Introduction to the four common sense of furniture maintenance
In our home life, our furniture needs maintenance. Different types of furniture and furniture of different materials take different maintenance methods. In daily life, if our furniture is not properly maintained, it is likely to damage the furniture, thereby shortening the life of the furniture. If our maintenance methods are appropriate, then we can extend the life of our furniture. Here, let's take a look.
1. When wiping the furniture, do not use coarse cloth or old clothes that are no longer worn as rags
It is best to wipe the furniture with a cloth with good water absorption such as towel, cotton cloth, cotton fabric or flannel cloth. Coarse cloth, cloth with thread ends, or old clothes with stitches, buttons, etc. that will cause scratches on the surface of the furniture should be avoided as much as possible.
2. Do not use soapy water, detergent or clean water to clean the furniture
Soapy water, detergent and other cleaning products not only cannot effectively remove the dust accumulated on the surface of the furniture, but also cannot remove the silica sand particles before polishing, and because they are corrosive to a certain extent, they will damage the surface of the furniture and make the paint of the furniture The face became dull. At the same time, if moisture penetrates into the wood, it will also cause mold or local deformation of the wood, shortening the service life. Nowadays, many furniture are made of fiberboard machines. If there is moisture seeping in, it is unlikely to become moldy in the first two years because formaldehyde and other additives have not completely evaporated. But once the additives volatilize, the moisture of the wet cloth will cause the furniture to become moldy. If the residents on the lower floors, the furniture in the home may be "mildewed" every year. Here I also want to remind you that even if the surface of some furniture is coated with piano lacquer, it can be properly scrubbed with clean water. Do not leave a wet rag on the surface of the furniture for a long time to prevent moisture from penetrating into the wood.
3. Do not wipe the dust on the surface of the furniture with a dry cloth
Dust is composed of fibers, sand and silica. Many people are used to cleaning and wiping the surface of furniture with a dry rag. In fact, these fine particles have damaged the furniture paint surface during the friction of wiping back and forth. Although these scratches are so slight that they cannot even be seen by the naked eye, over time, the surface of the furniture will become dull and rough, and the brightness will no longer be.
4. Spray wax for furniture care cannot be used to clean and maintain leather sofas
Many furniture care wax spray instructions say that it can be used to maintain leather sofas, causing many housewives to make mistakes. And the salesperson in the furniture store knows that furniture care wax spray can only be used to spray the surface of wooden furniture, not on the sofa. This is because the leather sofa is actually the skin of animals. Once the wax is sprayed on it, the pores of the leather products will be clogged. Over time, the leather will age and shorten its service life. In addition, in order to make the furniture look more shiny, some people apply some wax products directly on the furniture, or use it improperly, which will make the surface of the furniture foggy.
