Wood Furniture Care Tips & Tricks
Wood furniture is a beautiful and timeless addition to any home. However, wood can be delicate. If you aren't careful, your wood furniture will begin to show signs of wear and tear over time. Wood furniture should be cared for just like any other piece that you want to last for years when in good condition. This means that regular cleaning will keep your piece looking new and healthy. You'll also want to protect it from moisture as well as stains due to spills or other accidents so that it lasts as long as possible!

The best way to clean wood furniture is with water and an old toothbrush, as you’re likely to get into all the nooks and crannies that other cleaners miss (which is good news for your wallet). Be sure not to use steel wool or scouring pads; these can scratch the surface of your piece when cleaning!
Tung Oil - the ultimate protection
Tung oil is a natural oil that can be used to protect wood from stains, water and other damaging elements. It penetrates the wood, so it will not leave a shiny finish behind.
Tung oil has been used for centuries by many cultures around the world as an effective method of preserving their favorite furniture pieces. This natural product is applied in three coats: first dry-sanding, then wet sanding followed by another dry-sanding step to ensure full protection against dirt and grime while leaving no residue behind on your piece of furniture!
Maintenance
- Use a soft cloth, not a sponge.
- Use gentle cleaners to remove dirt and grime without scratching the surface of your furniture. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasives on wood surfaces—they can damage it over time!
- Regularly cleaning and dusting
- Waxing and polishing
- Re-oiling
- Storing in a cool, dry place
Be careful, take care
Clean and polish regularly. Wood furniture should be cleaned with a soft cloth or chamois, not a harsh chemical or solvent. If your furniture is scratched or dented, this may be due to people who have used it before you got it.
Don’t use abrasive cleaners on wood furniture; these can scratch the surface of the wood and leave dark marks that are difficult to remove. Instead of using abrasives, try using warm water and mild soap—this will take out dirt without scratching the surface!
