Wooden furniture of all kinds of harassment suffered at the hands of well-meaning but often do not know the owner of the house. In the May edition House Beautiful, Nigel Thomas from Stair Restoration in Claverack, NY, discusses the greatest danger to furniture and how to remain intact and look good.
* Dry air. Keeping the household humidity between 40 and 45 percent to keep the wood from the separation.
* Big butt. Protecting caned chairs by covering the seat with a pillow. This helps spread the load.
* Sunlight. Direct rays fade not only fabrics, but also wood, and intense sunlight can split wood. Pull the curtains when you are not at home.
* Food and beverages. Acids in food and alcohol can eat through polish, and who did not see a ring of water on the surface of a wooden table? Protect furniture by placing coasters under drinks. Watching the children who have food on hand.
* Clean the house. Dust cloth caught on the edge of the loose veneer and pull it out. Dust silicone spray to make antique wood surfaces greasy. Conversely, an antique piece of wood with a paste wax annual hard wax, said Thomas.
