significant number of furniture styles that it is extremely difficult to

storage, for sitting on hold, and for relaxation.
Buying furniture without a plan may affect your decoration and overwhelm the
space. Choosing the right one for your home or office not only improves the
beauty of your home but keeps your stress away as well.
Cleaning Tip
WOOD
It’s pretty rare to walk into a house and not find a stick of wood furniture
inside. Wooden pieces add a cozy touch to a home, with their rich grains and
sturdy designs. To keep the wood looking its best, it needs to be cleaned
properly. Learn how to clean the furniture better maintain its sheen and
prolong its Lifespan. Cleaning wood isn’t hard with the proper cleaning
supplies like wood-specific cleaners, detergent, wax, and even homemade
solutions.
While it might seem complicated to clean wood, a simple approach is always
best. For starters, when purchasing new wood furniture, always ask the vendor
for tips on how to care for the piece. Because every finish, stain, and type
of wood is different. It’s hard to have a one-size-fits-all approach to
cleaning wood furniture, but a good rule of thumb is to start with the mildest
cleaning solutions first and work your way up from there. You’ll also always
wants to test new cleansers or products in an inconspicuous spot before wiping
down a whole table or chair.
METAL
Wrought iron and stainless steel are popular choices for outdoor furniture for
their durability and ease of maintenance. In most cases, metal patio furniture
will easily return to “like new” condition by using a sponge or brush to clean
surfaces with a quarter cup of mild dish soap added to a gallon of warm water.
Metal furniture is best cleaned with a cloth or sponge using water and mild,
non-detergent soap and wiped dry. Abrasive scrubbers or cleaners should not be
used as they can scratch the finish, potentially exposing the metal to rust-
inducing moisture.
The greatest enemy of metal furniture is rust. Although metal patio furniture
is often painted or coated with a rust-resistant finish, these will wear away
over time. If rust is detected, use steel wool to remove oxidation and
consider re-painting the furniture to prevent future problems.
MDF (MEDIUM-DENSITY FIREBOARD)
Although powder-coated MDF is a durable, seamless surface, it is not
completely impervious to stains and damage from moisture or heat. Simply take
the same precautions you would with any wood furniture. Avoid dragging sharp
or rough objects across the surface of your furniture. Use adhesive felt pads,
trivets, coasters, and placemats to help prevent scratches. Use a slightly
damp cloth to clean as needed. For spot cleaning, use an all-purpose cleaner
or a solution of water and mild detergent. Wipe Dry
STEEL
Steel, also known as inox, is an alloy that does not readily rust nor wear
with excessive cleaning. However, all grades of steel will stain and discolor
without proper maintenance and cleaning. Although they are not hard to
maintain, steel furniture requires a little cleaning and maintenance to keep
them shining and functioning well. If not properly cleaned, they can develop
rust that is going to inhibit their functionality. Steel is superior to other
metals because it contains other metals such as nickel and chromium that
prevents it from easy corrosion. However, galvanized steel should not be
confused with stainless steel. Galvanized steel is steel that has been coated
with a layer of zinc.
The first step in cleaning is removing any physical item that may be laying on
the surface you are about to clean. The surface should be free of any items,
especially those items that can be damaged while performing the cleaning.
After you wipe any dirt or debris on the surface, gather the items that you
are going to use while cleaning. Non-abrasive cleaning rags are preferred
because they don’t leave any residue lint. Paper towels can also be used, but
they tend to leave some lint that is visible when the furniture dries.
Dish soap is the best agent for cleaning grime on steel surfaces. Most steel
restaurant furniture is contaminated by grim that comes from the food that the
restaurant serves. Dish soap is good at breaking the bond between the steel
surface and oil that may settle there.
To clean it, put some dish soap on your rug and add a little water to it to
moisten it. Wipe over the surface that you are cleaning. If there is a
stubborn stain or an oil deposit, you may have to go over the stain several
times to disintegrate and remove it.
After you finish wiping, rinse the rag and wipe over any remnants of the
cleaning solution or moisture from the surface of the furniture. After it has
dried, drop a few drops of mineral or baby oil on a dry rug. Rub the rug
against the item until it is properly polished.
