Simple Tips That Help Your Furniture Last Longer
2
Minimal exposure to sunlight
One important tip in furniture maintenance is
ensuring that wooden furniture isnt exposed to
sunlight for long periods. Prolonged exposure
leads to fading of the wood. To avoid this cover
the table with good quality cloth, rotate or move
the furniture regularly. Adding a window film,
thick blinds or curtains also mitigate the
harmful sun rays to a good extent. Leather
couches must be conditioned regularly to avoid
cracking.

Beware of extreme temperatures
A very common misadventure we are all of guilty
of is placing really hot mugs or cold jars on
wooden tables. This invariably leaves a mark on
the table. So, taking extra care to avoid such
mishaps helps sustain furniture in the long run.
Always use coasters or trivets to prevent this
type of damage.

Basic dusting and wiping
A simple yet right amount of dusting the
furniture at home on a weekly basis or even a
daily basis makes for a spic and span room. Use a
soft, dry cloth to wipe off the dust from
furniture, nooks, and crannies.
5
Oil and Wax treatments
Oil and wax add a protective layer to the
furniture thereby improving the look and shine of
the piece. However, many people overdo the polish
and wax leading to a built-up residue and
stripping the wood of its natural finish. A
single coat once a year is a great way to restore
the furniture. Also, it is very important to
ensure the furniture is dusted well before
applying any protective layer to it.
6
Cleaning it right
Using warm water with mild soap cleans furniture
well. Just make sure the water doesnt sit on the
furniture for long. Wipe off the residual
moisture with a dry cloth.
