You just purchased a beautiful piece of wood furniture from Bel Furniture, and you want to make sure that it stays looking its best. You’ve come to the right place! Keeping your wood furniture clean and properly cared for is essential if you want it to last. Let’s review some tips on how to care for your wood furniture.

Cleaning Your Wood Furniture

The first step in caring for your wood furniture is understanding how to clean it properly. A soft cloth should be used with a mild soap and water solution. Don’t use too much water, as this can damage the finish of the wood. After wiping down the surface, use a dry cloth to remove any remaining moisture. If there are hard-to-remove stains on the surface, try using a mixture of baking soda and vinegar or lemon juice to gently scrub away the stain without damaging the finish of the wood.

Polishing Your Wood Furniture

After cleaning your furniture, you may want to polish it so that it has a nice shine. You can purchase a commercial wood polish product from most stores; simply follow the instructions on the bottle for best results. Make sure that you apply an even coat over the entire piece of furniture so that all areas are evenly polished and protected against dirt and grime accumulation. Avoid using too much polish on any one spot as this can cause discoloration or even damage certain finishes.                                                                                              

Protecting Your Wood Furniture From Sunlight Damage

Wood is vulnerable to sun damage; exposure over time can cause fading or discoloration. To protect your furniture from sunlight damage, keep it out of direct sunlight whenever possible and draw curtains when needed during bright days or seasons when UV rays are more intense (especially during hot summer days). Additionally, use seat cushions or pads when sitting on wooden chairs or benches; this will not only help protect them from sun damage but also wear-and-tear due to frequent use!

Other Precautions: Dust, Use Coasters, Layer Placemats, Avoid Harsh Chemicals

To keep your wooden furniture looking its best and lasting for years to come, following a cleaning schedule is key. Make sure to dedicate extra attention to the areas of wood that receive more use over time--dusting every six months should do it!

Layering with tablecloths or placemats can add another layer of protection from potential damages as well always using coasters on surfaces where drinks are served helps guard against stubborn water rings — humidifiers / dehumidifiers work great too in regulating temperature which otherwise could warp our precious pieces. To complete these precautions, avoid cleaners consisting of bleach and alcohol because they'll strip away color through both natural and artificial light sources so be sure put space between them when necessary.
