Natural Products
Another good way to care for your furniture is to use natural products. A good natural cleaning solution can be made with a cup of white vinegar and a cup of water. After mixing, apply the solution to the surface of the wood and let it soak in for at least fifteen minutes. Once the solution has soaked in, wipe it off with a clean, dry cloth.
Avoid Sunlight
If you have wood furniture, you should keep it out of direct sunlight. The sun can damage wax and shellac finishes, and it can also cause crazing and embrittlement. Furniture should also be kept away from radiators and wood-burning stoves. You can also protect your furniture from heat by keeping curtains and blinds closed on hot days.
Remove Dust
Another good tip is to use a vacuum to remove dust from the surface of your furniture. You can use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment to help reach hard to reach areas. You can also use a broom and pan to clean the fabric of your furniture.
Fading
A good dusting of your furniture can help protect it from fading. Regular dusting will also remove airborne particles that can create a filmy layer on the surface of the furniture. Using a microfiber cloth to dust can also help to prevent dust from settling in your furniture.
