 Solid wood furniture, pay attention to moisture prevention.

In summer, solid wood furniture should be protected from moisture . Do not wipe solid wood furniture directly with a damp cloth. To clean solid wood furniture, use a special cleaner to apply to the surface of the furniture, and then wipe it with a clean cloth.

This not only maintains the surface luster of solid wood furniture but also helps prevent moisture damage.

Of course, we cannot completely guarantee that the furniture will not get damp. So what should we do if it does get damp?

If the situation is not serious, it should be ventilated and air-dried in a timely manner; if condensation or mold spots have appeared, the water droplets need to be wiped dry first, the mold spots need to be removed with a mild cleaning agent, and then dehumidified to ensure that the solid wood furniture is not damaged.

 Panel/wood furniture, moisture-proof and waterproof

Furniture made from this type of engineered wood is aesthetically pleasing and reasonably priced. Because the substrate board requires edge sealing during production to isolate it from air and moisture, extra care should be taken to prevent water damage during summer use .


Install waterproof pads under furniture legs that are prone to absorbing water, and ensure adequate ventilation distance on walls near exterior walls and bathrooms to enhance moisture-proofing measures.

 Metal and wrought iron furniture, corrosion resistant

Metal and wrought iron furniture should be kept away from moisture and corrosion . This type of furniture should be regularly wiped with an oiled cloth and mild detergent. Any spots on the surface should be repaired and repainted promptly. If condensation is found on the surface, it should be wiped dry with a cloth immediately to prevent rust.

It is best to place it in a dry and well-ventilated place , and avoid direct sunlight as much as possible to prevent the metal from oxidizing and deteriorating, or the surface paint from fading , cracking and peeling.

In summer, there is more dust in the air, which easily accumulates on wrought iron furniture. To remove dust from wrought iron furniture, it is best to use a pure cotton cloth dampened with a mild detergent to gently wipe it. For dust in crevices, use a soft wool brush to brush it away along the seams.

 Upholstered furniture care, dust prevention and stain removal

The main maintenance of fabric furniture is dust prevention and stain removal . Dusting can be done with a brush or vacuum cleaner. Furniture that can be disassembled and washed can be disassembled and washed at any time. For furniture that cannot be disassembled and washed, you can gently wipe it with a clean, damp towel.

For stains that cannot be washed off the sofa, it is necessary to send it to a professional dry cleaner to extend the life of the fabric sofa.

 Leather furniture, protected from direct sunlight.

Sunlight is the enemy of leather furniture, causing it to lose its luster and deform. Therefore, leather sofas should be especially protected from direct in the summer . Also, in summer, avoid direct contact between the leather surface and sweat from the human body, as this can cause discoloration and cracking over time.

The pores of leather absorb sweat, and high temperature and humidity can cause the organic matter in sweat to react chemically with the leather, easily producing odors. Therefore, leather furniture must be wiped clean frequently.
