Maintenance measures for furniture

Wooden furniture: Keep away from heat sources and air conditioning vents
Most brands of sofas will first treat the moisture content when processing wood. According to professionals, many furniture pieces use solid wood for the load-bearing parts and high-density boards for other parts to prevent seasonal thermal expansion and contraction. Even if the humidity relatively increases in summer, the wood will only expand slightly, and these natural changes will not affect the durability of high-quality furniture.
However, no matter how strong the durability is, furniture has a service life, and in order to extend its service life as much as possible, it is important to learn how to take care of them. Experts suggest that furniture should be kept away from heat sources or air conditioning vents. Solid wood drawers and sliding doors may be difficult to open and close due to excessive expansion. Wax or paraffin can be applied to the edges and bottom slides of drawers and sliding doors.
Fabric sofa: prevent dust from being left in the fibers
In summer, factors such as scorching sun, significant temperature changes, smoking, and pet damage can cause the originally dry and comfortable fabric sofa to become increasingly tense and faded. It is best to regularly use a vacuum cleaner or brush to remove dust from the sofa to prevent dust or stains from remaining in the fibers for a long time.
Leather sofa: frequently wipe the leather surface with a cloth
In summer, it is even more important to pay attention to the maintenance of genuine leather sofas. If not maintained properly for a long time, it can cause fading, aging, and loss of luster, resulting in a lack of elasticity in the leather and deformation of the sofa.
For sofas that have accidentally been stained with oil, use a cotton cloth dipped in a suitable concentration of soapy water or a mixture of ammonia water and alcohol (1 part ammonia water, 2 parts alcohol, 2 parts water) to remove the oil stains. Finally, wipe it clean with water and dry it with a clean cotton cloth. If the sitting area and edges of a leather sofa are frequently patted, it can extend the lifespan of the sofa by 3 to 5 years. Because this can maintain the elasticity of the leather material well.
Tengyi Furniture: Cleaning starts from a young age
Due to the porous nature of rattan furniture and the rampant proliferation of various insects in spring, it is necessary to clean it regularly and thoroughly. One is to check if the paint has peeled off everywhere. If not, you can use a willow or other sharp tool to remove any dirt from the "holes", and then lightly brush the small holes with a toothbrush dipped in soapy water or vegetable oil. If there is paint peeling off, it needs to be repaired on the basis of cleaning.
Synthetic leather: heavy humidity and high temperature avoidance
Due to the different properties of synthetic leather, wood, cotton and linen fabrics, high temperature, high humidity, low temperature, strong light, acidic solutions, and alkaline solutions all have an impact on it. An insider said that maintenance should pay attention to two aspects: firstly, avoid placing it in high temperature places, as this will cause changes in the appearance of synthetic leather and adhesion to each other. When wiping, do not use wet towels or cloths, but use dry cloths; The second is to maintain moderate humidity, as excessive humidity can hydrolyze leather and damage the surface film; If the humidity is too low, it is prone to cracking and hardening.
Maintenance of plastic laminated furniture
Generally speaking, the highest grade plywood furniture belongs to plastic plywood furniture. It was originally a type of solid wood plywood, but due to the more precise manufacturing process of the General Union, it is widely used. However, it is different from a typical three panel board. Due to the fact that high-end furniture brands or imported furniture in Taiwan also use natural wood and plywood as furniture materials, the maintenance of plywood furniture also requires special attention to detail.
1.Due to the ease of assembling plastic plywood, you need to first inquire with the store about the areas to pay attention to during assembly when purchasing. This way, once it becomes loose, you can easily reassemble it yourself.
2.If the skirting board of plastic laminated furniture is a sealed design, you can put some desiccants and insecticides inside before assembly to keep it dry and clean.
3.For dirt on plastic plywood, you can use beer to remove it, and then wipe it with a cloth dipped in water to keep it shiny and new.
4.If there are small scratches on the board surface, you can use crayons with a color similar to the board surface to make up for the scratches, and then apply colorless wax.
5.Plastic plywood has edge sealing treatment to prevent moisture infiltration and protect the lifespan of furniture. And once the phenomenon of detachment is found, you can quickly heat it back and forth with a soft cloth on top of an iron pad to restore it to its original state.
6.VI Plastic laminated furniture drawers are mostly slide type, usually just use candles to apply a layer of wax on the pulleys to maintain smooth sliding.
7 As for regular cleaning, use household cleaning agents to wipe, the only thing to note is not to apply volatile oils.
Metallic glass
Although many metal components of furniture are made of stainless steel, do not wipe them with water, as some minerals in the water can easily react with the metal and cause corrosion. In addition, the glass plate shall be strictly protected from scratches, so it is better to add soft cloth pad or foam when placing things on it. When cleaning, specialized glass water should be used.
