baking of heating, the moisture loss of the furniture is severe and the texture becomes loose. When the liquid containing oil, alkali or acid ingredients erodes the surface of the furniture, use a soft rag 蘸 1 to 20 soapy water or 1 to 10 shampoo to mix thoroughly and wipe. It is not suitable to use chemical brightener to avoid sticking of the paint film. damage.
