When shopping for furniture, you're often reminded that proper maintenance can significantly extend its lifespan. As a common household item, furniture is in constant contact with us, making regular care essential. It's recommended to place all furniture in a well-ventilated, dry, and cool area. With summer approaching, the challenge of humidity becomes more critical compared to the drier winter air. Rapid temperature and humidity changes, along with high UV exposure, can affect furniture quality. Just as we use sunscreen and umbrellas in summer, don't forget to protect your furniture. Shuanghu Furniture, a leading manufacturer and seller of home furnishings, shares some essential tips on summer furniture care to help you love your home even more.
Solid Wood Furniture
Solid wood furniture is popular due to its natural beauty and eco-friendly properties. In summer, it's important to apply a special cleaning agent or protective wax regularly to maintain its shine and moisture resistance. To prevent warping caused by humidity, keep doors closed to avoid moisture absorption.
Board/Panel Furniture
Board or panel furniture offers an attractive look at a reasonable price. During manufacturing, the substrate is sealed to prevent moisture absorption. However, poor sealing can lead to swelling and damage. Most reputable brands ensure full-edge sealing. In summer, avoid placing such furniture near exterior walls or bathrooms. Use waterproof pads under legs and keep the space ventilated.
Fabric/Leather Sofas & Soft Beds
Sofas provide comfort but also collect dust and moisture. For fabric or leather sofas, use a vacuum cleaner regularly. In wet weather, use absorbent sofa towels and wash them frequently. Avoid direct contact between sweat and leather surfaces to prevent discoloration and cracking during hot summers.
Glass and Marble Furniture
Glass and marble furniture are stylish and modern. These materials should be protected from direct sunlight, which can reduce their lifespan. For glass tables, avoid leaving oil stains for long periods to maintain their appearance.
Metal Furniture
Metal and wrought iron furniture should be cleaned regularly with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Rust spots need prompt repair and repainting. Avoid using metal furniture in humid environments. If condensation appears, wipe it immediately with a dry cloth to prevent rusting.
General Summer Maintenance Tips
1. Keep furniture away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Use sheer curtains to filter light while protecting your furniture from UV damage and temperature fluctuations.
2. Humidity is a major concern in summer. Maintain a small gap (0.5–1 cm) between furniture and walls to reduce moisture risk. Wipe any condensation with a dry cloth and ensure good ventilation. If needed, use charcoal or desiccants to absorb excess moisture, especially for leather and metal pieces.
3. Regular cleaning is crucial. Panel furniture is easy to clean, while solid wood and leather require more attention. Wax solid wood every three months and clean before applying wax. For leather sofas, use a damp cloth for daily cleaning, and treat large stains with foam cleaner. Be cautious about sweat on leather, as high humidity can cause odor due to chemical reactions.
By following these tips, you can keep your furniture looking great and lasting longer, no matter the season.
