5 Tips for Caring for Your New Furniture

Proper furniture care is essential to keeping your wooden furniture looking beautiful for years to come. Made from natural wood, our pieces may need a little extra love as the seasons change. Temperature shifts, sunlight, and everyday use can all affect natural materials, but with a few simple habits, you can protect and maintain your investment.

Below are five easy furniture care tips to help you enjoy your piece for many years.

Gently wipe all surfaces with a damp cloth to help maintain the wood’s natural moisture. Regular dusting prevents buildup and supports the longevity of the finish. Consistent furniture care helps reduce dryness, especially during seasonal changes when indoor air can become dry.

2. Steer Away from Harsh Chemicals When Cleaning

Clean with only a damp cloth and avoid strong chemicals that could cause the wood to yellow. Natural wood responds best to gentle cleaning methods. Harsh products may damage the finish and affect the appearance over time.

3. Keep Furniture Out of Direct Sunlight

Place pieces out of strong, direct sunlight to help minimize the risk of discoloring, cracking, or warping. Natural wood can react to prolonged heat and UV exposure, especially during summer months. Using curtains or blinds can help manage sunlight exposure indoors.

4. Don’t Let Liquids Sit on the Surface

Wipe up spills immediately to prevent stains or water damage. Prolonged exposure to moisture can affect the surface and potentially impact the wood over time. Using coasters and placemats is a simple but effective furniture care practice.

5. Treat with Love and Care

A little attention goes a long way. Handle pieces gently, avoid dragging heavy items across surfaces, and enjoy them every day.
