How To Maintain Wooden Products

‌Maintenance of wood products mainly includes the following aspects‌:

‌Control humidity and temperature‌: Wood products are very sensitive to changes in humidity and temperature. An overly dry environment may cause wood to shrink and crack, while an overly humid environment can easily cause wood to swell and mold. Therefore, keep the indoor humidity between 40%-60%, and use a humidifier or dehumidifier to adjust it‌. In addition, avoid direct sunlight and drastic temperature changes, as this will cause the wood to lose its luster and fade in color‌.

‌Regular cleaning and maintenance‌: Clean the dust and stains on the surface of wood products regularly, and avoid using detergents containing corrosive chemicals. Dust can be removed with a soft damp cloth or vacuum cleaner, and regular care should be carried out with a special solid wood furniture maintenance oil to enhance the luster and protective properties of the wood‌. For smaller cracks, wood wax or glue can be used for filling and repair; larger cracks require professional carpentry treatment‌.

‌Prevent physical damage‌: Avoid dragging sharp or rough objects on the surface of wood products to prevent scratches and wear. Use insulation pads to protect the desktop and avoid placing overheated objects directly on wood products‌. In addition, avoid heavy objects and insects, regularly check whether the wood products have signs of damage or insects, and deal with them in time.

Fire and chemical corrosion prevention: Wood products are easy to burn, so they should be kept away from fire sources when stored, and avoid contact with open flames and high-temperature objects. At the same time, avoid using chemical solvents to clean the surface of wood products to avoid damaging the wood.
