In the face of sunshine, air, the change of the seasons and other natural factors, moving and display, transport, cleaning, dust removal, factors, even if is the slightest negligence and carelessness, may cause fatal injuries to the furniture. The following from the seven aspects, the specific ideas of furniture maintenance, methods and taboos.
Maintenance method one: conform to the wood
Human health pay attention to comply with human nature, furniture and maintenance to comply with the wood, is furniture of "temper": winter some family heating, people from heating nearly some very comfortable, but furniture away from the heating, lest because of too high temperature caused by wood excessive contraction, resulting in cracking. Summer has come, it rains often, furniture should be avoid facing the window display, in order to avoid damp in the rainy weather, up bad surface, mortise and tenon joint damage. A lot of furniture also afraid of wind, especially on the surface of the furniture such as tables, cabinets and other furniture, by dry shrinkage and wet expansion ", in the air blowing a long time easy cracking and warping. Furniture of temper is frequently easy to disperse, Long Yi Jing Xiu ", collectors must match up, conform to the wood to make beautiful old furniture hoary.
Maintenance method two: how to maintain the desktop
There is an old saying goes: "cold brew tea table can." This sentence is complied with wood, because the temperature can not quench the cold and heat storage furniture. For example, with a stone furniture (such as tables, screens, etc.) can not be placed outdoors in winter, the summer can not be put in the sun, so as to avoid cracking. The oil on the desktop, usable alcohol to wipe, if there is no alcohol, a highly liquor wipe wipe can also. This is old Beijing a large house the commonly used method.
Three maintenance methods: keep dry, cope with seasonal
Transformation in the four seasons obvious areas, the maintenance of the furniture is very particular about. Such as after the dog days of summer, spring and autumn season, climate by the tidal change dry or by dry and wet, should be timely open doors, pull the drawer, the furniture and synchronous wind, so as to avoid side is too dry or too wet and warping. However, in the wind, can not let the furniture exposed to the sun or the air outlet, should be placed in a cool, dry place. Because the excessive sun exposure will damage the wood furniture material, resulting in wood cracking or warping, so to try to ensure that the old furniture does not suffer from the sun, while maintaining its moderately dry.
Methods: four waxing maintenance
If the furniture used on the year, will gradually lost luster, affect its appearance. Encounter this kind of situation, the floor wax, beeswax, etc. in sunlight or hearth baked soft, with the old leather shoes brush repeatedly to delimit loiter, so that the brush is full of many small changes in the wax particles. Then use the wax particles were stained with the brush on the furniture repeatedly brush, this method is called "dry shake wax". After "dry shake wax" processing, the loss of shiny furniture immediately "red", more effective than female cosmetics. Can also use BILIZHU or floor wax wax directly to buy. One should note that should be carried out after completely removing dust, otherwise it will form a wax spot, or cause wear and scratches. Waxing, master, step by step from the shallower to the deeper, and the surface, uniform waxing. Of course, the most ideal or professional manufacturers to wax. And a method is wax, wax dry wipe the furniture surface, and then heat hair dryer will wax dry blowing formation liquid, with brown brush uniform, to be cooled and solidified, and then with a wooden or bamboo surface of floating wax removed. Finally, the coir brush and cloth "shake net", polish. Is this the way to more professional are more difficult, lane is bad to can the patina to engage in "new", do not advocate of amateur and novice rushed use.
Maintenance method five: deal with loose and fall off furniture parts
If you encounter a piece of furniture parts loosening phenomenon, do not be nervous, in fact, the more high-quality wood made furniture, the more prone to this kind of situation. You can try to use toothpicks, glue or cardboard it plugged, reinforcement, don't use 502 to stick. If parts of the furniture off (such as off the ring of a drawer), should pay attention to the most is to protect the shedding of parts, jargon called "corpses from an inch of land." You can use the same color of the wool and furniture tied together, if it is part of the cabinet or drawer, can also be placed in the cabinet or drawer. Do not leave, lest time lost or otherwise it will be abandoned. Otherwise, once you can fix the time, if you can not find the shedding parts, and then to find a previously published parts is almost impossible. If furniture is too loose, available a piece of string to tie or installed into the sacks, then find experts to repair, do not with tape and other chemical products to bind, to avoid improper handling of.
Maintenance method six: dust removal
Due to the pollution of the environment, more and more dust in the air, especially in urban, so to protect the furniture and add a key lesson to dust. A lot of furniture have carved parts or complex hollow portions, are particularly vulnerable to the accumulation of dust, use a soft cotton cloth to wipe, but remember two things:
One, can not use a towel. Because the hair is a small towel structure consisting of lines, fine carving, corner and wood furniture will cut wound split parts;
Two, can not use wet cloth. The wet cloth is ancient furniture of natural enemies, it will bring about dramatic changes in the furniture surface wet. When the cloth in the water and dust mixture, forming granular, a friction will damage the furniture surface, ranging from damage to the furniture original patina fineness, resulted in heavy furniture surface after cracking. If the dust is too much, use dry cloth to wipe dry moisture. Of course, the friends of Tibet can also use the vacuum cleaner, furniture complex parts (such as carved parts, hollow out parts etc.) of some human can not get rid of the dust can borrow the divinity of modern machines. Often to dust the furniture mainly has two advantages, one is conducive to the protection of furniture patina and even complement patina and wrapped slurry has a direct impact on the life and beauty of the furniture; second is will not cause dust move and lead to secondary pollution, to the furniture store and appreciate create a safe, comfortable environment, in furniture, are very useful to the people.
Maintenance method seven: reasonable arrangement
Furniture placement and maintenance also have a certain relationship. In the cottage, table, cabinets, tables and walls to keep a cm distance, not near walls. Because if too close. The brick walls of water vapor will erosion furniture, make furniture moist, but also damage the furniture surface layer of wax or wrapped slurry, and thus damage to the wood. A drawer of furniture, do not put heavy and blunt, lest crushed and scratch, also not to trample, especially in the dry season, the most easily damaged.
