When maintaining rosewood furniture, in addition to keeping the surface clean, the most crucial aspect is balancing the moisture content within the furniture to prevent cracking, warping, swelling, and mold. Because spring in southern China is rainy and the air is filled with moisture, rosewood furniture maintenance in the south should begin with dehumidification.

　　First, be diligent and clean the rosewood furniture frequently to keep it clean; second, maintain the indoor environment (air humidity) and the placement of the rosewood furniture; finally, apply a protective coating to the rosewood furniture appropriately, such as waxing or applying walnut oil.

　　Besides moisture-proofing, there are many other things to consider when maintaining rosewood furniture, such as: avoiding placing heavy objects on top of cabinets, tabletops, or chair seats to prevent deformation; moving furniture gently and avoiding dragging or pulling it to prevent damage; protecting it from direct sunlight to prevent cracking; preventing excessive dryness to avoid cracking and warping; fire prevention, as rosewood furniture is flammable; and preventing insect infestation and rodent damage.
