In the hot summer, don't forget to protect your furniture from the sun

Summer is coming soon, and the temperature is gradually rising. While we pay attention to sun protection ourselves, we should also not forget to protect our furniture and household items from the sun. This will not only maintain the appearance of household items, but also extend their lifespan. Now let's share some tips on sun protection for furniture in your home.

Sofa: Cover with a sofa cloth or bamboo mat

Whether it's a leather or fabric sofa, avoid direct sunlight. When arranging a leather or fabric sofa in your living room, avoid placing it near a balcony or window. If possible, place an absorbent cloth or non-scratch bamboo mat on your modern, minimalist fabric sofa. This will not only absorb sweat but also reduce surface moisture and ease cleaning. If it gets dirty, simply wash the cloth or bamboo mat.

Coffee table: avoid direct sunlight

It's best to place your living room coffee table away from direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause white paint to yellow, pigmented paint to fade, and metal fittings to oxidize, deteriorate, and become brittle. Glass coffee tables should also be kept away from moisture, stoves, and chemicals like acids and alkalis to prevent corrosion and deterioration.

Solid wood furniture: Do not expose to direct air conditioning

While air conditioning can cool down, it can also dry out indoor air. Many homes have cabinet air conditioners located in the living room or dining room, often with solid wood furniture directly exposed to the airflow of wall-mounted units. If the furniture is constantly exposed to the airflow, the paint and wood of the furniture may dry out and dehydrate, which is why many solid wood furniture "silently" cracks.
