2025-11-04

Pure, flawless white always stands at the forefront of fashion. To the average person, white is as plain and unremarkable as boiling water. Yet, white is the most mysterious color-its silence speaks volumes.

White office furniture, whether Korean or European style, has won the favor of many young consumers. Its combination of classic and modern aesthetics gives the home a fresh and natural feel. However, white furniture also has its inherent drawbacks. Because it's white, it's tiring to maintain and is prone to yellowing. Below, the editor from Henan Huadu Times Furniture will introduce some economical, simple, and easy tips for wiping office furniture:

1. Toothpaste: Toothpaste can whiten office furniture. White office furniture tends to yellow over time. Wiping it with toothpaste can improve the appearance, but you should not rub too hard, otherwise you may damage the paint film.

2. Milk: Milk can eliminate odors inside office furniture. First, place a cup of boiled milk inside the office furniture (cabinets), close the door tightly, and remove the milk after it cools down. The original odor inside the office furniture will disappear.

3. Vinegar: Restore the shine of office furniture with vinegar. Many pieces of furniture lose their original luster as they age. Simply add a small amount of vinegar to hot water, then gently wipe the furniture with a soft cloth dipped in the vinegar water. After the water has completely dried, polish with office furniture polish to restore the shine.

4. Glycerin: When cleaning office furniture, add a few drops of glycerin to the water for a more thorough cleaning.

5. Egg white: Soak a soft cotton or flannel cloth in clean water, wring it out, and then gently wipe the surface of the sofa. Once a month, mix milk and water in an appropriate ratio, use a soft cloth to wipe the surface to remove dust and extend the life of the leather. If you don't mind the extra work, using egg white is also a practical method for cleaning.

6. Beer: Boil about 1400 ml of light beer, add 14 grams of sugar and 28 grams of beeswax, and stir well to mix thoroughly. After the mixture cools, use a soft cloth to wipe the woodenware. After the stains are removed, wipe off any residue with clean water, and finally dry with a soft, dry cloth.

7. Lemon: If polished or varnished wooden furniture is accidentally burned and leaves a burn mark, you can first wipe it with a lemon slice or a cloth dipped in lemon juice, then wipe it with a soft cloth soaked in hot water, and finally quickly dry it with a dry soft cloth to restore its original shine. With the above maintenance tips, you don't need to worry anymore after buying white furniture!

However, never use water to clean it, and never use soapy water or alkaline water, as this will affect the smoothness of the office furniture surface and may even cause the paint to peel off.

These are some tips for the daily maintenance of office furniture, but if you want to thoroughly clean your office furniture, it is best to hire a cleaning company.
