To ensure that furniture or decorative items made of natural wood look beautiful and retain their natural elegance, proper and thoughtful care is essential. This primarily includes cleaning dust and dirt (including old ones) from the varnished surface of the items.
Cleaning carved wooden furniture: main methods
- Dust that has penetrated the varnished surface of any wooden item can be wiped with a damp cloth. If necessary to refresh the coating itself, it can be treated with fine sandpaper (the same "zero" grit). Afterward, the item's surface is covered with a thin layer of varnish or wax;
- In the case where the surface of a wooden item features fine carving, it is best to remove the old varnish, which has absorbed dirt, using a solvent;
- With prolonged use of carved wooden items, whether furniture or decorative elements, dust simply "soaks into" the varnish. Hydrogen peroxide can help deal with such dirt – simply wipe the surface with a cloth soaked in this solution;
- The easiest way to remove various contaminants from the surface of varnished wooden items is to treat them with an abrasive sponge – these same tools are used by auto painters when preparing cars for painting. After such cleaning, a new layer of varnish can be applied over the old one, thus refreshing the item's appearance. It is essential to use the same varnish that was originally applied.
Timely and proper care of items made of natural wood, including cleaning them from dust, will significantly extend their service life and preserve their aesthetic beauty.
