In Prestige, leader in the production of classic furnishing, we know that one of the most valuable features of a piece of furniture is the durability of its beauty. In our products this is an index of the high quality craftsmanship of our master carpenters.
Once delivered, however, the piece of furniture needs attention in order to preserve its beauty and brightness. The market offers a wide range of products specific for wood. It is important for the client to know which is the best to use.
Both luxury custom-made and standard furniture have a common enemy: the dust, which can affect the wood fibers causing premature ageing.
To avoid this, you can make a few but regular actions that will help the furnishing to keep in time.
Some minor premises
Before the advice of Prestige for the care of the furniture at home, we underline a few premises:
▪ First of all it must be stressed that you should never exceed with the use of water in wood furniture cleaning. It could cause unpleasant swellings that could bring to unsightly irregularities.
▪ Another important factor for the cleaning of the furniture is the use of a soft, smooth cloth in order not to scratch the surfaces.
▪ Last premise is to not use chemicals for wood. To any kind of furniture, indeed, corresponds a suitable treatment and product. The use of unsuitable products could damage the surfaces, generating halos.
To every piece of furniture, its beauty treatment
To clean the varnished wood, just a simple damp cloth is enough, but it should never be used chemicals. After dusting, it is recommended to wax the furniture with a specific product in circular motion. Once dry, it is possible to polish with a woolen cloth, following the design of the wood grain.
The antique furniture, instead, is to be dusted with a woolen cloth or with a chamois leather. It is recommended to use, always in a correct quantity, specific products, which can be easily found in stores, and to avoid the use of products generic or suitable for other purpose that often damage the beauty of the wood.
Furthermore, on those furniture items it is recommended to polish periodically with beeswax, in order to emphasize the brightness of the surfaces.
One last valuable trick
Finally, we recall you that before using any product on a piece of furniture, it should be tried on a small surface not in view, both to verify the effectiveness and to avoid disappointing surprises, and that the beauty of the furniture can be affected by absence but also by excess of care.
