Panel office furniture is beautiful and stylish, but it's expensive and has a short lifespan. So, how can we extend the lifespan of panel office furniture in daily use? Below, the editor from Huadu Times Furniture will explain in detail.
I. Cleaning
1. Avoid using commercial cleaning products. Although using cleaning products may appear beneficial to furniture in the long run, the chemicals in these products can be harmful when in contact with wood, air, and light over a long period.
2. Weekly cleaning is recommended. Use a clean, soft cloth, such as a lint-free cloth. A damp cloth may make it more difficult to remove dust. If the cloth is too wet, dust may get into the wood panels, which is detrimental to the furniture.
II. Changes in humidity and temperature
1. Wood panels are very sensitive to changes in relative humidity. As the weather changes, humid air enters your home, increasing the moisture content of your furniture. Therefore, try to maintain stable humidity levels in your home.
2. Frequent changes in relative humidity or other specific issues can cause wooden furniture to warp, buckle, and crack. A sudden change in climate from hot and humid to cool and dry is when wood is most likely to crack. Excess heat and dryness can cause wood to split.
3. Office furniture should be kept away from heat sources such as radiators, hot runners, or fireplaces.
• If you must place furniture near a drafty area, avoid direct exposure to dry air. Use plants (such as foliage plants) as close to the table as possible to achieve suitable humidity levels.
Winter is a season when wooden furniture is particularly prone to cracking, likely due to the excessively dry environment. Take extra care of your wooden furniture during this time.
III. Sunshine
The sun's ultraviolet rays can damage the gel inside the wood panels. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause serious damage to your furniture. Sunlight exposure may make the wood appear slightly whiter than areas that haven't been exposed to the sun. Avoid direct sunlight on office furniture.
4. Avoid direct contact with excessively hot, chemical, or sharp objects.
1. Fingerprints, sweat, and grease can damage your office furniture, especially chairs. Regular cleaning is necessary. Plant and flower nectar can also cause permanent stains on desktops.
2. Do not place hot items directly on your desk, as this may leave marks or stains later. It is recommended to use a heat-resistant mat on the desk to prevent damage.
3. If a water glass or beverage is spilled on the table, it should be cleaned up promptly.
4. Placing lamps and decorative items on a table may cause scratches and discoloration. For these items that are not easily moved, it is recommended to use a mat underneath them.
5. Avoid direct contact between newspaper and magazine ink and the desktop. The ink may seep into the stencil, causing permanent discoloration of the panel office furniture.
V. Upholstered Furniture
• Avoid direct sunlight; discoloration of woven fabrics is a natural result of normal use.
1. The mattress and pillow should be rotated weekly.
2. Cotton, linen, and silk fabrics should be vacuumed weekly.
3. Do not use strong chemical protectants or cleaners.
4. Any damage should be repaired promptly.
