5 Maintenance Tips: From Prevention to Repair, Hands-on Factory Tutorial
1. Temperature and Humidity Control for a "Golden Environment"
Recommendation: Maintain indoor humidity between 40% and 60%. Use a humidifier in winter and a dehumidifier in summer. Avoid placing furniture near radiators, air conditioner vents, or windows exposed to direct sunlight.
Factory Tip: "We equip each set of furniture with a temperature and humidity monitoring sticker, allowing users to monitor environmental changes and prevent cracking in advance."
2. Three Don'ts for Cleaning to Protect the Integrity of the Finish
Do not wipe directly with a damp cloth (moisture seeps into the wood and causes swelling);
Do not use harsh cleaning agents such as alcohol or disinfectants (they corrode the finish);
Do not cover with plastic sheeting or heavy fabrics for extended periods (this hinders the wood's breath).
Correct Practice: Gently wipe away dust with a dry cotton cloth and maintain the wood with professional wood wax oil once a month.
3. Regularly "Replenish and Lock in Moisture" to Repair Minor Cracks
Steps:
① Gently sand the edges of the crack with fine sandpaper (600 grit or higher) to remove burrs;
② Apply wood wax oil of the same color as the furniture evenly along the crack direction using a cotton swab;
③ After the wax oil has penetrated (approximately 2 hours), wipe away excess oil with a soft cloth to form a protective layer.
Factory Reminder: "If the crack width exceeds 2mm, it is recommended to contact professional repair to avoid further damage if handled improperly."
4. Move Furniture Gently to Avoid Structural Damage
Incorrect Example: Dragging furniture can cause legs to loosen or mortise and tenon joints to shift;
Correct Procedure: Multiple people should work together to lift the furniture, placing a soft cloth underneath to protect the ground. After placing it, check for levelness.
5. Seasonal "Checkups" for Prevention
Spring: Check for loose connections and tighten screws;
Summer: Avoid prolonged contact of furniture with sweat or water stains;
Autumn: Focus on maintaining dry areas (such as cabinet doors and drawer edges);
Winter: Keep away from radiators and use a humidifier to maintain humidity.
