Maintaining the Elegance of Your Wooden Furniture

Wood furniture provides warmth and sophistication, but demands regular attention to stay in pristine condition. At Berkeley Mills, we build handcrafted wooden furniture that’s intended to age gracefully. Follow these proven tips to care for your wood furniture.

1. Routine Dusting and Cleaning

Dust, dirt, and grime can diminish the beauty of wood. Regular cleaning ensures lasting beauty.

• Opt for Gentle Materials: Safeguard against damage by opting for smooth textiles.
• Use Gentle Cleaners: Avoid abrasive substances that keep your pieces intact.
• Wipe Down Thoroughly: Standing water may cause warping. Always dry immediately after cleaning.

2. Environmental Protection Tips

Wood can suffer from temperature shifts, humidity, and sunlight. Proactive measures protect your pieces.

• Keep Out of Direct Sunlight: Continuous sunlight damages wood over time. Rearrange to avoid sunlight.
• Maintain Stable Humidity: Moist environments can warp wood. Monitor with a hygrometer.
• Regulate Temperature Around Furniture: Excessive heat weaken wood. Ensure even room temperatures.

3. Safeguard Surfaces with Pads

Accidental damage might harm your furniture. Adding an extra barrier prevents unnecessary wear.

• Use Protective Tableware: Condensation cause unsightly stains. Prevent contact with surfaces.
• Cushioning Pads: Heavy objects harm the finish. Install protectors.
• Full Surface Protection: Parties and gatherings mean more potential damage. Pick stylish coverings to add a layer of safety.

4. Touch-Up Aging Furniture

Even with meticulous care, furniture requires occasional restoration. Restoring or refinishing can bring it back to life.

• Waxing: Gentle buffers adds a protective layer.
• Professional Refinements: Noticeable discoloration require skilled intervention. Hire a professional if you’re unsure.

5. Invest in Proper Cleaning Agents

Unsuitable solutions may weaken furniture. Always pick finishes-friendly cleaners.
