Choose the Right Cleaning Method
Wipe gently along the wood grain with a soft cloth dampened in water, avoiding chemical cleaners that damage the finish.
After using a damp cloth, dry with a non - woven or dry cloth to remove residual dust. For fine dust, use a duster first, then a dry cloth to reduce adhesion.
Regular Waxing Maintenance
Wax furniture every 6 - 12 months with natural wood wax or beeswax.
Before waxing, wipe the surface with mild non - alkaline soapy water to remove old wax and static - induced dust. Waxing forms a protective film to lock moisture and prevent dust penetration.
Control Environmental Humidity & Temperature
Maintain 40% - 60% humidity and 18 - 24°C temperature.
Keep furniture away from direct sunlight or heat sources (heaters, air conditioners) to avoid cracking/deformation from temperature differences.
Avoid Wrong Maintenance Methods
Never use wet cloths directly, chemical cleaners, or over - wax. Prolonged sun exposure also damages furniture, causing cracks, warping, or loss of luster.
Special Treatments for Specific Materials
For mahogany furniture, use beeswax instead of walnut oil to protect the finish.
For black wood - veneer cabinets, kitchen wipes work well if dried quickly after cleaning (personal test proven!).
