Pine furniture is popular for its natural texture, environmental protection and high cost performance, but because it is soft and easily affected by the environment, it needs scientific maintenance to extend its service life. The following are the maintenance points of many authoritative materials:
1. Daily cleaning and surface maintenance
Soft cloth dust removal along the grain
Use soft cotton cloth or flannel cloth to wipe along the direction of the wood grain to avoid scratching the surface. Before dusting, you can spray a small amount of neutral detergent or special spray cleaner on the cloth surface to enhance the decontamination effect.
Note: Do not wipe with soapy water, clean water or coarse cloth to avoid residual water stains that cause mold or surface wear.
Stain treatment
Minor stains can be gently wiped with warm tea water, and after the water evaporates, apply wax to protect the paint film.
Stubborn stains can be dissolved with 25% acetone aqueous solution, or scrubbed with 20% acetone and a small amount of alkali mixture, and then wiped with a soft cloth.
2. Precautions for use
High temperature and scalding prevention
Hot food or hot drinks need to be placed on an insulation pad to avoid direct contact with the table to prevent cracking or scalding of the paint surface.
Avoid corrosive substances
Keep away from chemical solvents such as alcohol, nail polish, gasoline, etc. to avoid corroding the surface.
Prevent scratches from hard objects
Sharp objects (such as keys and knives) should be kept away from furniture, and cleaning tools should also avoid contact with the surface.
3. Environmental control
Humidity and ventilation
Maintain indoor humidity at 40%-60%. Excessive dryness can easily lead to cracking, and moisture can easily cause mold and deformation. It can be adjusted by a humidifier or dehumidifier.
Open windows for ventilation regularly to prevent insect infestation.
Sun protection
Avoid direct sunlight, as ultraviolet rays will accelerate the fading of wood and the aging of paint film. Draw gauze curtains when approaching windows.
4. Regular deep maintenance
Waxing and polishing
Maintain once a quarter with special wood wax or polishing wax. Operation steps:
First remove dust with a soft cloth;
Apply wax oil evenly and rub gently along the direction of the wood grain;
After the wax is slightly dry, polish with a clean cloth.
Pine oil treatment
If pine resin (pine oil) seeps out, a small amount can be scrubbed with 8%-10% sodium carbonate solution or bleaching powder and warm water; stubborn residues can be carefully scraped off with a spatula.
V. Special situation response
Deformation of cabinet door: If the cabinet door cannot be closed, it may be an installation problem. It is recommended to contact after-sales for adjustment.
Paint repair: Minor cracks can be repaired with 502 glue (only for varnish surface), and drainage tubes must be used.
Summary
The maintenance of pine furniture requires daily maintenance and environmental management. Through scientific cleaning, regular care and risk avoidance, it can maintain its natural beauty and practical functions. Following the above methods, your pine furniture will be timeless and become a long-term natural companion in home life.
