WOOD FURNITURE CARE

Wood is porous and hence has the capacity to absorb and release moisture. Due to change in humidity, wooden furniture may expand as well as contract and this in turn may result in difficulty in closing the chest of drawers. Wood may also split or crack and termite threat is another common problem. In spite of all these problems, wood continues to retain its position as the number one medium for making furniture. With proper care and handling, wooden furniture can be a great one time investment and can be passed on to the next generation also.

Be it teak, mahogany wood, oak wood, rosewood, elm or birch, all types of wooden furniture require constant and adequate care. Wooden furniture has to be safeguarded from temperature extremes, direct sunlight, dust and moisture. Excessive dampness as well as dryness can damage wood. Exposure to direct sunlight may change the color of your furniture. Constant exposure to the sun can bleach and tan wooden furniture and affect the stain and paint on the surface.
