Maintaining the Elegance of Your Wooden Furniture

Wood furniture offers enduring style, but demands regular attention to maintain its value and appeal. At Berkeley Mills, we craft custom-made wooden furniture that’s intended to age gracefully. Follow these expert tips to keep your pieces in excellent condition.

1. Routine Dusting and Cleaning

Everyday particles reduce the shine of wooden surfaces. Regular cleaning keeps surfaces pristine.

• Opt for Gentle Materials: Keep surfaces smooth by sticking to non-abrasive options.
• Steer Clear of Strong Agents: Avoid abrasive substances that are designed for wood.
• Wipe Down Thoroughly: Standing water could create stains. Always eliminate water residue.

2. Protect from Environmental Damage

Wood can suffer from environmental factors. Preventive care ensure its longevity.

• Shield from Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sun causes fading. Protect with UV-blocking films.
• Control Moisture Levels: Too much humidity can warp wood. Monitor with a hygrometer.
• Keep Away from Heat Sources: Fluctuating temperatures cause irreparable damage. Keep out of drafty areas.

3. Simple Ways to Protect

Spills and scuffs diminish the appeal. Adding an extra barrier is an easy solution.

• Use Protective Tableware: Hot cups can leave marks. Use barriers for liquids.
• Surface Protectors: Rough bottoms cause surface damage. Add cushioning.
• Cover Large Areas: High-traffic areas lead to faster aging. Use durable linens to ensure protection.

4. Breathe New Life Into Your Furniture

Even with meticulous care, furniture might need some help. Minor repairs can bring it back to life.

• Surface Revival: Gentle buffers can restore sheen.
• Restoring Color: Extensive wear benefit from professional care. Leave it to trained hands if the task is complex.

5. Invest in Proper Cleaning Agents

Inappropriate cleaning agents might strip finishes. Always opt for wood-specific items.

• Steer Clear of Harsh Agents: Abrasive agents leave residues. Stick to mild alternatives.
• Opt for Appropriate Solutions: Specific treatments thrive with dedicated solutions. Read labels carefully.
