The same solid wood furniture was bought separately, and after a period of time, some people developed "Lin Zhiying" while others developed "Guo Degang". What are the techniques involved? Today we will talk about how we usually use and maintain solid wood furniture to extend its service life.
Firstly, we need to understand the underlying logic of using and maintaining solid wood furniture:
After being made into furniture, trees still have a certain "vitality" - there is still a certain amount of moisture in the wood fiber ducts, and this moisture will interact with the environment in which the furniture is stored. In a centrally heated room, it may continue to lose moisture, while in a damp environment, it will absorb moisture. So, finished solid wood furniture will change the moisture content of wood fibers with time, climate, and environmental changes, causing wood to dry, shrink, swell, and crack.
In addition, the natural properties of wood determine its fear of fire, water, and scratches.

Usage suggestions:
① Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and ventilation, especially in winter when reducing ventilation frequency. It is not recommended to use outdoors.
② Avoid using non breathable materials such as soft glass and leather to cover the desktop.
③ Avoid direct contact with heat sources such as ovens, heaters, etc. It is recommended to use coasters, tablecloths, etc. for insulation.
④ The surface of furniture should be kept dry, and water stains, oil stains, soup, etc. should be wiped off in a timely manner.
⑤ Moisturize or place green plants or a pot of clean water in a dry environment to maintain a humidity of around 35% -60%.
⑥ It is not recommended to directly blow or frequently turn on/off the air conditioner, as it may cause significant changes in temperature and humidity. Otherwise, even high-quality solid wood furniture may sometimes deform and crack.
⑦ Avoid rubbing against hard objects to avoid damaging the paint surface and wood grain.
⑧ When moving furniture, it is best to lift and move it, do not forcefully pull it.
⑨ Avoid contact with colored liquids, corrosive liquids, nail polish, alcohol, etc.

Maintenance suggestions:
Based on the natural properties of wood, the core of solid wood furniture's long-term companionship lies in "controlling its moisture content to slowly change within a normal range". According to the indoor ventilation and lighting conditions, regularly using wood wax oil to wipe the surface and ends can effectively protect the wood furniture and enhance its anti fouling ability.
It is recommended to use wood wax or wax oil (floor wax) for maintenance every six months.

Maintenance steps:
① Polishing: If scratches need to be treated, first use coarse sandpaper to polish along the wood grain until smooth, and then use fine sandpaper to polish.
② Cleaning: Wipe the desktop with a clean soft cloth to remove dust, stains, and grease.
③ Stirring: If there are layers of wood wax oil, please stir evenly first. Pasty wood wax oil does not need to be stirred.
④ Application: Dip an appropriate amount of wood wax oil into a sponge or soft cotton cloth and apply it evenly on the wooden surface.
⑤ Penetration: Allow the applied wood wax to penetrate the wooden surface, usually taking a few minutes to several hours.
⑥ Wiping: After the wood wax oil has penetrated, use a clean soft cloth to wipe the surface of the wood to remove excess wood wax oil. When wiping, apply force evenly to avoid color difference.
⑦ Drying: Let the wooden surface air dry, usually taking more than 24 hours.
