These days furniture is part of our lives. Imagine living without them make our life miserable and almost impossible. So we have to take care of them as they take care of us. Here are some of the enemies of our furniture.
- Expose to UV rays and heat will cause cracks on the wooden parts of furniture. So avoid placing furniture directly beside a radiator or air-conditioning.
- Dryness may cause small checks on wooden parts of furniture. Conversely, high humidity can cause swelling. Low humidity may cause warping and crack on the wood finish.
- Wipe out spilled liquids as soon as possible because it can penetrate the finish and enter the wood.
- Don not place plastic or rubber material directly on the surface of furniture as well as hot items such as laptops, keyboards, etc. These may cause chemical reaction. Use protective cork or felt under lamp and accessories.
