Society is progressing and developing rapidly, and we are busy with work every day. Our office furniture, which is closely related to us, is our most loyal partner that has accompanied us all the way. How should we "protect" it? Are we doing something wrong when cleaning it every day? Next, the editor of Henan Huadu Times Furniture will talk about some common misconceptions about office furniture maintenance. After understanding these, you will take good care of your office furniture.
1. When wiping furniture, do not use coarse cloths or old clothes that you no longer wear as rags.
Avoid using coarse cloth, fabrics with loose threads, or old clothes with seams or buttons that could scratch the furniture surface. It's best to use absorbent materials such as towels, cotton cloths, or flannel to wipe the furniture.
2. Do not wipe the dust off the furniture surface with a dry cloth.
Over time, dust will accumulate. Avoid using dry wiping, as dust is composed of fibers, sand, and silica. Many people habitually use dry cloths to clean furniture surfaces. However, these tiny particles damage the furniture's finish through friction during repeated wiping. Although these scratches are minuscule and invisible to the naked eye, over time they will cause the furniture surface to become dull, rough, and lose its shine.
3. Furniture care spray wax should not be used to clean or maintain leather sofas.
Furniture care spray wax can only be used on the surface of wooden furniture, not on sofas. This is because genuine leather sofas are essentially animal skin. If wax is sprayed on them, it will clog the pores of the leather, causing the leather to age and shorten its lifespan over time.
4. Do not use soapy water, dish soap, or plain water to clean office furniture.
Soapy water, dish soap, and other cleaning products are not only ineffective at removing dust accumulated on furniture surfaces, but they also fail to remove silica particles left from polishing. These cleaning solutions are corrosive and can easily damage furniture surfaces. Office furniture is primarily made of wood, and moisture entering the wood can cause mold or warping. Furthermore, because of their corrosive nature, they can damage the furniture surface, making the finish dull and lackluster.
5. Keep office furniture moisturized. Moisturizing wooden office furniture cannot be achieved through water alone. Simply wiping it with a damp cloth is insufficient; instead, use a professional office furniture care oil. This oil contains natural orange oil that is easily absorbed by the wood fibers, locking in moisture and preventing cracking and warping. It also nourishes the wood, restoring its luster from the inside out and extending its lifespan.
