Proper maintenance keeps the furniture safe for the winter

The winter climate in the north is cold and dry. Many consumers have had such experiences. The furniture purchased in the first year may have cracks in the second year. Indeed, extremely low temperatures, dry weather, and heating and baking are not a small test for furniture. Furniture also needs care, how should the furniture be maintained in winter?

○● Humidity is the key to maintenance

The heating temperature in Henan is generally 18 degrees Celsius. The “baking” of indoor heating is prone to cracks and partial fading. Therefore, humidity is the key to furniture maintenance.

Many readers have reported that after a year of use of solid wood flooring using geothermal heating, cracks have appeared in many places. This is because although the solid wood floor has been dried, there is still some moisture inside. For a long time in a dry and hot indoor environment, wood floors and wooden furniture will completely lose water, resulting in shrinkage deformation and cracks.

Qin Zhe, designer of Huari Home Life Design Department, said that indoor humidification should be moderate in winter. The characteristic hygroscopicity of wood is easy to change with the environment, so it should be evenly humidified. Place the humidifier in a place with moderate ventilation and light. Never close to the furniture. Otherwise, the wood will absorb moisture and expand again. The furniture will crack again in the next year. Mildew. The humidifier is used during the heating period in winter, and the room humidity is controlled at 40% to 60%.

Qin Zhe said that indoor fish culture or planting flowers can also adjust the indoor air humidity to a certain extent.

○●Clean to master the skills

Qu Mei furniture Chu manager told reporters that dust is the first killer for furniture, especially wooden furniture. High-grade log furniture made of mahogany, teak, oak, walnut, etc. are all beautifully carved. If it can't be cleaned regularly, the gap will not only easily accumulate ash, affecting the appearance, but also speed up the aging of the furniture.

Due to the dry climate in winter, the wood is more fragile, and the “baking” of air conditioners or heating, the moisture in the wood is largely lost, the texture will become loose, and the solid floor or furniture is likely to be easily scratched during cleaning.

Therefore, when cleaning, try not to use sharp cleaning tools to touch the surface of the wood. Usually, be careful not to let the hard metal products or other sharp objects directly collide with the furniture to protect the surface from any serious damage.

When wiping furniture, you should not simply wipe it with a damp cloth. Instead, use professional furniture care oil to form an oil film on the surface of the furniture to “lock” the moisture in the wood to prevent the wood from cracking and deforming. Nourishes furniture and extends the life of furniture.

When the liquid containing oil, alkali or acid component erodes the surface of the furniture, it should be treated as soon as possible. It can be wiped with a soft rag or diluted soapy water or shampoo. It is not advisable to use a chemically bright chemical agent to prevent the paint film from being affected. damage.

○● Minimize window opening time

Many residential users with better heating conditions will be ventilated for a long time every day because the indoor temperature is too high. Some readers mistakenly believe that such window ventilation can cause the indoor temperature to drop, and the cracks in wooden furniture will naturally weaken.

In fact, the higher the air temperature, the more saturated the water, that is, the humidity in the house in winter is higher than that in the outdoor. Experts say that the real cause of cracks in furniture comes from humidity, not temperature. Ventilation in winter windows will only allow cold air from outside to make the room drier. Therefore, in winter, the time and number of ventilation of the window should be reduced, and maintaining the proper humidity in the room is the maintenance of wooden furniture.

Based on the same considerations, winter furniture should be placed indoors away from places with strong air flow such as doorways and windows, and should not be placed in places that can be directly exposed to sunlight. This will speed up the aging of the paint film on the furniture surface. Cracking and discoloration occur. Also, do not place the furniture too close to the air outlet of the heating and air conditioning. The high temperature for a long time will cause local cracking and warping of the surface of the wooden furniture.

○● Avoid burns on the surface of furniture

In the cold winter, many people like to eat hot pot or soup food at home, remember to place a heat insulation pad on the utensils and furniture surface. Whether it is wood-like panel furniture or solid wood furniture on painted surfaces, this "scald" is difficult to repair, especially worth noting.
