Summer furniture maintenance tips

Rattan furniture

Although rattan furniture is not afraid of moisture, in the hot weather, the rattan cracks are prone to mold and mold, and should be cleaned and ventilated frequently, and the part that is in contact with the ground should be avoided. Rattan furniture can be easily cracked in hot and dry places. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent the rattan from fading and drying out. Do not get too close to the heat source to avoid deformation, bending or cracking. Rattan furniture will become dirty after being used for a period of time. It needs to be cleaned in time. It can be wiped with light salt water, which can decontaminate and maintain flexibility, and also prevent insects.

Iron furniture

Iron furniture has been exposed to the sun for a long time, which will cause the surface paint film to fade and dry and peel off, and the metal is oxidized and deteriorated. If you encounter strong sunlight and cannot remove the furniture, you can use the curtain to cover it. Moisture can cause corrosion of metal, acid and alkali also have corrosive effect on metal. It can often be scrubbed with tarpaulin and mild detergent. Avoid contact with vinegar, soapy water, soda or other acid and alkali substances.

There are three points to note about the maintenance of furniture in summer:

1. First of all, whether it is solid wood furniture, panel furniture, soft furniture or leather sofas, the outdoor sunlight should be avoided as far as possible for the whole or part of the furniture for a long time. It is best placed in a place where it can avoid the sun shining in, or Separate direct sunlight with translucent tulle curtains. In this way, it does not affect indoor lighting, but also protects indoor furniture. In addition, the furniture should be kept away from heat sources or air conditioning vents to avoid damage or premature aging of the furniture due to large temperature differences.

2. Secondly, after talking about the temperature, it is the problem of humidity. In the summer, it is often wet to see the wall or the floor is damp, so you can keep the wall of the furniture at a gap of 0.5-1 cm from the wall to minimize the risk of moisture. If there is a water mist on the surface of the furniture, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the water mist that condenses on it while keeping the room ventilated. If the ventilation is not ideal, you can also use charcoal or desiccant to absorb the moisture in the room. Especially for leather furniture and furniture metal parts, once there is moisture, it must be dealt with immediately.

3. Finally, in addition to the above protective measures against heat and humidity, we must also pay attention to the daily cleaning of furniture. Panel furniture is relatively easy to clean, and for solid wood furniture and leather furniture, care must be taken. Solid wood furniture is best to be waxed regularly, once every three months, before cleaning, do a good job. For leather sofas, wipe with a damp rag. Large condensed stains can be cleaned with a foam cleaner. It is important to note that the pores of the leather absorb sweat. The high temperature and humidity will cause the organic matter in the sweat to react with the leather and easily produce odor. Therefore, leather furniture must be rubbed.
