In daily life, we cannot do without all kinds of furniture. Furniture occupies a large space in the family. Furniture not only facilitates our life, but also makes our family look more beautiful and tidy. However, how to make furniture accompany us more How long? Here are a few tips to teach you.
1. Restoration of small scratches
For veneer and solid wood furniture, refinishing is easy: just buy a wax strip at your local store, and try to match the color of your wood as best as possible. Just paint over the scratches and your job is done. Wax will help you protect your furniture from all kinds of aggressors, and its color will also hide scratches. Then wax this area of the furniture again, making sure the wax covers the scratches and not the bare wood.
2. Let the dust embellish the light
Often use a soft cotton cloth to wipe off the dust on the surface of the furniture along the direction of the grain of the wood. Before dusting, you should dip some detergent on a soft cloth, and be careful not to wipe it with a dry cloth to avoid scratching. After a period of time, wipe off the dust accumulated in the corners of the wooden furniture with a wet cotton thread that has been wrung out, then wipe the whole wooden furniture again, and then dry it with a clean dry soft cotton cloth. You can also apply a thin layer of high-quality light wax after drying, which not only maintains the wooden furniture, but also increases its brightness.
3. Clean
In order to remove traces of pollutants and oily smoke on the surface of the furniture, it is recommended to use a special furniture cleaner, which can also help remove excess wax.
4. Treatment of water marks
Water marks usually take a while to disappear. If it is still visible after a month, use a clean soft cloth lightly coated with salad oil or mayonnaise to wipe along the grain of the water mark. Or you can cover the marks with a damp cloth, and then carefully press the wet cloth several times with an electric iron, and the marks will fade away.
5. Waxing
A small amount of polish on a rag and a quick varnish on furniture is very quick, but often requires two dustings of furniture afterwards. Oil attracts dirt, not resists it. Therefore, once the furniture becomes beautiful and shiny due to oiling, it will quickly become dusty. And a lot of dust will combine with the oil, making the furniture extremely difficult to clean, but prone to scratches. Liquid waxes are somewhat better than polishes in that they create a protective layer on the wood surface that allows dirt to slide off instead of sticking, but they don’t last as long as sanding waxes.
