The maintenance of mahogany furniture is a very important link and the key to ensure the preservation and appreciation of furniture. A piece of mahogany furniture will have good value only if it has a good image, which is the eternal truth of the market, but many consumers don't know how to properly maintain mahogany furniture. Today, only the daily maintenance steps of mahogany furniture are preliminarily explained, and then the details are explained in detail.

Step 1: Dust removal

Dust removal of mahogany furniture is the primary work. First, we must choose the right tools. If you want to do a good job, you must sharpen your knife first. Tools are very important. For the part without carving, we can choose a bristle brush with moderate hardness, but the carved part should be more detailed. It is best to use a soft and dry brush and carefully and patiently wipe along the grain direction. For round carvings and hollowed-out carvings, you should be especially careful when wiping them. If necessary, you can use an air gun to blow air at the carved parts to blow away the dust.

Towels and warm and wet cloth are the most taboo in the dust removal stage, because towels are small ring structures composed of lines, which will hurt the carvings, corners and small parts of furniture wood grain; Wet cloth is the enemy of mahogany furniture, which will bring about drastic changes in the surface dryness and wetness of furniture. When the moisture in the wet cloth is mixed with dust, it will form particles. Once rubbed, it will destroy the surface of furniture, from light to light, it will destroy the original patina color of furniture, and even lead to the surface cracking of furniture in the future. And warm water may make the paint of furniture fade.

Step 2: Wipe the dirt.

After a long time of use, some dirt, especially oil stains, will stick on the surface of furniture, which will affect the luster of furniture. For dirt, it is the best way to use residual tea and corn flour. Wipe up the oil stains with the remaining tea leaves and sprinkle with a little corn flour. After wiping off the corn flour, you will find that the oil stains on the furniture surface have been absorbed and the paint surface has become smooth and bright. If you encounter serious stains, you can use toothpaste, dip a soft cloth in fluoride-free toothpaste, and wipe the surface of furniture for several times to remove it.

Step 3: Waxing

Waxing is the most important in the maintenance of mahogany furniture. Whether painting furniture or waxing furniture, waxing maintenance is a good choice, especially for your own waxed furniture. Furniture should be protected by waxing in March, September and June, and it is most suitable to maintain with beeswax. Beeswax can be bought at stalls in antique furniture market. When waxing, we should master the principle of from shallow to deep, from point to surface, and wax gradually and evenly.

In addition, when using furniture, people should pay attention to avoid direct sunlight, and at the same time, don't put it in very humid places. Exposed to the sun for a long time, the wood often appears boring, cracked and partially faded, while the wet place for a long time will make the wood easy to shrink and rot.
