Furniture cosmetologist teaches you how to maintain furniture without injury

Currently, there aren't many furniture beauticians available in the market. Not every brand furniture store has a dedicated professional to handle cosmetic repairs on their after-sales products. As a result, when consumers face furniture damage, it can be quite challenging to get it fixed properly.

The issue might stem from improper usage or inadequate maintenance of the furniture. That's why furniture beauticians are here to offer some practical tips to help you maintain your furniture and avoid costly repairs down the line.

1. Avoid Direct Sunlight

Although autumn sunlight isn't as intense as summer, prolonged exposure to the sun combined with dry weather can cause wood to become too dry, leading to cracks and discoloration over time.

Maintaining mahogany furniture requires specific knowledge, and many people are eager to learn more about how to care for their valuable pieces.

2. Prevent Dust Accumulation

High-end wooden furniture made from mahogany, teak, oak, or walnut often features intricate carvings. If not cleaned regularly, dust can settle into the crevices, damaging the appearance. Dust is one of the main causes of premature aging in wooden furniture.

3. Keep It Moisturized

Wooden furniture should not be cleaned with wet rags, as this can lead to moisture damage. Instead, use professional furniture care oil that contains natural orange oil. This helps the wood absorb moisture, prevents cracking and warping, and keeps the furniture looking beautiful and well-maintained for longer.

4. Avoid Hard Scratches

Be careful not to let cleaning tools come into contact with the furniture. Also, avoid placing sharp objects or metal items near the furniture to prevent scratches and unsightly marks on the surface.

5. Prevent Excess Moisture

Do not place wooden furniture in overly humid areas, as this can cause the wood to swell and warp. It may also lead to decay and difficulty in opening drawers.

6. Regular Maintenance

For normal upkeep, applying wax once every three months is sufficient. This will keep the furniture shiny, reduce dust buildup, and make cleaning easier.

If you already have small stains on your furniture, there are simple solutions. To cover scratches or dents, you can use a cotton ball or brush to apply a matching color shoe polish. For water stains, press clean paper towels onto the stain and then use a warm iron. Alternatively, apply salad oil or toothpaste, then wipe the area clean and apply wax for a smooth finish.
