Rosewood furniture is favored by consumers because of its exquisite structure and durable quality, but because of the characteristics of wood itself, rosewood furniture needs daily maintenance. When summer comes, the rainy and muggy climate is more challenging for the maintenance of mahogany furniture. Therefore, more attention should be paid to the maintenance of mahogany furniture in summer.

Rosewood furniture should be properly placed

The arrangement of mahogany furniture should avoid direct sunlight as far as possible. In summer, the days are long and the sunshine time is too long. If the furniture is exposed to ultraviolet radiation for a long time, it is easy to crack or deform. If the space in the house is limited and the mahogany furniture cannot be far away from the windows, you can choose curtains with good shading effect.

When placing furniture, it is best to use soft thin pads to separate the parts where the furniture contacts the ground, and at the same time, keep a clearance of about one centimeter between the part of the furniture against the wall and the wall, which is mainly to isolate the moisture on the wall and the ground.

Pay attention to indoor temperature and humidity

Rosewood furniture has strict requirements for the environment. Changes in humidity and temperature will cause deformation and cracking of rosewood furniture. The suitable ambient temperature for mahogany furniture is about 20 degrees Celsius, while the summer is usually hot. At this time, water can be poured into some shallow bottom open vessels and placed under the mahogany furniture. Through the natural volatilization of water, it can not only reduce the indoor temperature, but also play the role of humidification, and improve the service life of mahogany furniture. If the room temperature is too high, you can also use an air conditioner to adjust, but remember not to use an air conditioner to directly blow mahogany furniture.

In rainy summer, desiccant, desiccant bag and activated carbon can be used to control indoor humidity. Nowadays, there are many special moisture-proof products in supermarkets, which can be purchased according to actual needs. But after using for a period of time, take out the materials in the box or bag, and put some lime or bulk desiccant again for use. In terms of the selection of desiccant, the dehumidification bag made of absorbent resin and charcoal is better, and it is suitable to be placed in a small space, such as a wardrobe, shoe cabinet and other enclosed spaces, so it has strong pertinence and obvious effect.

In case of continuous rainfall and high air humidity, the dehumidification function of the air conditioner can usually be used to control the indoor humidity, but the dehumidification effect of the air conditioner is slow, which usually takes two or three hours to take effect. If conditions permit, professional dehumidifiers can also be used for dehumidification.

For furniture that has been slightly deformed, you can put the deformed place in the right place and use cardboard to support it. After a period of time, the deformed position can be restored to its original state. For cracked mahogany furniture, the manufacturer or professional company should be contacted in time for repair.

Special attention should be paid to daily use and care

The hollowing out and carving is a major feature of mahogany furniture, and it is also these parts that are particularly prone to dust accumulation, which not only affects the beauty, but also is the killer of mahogany furniture that quickly "ages". At ordinary times, the dust can be gently brushed off with a soft brush, and then slowly scrubbed with a soft dry cotton cloth.

Wiping mahogany furniture with wet cloth is also a big taboo. Because windows are opened more often in summer, outdoor dust particles will attach to the surface of the furniture. When combined with the moisture in the wet cloth, they will form particles, which will wear the appearance of the furniture, cause damage to the furniture, and cause the appearance of the furniture to crack in the future.

In the process of wiping, chemical agents such as detergent or detergent must not be used, which will corrode the furniture and make the smooth furniture surface dull. If necessary, dip a small amount of special wax in the process of wiping and wipe back and forth along the texture of wood grain.
