How To Protect And Increase The Life Of Your Wooden Furniture

A quick read on how to protect your wooden furniture from damage.

Wooden furniture needs care and attention

Wooden furniture is a design statement. It adds sophistication and character to the overall décor of your facility. It’s usually the first piece of attraction for your visitors. No wonder, restaurants and cafes prefer to have wooden furniture. Having said this, it takes effort to retain the gloss on the wooden surface. Fine wooden furniture could last for generations with good care.

However, taking care of the wooden furniture isn’t only about regularly dusting it. You need to follow the below tips to make sure your wooden furniture stays prim and proper in any season for years to come.

Tips to protect wooden furniture

  • Use a coaster on the furniture’s surface when placing drink glasses, jugs, hot utensils or warm food boxes. Avoid placing them directly on the furniture to protect against water rings and heat marks.
  • Keep furniture dry. Prolonged moisture accumulation or dampening of wood could damage the finish and warp the wood
  • Apply water sealant to the furniture to retain the look of the wood. The water sealant helps to:
    • Protect against moisture.
    • Dry up damp wood faster.
    • Retain the colour.
  • Clean up spills as soon as you spot them. If water or other liquids settle on a wood surface, they seep through the pores in the varnish coating, into the wood, and stain it. Use blotting action instead of wiping. This step will avoid spreading the liquid over a greater area.
  • Never let spills dry. This negligence could leave the surface with a permanent stain. Avoid using sharp objects to remove spilt or dried up food from the surface.
  • Avoid using any cover with a rubber, plastic or vinyl backing. The chemicals in these materials could react with the furniture’s finish and damage the surface.
  • When using candles, use a felt protector with a plastic top. If candle wax drops onto the wooden surface, apply an ice cube onto the spilled wax until it goes hard and brittle, and then use a credit/debit card or a plastic spatula to gently scrape the wax off the surface. After removing the candle wax, polish the surface with beeswax polish and buff away any remaining residue.
  • Keep your furniture away from direct sunlight to avoid premature ageing. Similarly, keep it away from radiators and air conditioning units, as extreme changes in temperature could cause the wood to dry, crack or warp.
  • Polish the wood every year to retain its luster. This step prevents wax build-up and also protects the surface from moisture and dust.
  • Dust and clean your furniture regularly to avoid the surface from turning grimy. It is preferable to use a pure cotton cloth to avoid scratching and smudges, and will also give the surface a soft shine. For heavily soiled surfaces, use Crew Furniture Cleaner and Maintainer
