Wood furniture adds classic beauty, but calls for thoughtful care to preserve its durability and appearance. At Berkeley Mills, we craft high-quality wooden furniture that’s made for generations. Follow these expert tips to care for your wood furniture.

1. Routine Dusting and Cleaning

Surface buildup take away from your furniture’s appeal. Regular cleaning ensures lasting beauty.

  • Choose Non-Abrasive Fabrics: Keep surfaces smooth by opting for smooth textiles.
  • Use Gentle Cleaners: Use mild soap and water that keep your pieces intact.
  • Ensure Surfaces are Dry: Standing water may cause warping. Always finish with a dry cloth.

2. Minimize Environmental Wear

The condition of wood changes with climatic variations. Basic safeguards can help reduce wear.

  • Prevent Fading: Direct light may fade finishes. Use curtains or blinds.
  • Prevent Humidity Fluctuations: Dry air affects stability. Monitor with a hygrometer.
  • Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Temperature extremes cause irreparable damage. Place furniture away from radiators.


3. Prevent Damage with Covers

Everyday mishaps diminish the appeal. Adding covers and pads keeps surfaces intact.

  • Guard with Coasters: Spills cause unsightly stains. Always use coasters.
  • Pads for Heavy Items: Sharp corners can dent or scratch wood. Add cushioning.
  • Tablecloths or Covers: Parties and gatherings mean more potential damage. Pick stylish coverings to add a layer of safety.

4. Give Your Furniture a Refresh

Even if handled carefully, furniture might need some help. Restoring or refinishing makes it look like new.

  • Surface Revival: A high-quality polish can restore sheen.
  • Complete Refinishing: Extensive wear require skilled intervention. Get advice from specialists if you’re unsure.

5. Select the Right Products

Unsuitable solutions will damage surfaces. Always invest in quality solutions.

  • Eliminate Harsh Products: Damaging products leave residues. Stay on the safe side.
  • Select Finish-Friendly Agents: Specific treatments thrive with dedicated solutions. Ask experts for recommendations.
