Long-term heating in winter leads to abnormal indoor drying. At this time, the problem of furniture maintenance cannot be ignored.

In winter, many households either have heating or open air conditioners for a long time, causing indoors to dry out, and some furniture will be cracked. Then enter the cold winter, how to maintain the furniture to extend the service life?

Keeping indoor humidity is a top priority

Humidity is the top priority for winter furniture maintenance. The cold in the winter causes the air moisture to decrease, and the air conditioning and the "baking" of the indoor heating, the furniture in the home is more likely to crack, and even faded, so humidity is the key to furniture maintenance.

According to industry insiders, Feng Lei said that the hygroscopic properties of wood make it easy to be affected by the environment, so it is best to humidify evenly. Try to keep the humidifier in a place with moderate ventilation and light, and not close to the furniture. Otherwise, the wood will be hygroscopically swelled, which will cause the furniture to crack and mold. It is appropriate to keep the humidity of the room between 40% and 60%.

Regular cleaning to prevent dust intrusion

Dust generated by road construction, construction sites, vehicles, etc., in addition to people feel uncomfortable, is also a big test for furniture. For furniture, especially wooden furniture, dust is the number one killer. Generally, high-grade log furniture made of mahogany, teak, oak, walnut, etc., will also have a lot of exquisite carvings. These places are most prone to dust accumulation. If you can't clean the ash regularly, it will speed up the aging of the furniture.

Sealing reminder: use a soft cloth to clean when cleaning, but to avoid the use of wet rags, it is best to use special furniture care essential oils, in order to better lock the moisture in the furniture, to prevent deformation, to extend the life of the furniture.

Reduce window opening to avoid direct sunlight

Many people think that heating will increase the indoor temperature. By opening the window, the house can be kept ventilated to prevent cracking of the furniture. Li Chao, an industry insider, said that opening a window can only reduce the humidity inside the house and create a more dry environment for the furniture. The real cause of cracks in furniture is humidity rather than temperature. Winter should reduce ventilation time, which is the correct way to maintain furniture.

In addition, the furniture placement position is best to avoid direct sunlight from the window, the paint can not withstand long-term sun exposure, this is the case in winter and summer, otherwise there will be fading. Uneven sun exposure can also cause another horrible result. Originally, a set of two bedside tables, after a period of sun exposure, the two bedside tables showed completely different colors. Metal fittings also appear oxidatively deteriorated, and the material of the material is brittle. If the position of the furniture is really unchangeable, it is best to separate the sunlight with curtains.
