Preparing furniture for the New Year: useful tips from Garant Furniture Factory

Holidays are approaching, and with them come pleasant chores and preparations for the New Year. Every housewife wants the house to look perfect, and the furniture to be especially attractive. Cabinet furniture, such as wooden beds, wardrobes, dining and writing tables, chests of drawers, are not only functional elements but also part of the interior. We have prepared simple but effective tips to help you preserve its beauty and extend its service life.

1. Regular cleaning

– Wooden furniture (beds, tables, cabinets) should be wiped with a soft microfiber cloth. To do this, use special wood care products or a mild soap solution.
– Clean wardrobes with mirror or glass inserts with glass cleaners, but avoid excessive wetting to prevent moisture from getting into the seams.
– Laminated chests of drawers and desks should be cleaned with a damp cloth and then wiped dry.

2. Protection against damage

– Use hot dish pads on dining tables to avoid stains and heat damage.
– Do not place heavy objects on the shelves of a wardrobe or chest of drawers to avoid bending.
– For wooden furniture, it is recommended to apply wax or protective oil every few months to preserve the texture and color of the material.

3. Removing scratches and scuffs

– Light scratches on wooden furniture can be masked with special wax pencils, matched by color.
– On laminated surfaces, try using furniture repair markers.
– For polished surfaces, a solution based on olive oil and vinegar in a 2:1 ratio is suitable.

4. Adjusting the mechanisms

– Check the condition of the door mechanisms in the wardrobes and hinged cabinets. If the doors open with difficulty or squeak, apply a drop of technical oil to the guides or hinges.
– For dining tables with folding mechanisms, make sure all parts are in place and working properly.

5. Ventilation and moisture protection

– Avoid placing furniture close to walls, especially if they are exterior. This will ensure air circulation and protect the materials from moisture.
– Avoid excessive humidity in the room to avoid damaging the wood and other materials.

6. Fragrances and decorations

Before the holidays, add fragrance to your home with diffusers or natural ingredients such as dried oranges and cinnamon sticks. However, avoid using essential oils directly on furniture, as this can leave stains.

7. Timely repairs

If you notice cracks, broken mechanisms, or faded surfaces, contact a specialist. It’s better to fix the problem in time than to wait until it becomes a serious breakdown.
