Quality wood furniture can last a lifetime and is often a treasured heirloom, passed down through multiple generations. However, even the highest quality wooden furniture is still susceptible to scratches and abrasions if not properly cared for. Whether you have just purchased a grand piece from Melbourne Florida custom furniture store<\/a>, Indian River Furniture, or you have an ancient piece already in your home that needs a good clean, here are 6 tips to keep your wooden furniture looking its best.<\/p>\n

How to Take Care of Your Wood Furniture<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Never place any hot, cold, or damp object directly onto a wooden table<\/a> without the protection of a trivet, coaster or potholder. Hot, cold or moist items will react with the wood surface and create discolored white rings or other marks. Incorporate decorative placemats or a tablecloth to protect your dining room table from food and drink spills.<\/li>\n
  2. Avoid resting your feet on the furniture. Embellishments and rough or sharp edges on shoes can scratch your wood furniture. Also, the bottoms and sides of your shoes can bring in additional dirt, sand, and grime causing your table to become dirty much faster.<\/li>\n
  3. Don\u2019t let pets walk across or scratch your wood furniture<\/a>. As much as we love our furballs, they can cause inadvertent damage to a beautiful piece of wooden furniture. If your cat or dog simply loves the top of your table, consider adding a protective cover.<\/li>\n
  4. When writing, place something thicker underneath your paper, such as a book or magazine. While wood is sturdy, it is also soft, so your handwriting can travel through the paper and onto your tabletop.<\/li>\n
  5. Keep your furniture away from a fireplace and heating and cooling vents; away from moisture sources, such as humidifiers, and out of direct sunlight. As much as we love the sun, it can be brutal to wood furniture. Daily exposure to heat or sunlight may fade your wood finishes and dry the wood out, which over time can create cracks.<\/li>\n
  6. If furniture has been stored and becomes overly dry, you may need to re-oil it. Begin by cleaning it with an appropriate cleaner, and then prepare the surface with #0000 steel wool, always working with the grain. Liberally apply your furniture oil and let it soak into the wood for about 15 minutes. If you are going to apply a protective coating, let your furniture set for at least 24 hours before proceeding.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
