Caring for the natural color of the wood in your home furniture is an important step to ensure the look and durability of your furniture. You should maintain that furniture over time. Here are some tips for maintaining the natural color of wood in your home furniture:

Clean regularly
Dust and dirt can scratch wooden surfaces, so clean furniture regularly using a soft microfiber cloth or soft brush to avoid scratches. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that can damage the natural protective layer of wood. It is better to use a gentle and environmentally friendly wood cleaner.

Protect from direct sunlight
Exposure to direct sunlight can fade and damage the natural color of the wood. Place your wooden furniture away from windows or use curtains or window coverings to reduce the effect of sunlight.

Consider using upholstery
Use a suitable wood coating to protect the surface of wooden furniture. This coating will form a protective layer that can help prevent scratches, stains, and other damage.

Use a mat
Use a mat or table mat to prevent scratches or stains caused by heavy items or spilled liquids.

Maintain humidity
Wood can dry out and crack if it’s too dry or swell if it’s too damp. Make sure your furniture is in an environment with balanced humidity. Use a humidifier if needed.

Avoid drastic temperature changes
Avoid placing wooden furniture in areas subject to drastic temperature changes or poor air circulation, as this can cause changes in the structure of the wood.

Regular maintenance
Perform regular maintenance such as rubbing the wood surface with special wood oil or wood wax to maintain its shine and healthy look. Make sure to follow the instructions for using the care product you choose.

Avoid bumps and scratches
Be careful when using or moving wooden furniture to avoid scratches or other physical damage. If there is any damage such as deep scratches or stains, repair immediately by sanding and applying an appropriate protective or repair coating.

Pay attention to the direction of the wood grain when cleaning or scrubbing wood, always follow the direction of the wood grain to avoid scratching or damaging the wood.

By taking good care of your wooden furniture, you can ensure that it remains beautiful and functional for many years. Well-maintained wooden furniture will be a pleasant long-term investment.
