The breeze is gentle, the water is still, and before we know it, summer has quietly approached us, carrying her unique and vigorous fragrance. She may not have the vibrant colors of spring, the abundant fruits of autumn, or the beautiful trees and silver flowers of winter, but she has vividly painted a beautiful picture of pink peaches and green willows with her bright sunshine.

In this summer filled with birdsong and cicadas, are you enjoying the company of your favorite solid wood furniture? The refreshing and calming solid wood furniture will capture every moment of your summer with you. So, how can we maintain our favorite solid wood furniture this summer?

Now let me introduce to you the summer care of solid wood furniture, the protagonist of this painting:

1. Adjust indoor temperature and humidity according to climate changes

The moisture content of solid wood furniture is controlled between 8 and 14 degrees. When the air humidity is lower than 12 degrees, solid wood furniture will shrink, and when it exceeds 16 degrees, it will expand.

Summer weather changes dramatically and complexly, with significant regional variations. Inland areas are dry and hot, while coastal areas are humid and muggy. Therefore, if your home is located in a hot inland area, you should pay attention to increasing the humidity when maintaining your solid wood furniture. You can raise fish and flowers in rooms where solid wood furniture is placed. This not only beautifies the indoor environment but also helps regulate the indoor air humidity. If conditions permit, you can also use a humidifier to spray the furniture. If your home is located in a humid and muggy coastal area, you should focus on dehumidifying your solid wood furniture to prevent it from swelling due to moisture. This is usually done by turning on the air conditioner. Regularly turning on the air conditioner can remove moisture, reduce the moisture absorption and expansion of the wood, and prevent the mortise and tenon joints from swelling, deformation, and cracking due to moisture. Also, when using the air conditioner, be sure to maintain a temperature between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius, and keep the furniture away from the air outlet to prevent the large temperature difference from damaging the furniture or prematurely aging it.

2. It is not advisable to use walnut oil to maintain solid wood furniture in summer

If the climate is dry in the summer (especially in the arid areas in the north), experts recommend that it is best to care for solid wood furniture every 20-40 days. However, the moisture of solid wood furniture cannot be provided by water, nor can it be simply wiped with a wet cloth, because if there is liquid on the surface of solid wood furniture for a long time, it will leave marks on the surface of the furniture.

Therefore, solid wood furniture should be maintained with professional solid wood furniture maintenance wax, because it contains natural orange oil that is easily absorbed by wood fibers, which can lock in moisture in the wood, prevent the wood from drying out and deforming, and nourish the wood, thereby restoring the solid wood furniture from the inside out and extending the life of the furniture. However, using walnut oil to nourish solid wood furniture in the summer can easily leave sweat marks on the solid wood furniture surface, so it is best not to use walnut oil for solid wood furniture maintenance in the summer.

In addition, before waxing, you should first use mild non-alkaline soapy water to wipe off the long-lasting wax, otherwise it will clog the capillary pores of the wood. In addition, the drawers and sliding doors of solid wood furniture may be difficult to open and close due to excessive expansion. You can apply wax on the edges and bottom slides of the drawers and sliding doors to facilitate opening and closing.

3. Don’t store too many clothes in your wardrobe in summer

In summer, more clothes need to be stored, especially in winter, which are thicker and heavier. However, the clothes stored in the cupboard cannot exceed the door frame. If you often force clothes into the closet, it may cause the door to deform.

Summer is undoubtedly a challenging season for solid wood furniture. Sometimes, the weather can be extremely dry and sunny for days on end, while other times, it can be overcast and rainy with high humidity. This kind of weather can easily cause solid wood furniture to warp and crack. Careful care should be taken during the summer to protect solid wood furniture from exposure to the sun and moisture that can damage its quality.

Maintaining solid wood furniture isn't just about waxing or polishing; it's about protecting it every step of the way. Like nature's beloved children, solid wood furniture experiences various stages of life, responding to changes in its environment, becoming ill, and experiencing fever. Like us, it experiences spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and the varying temperatures and weather patterns dictate the specific care we choose.
