Furniture Use and Care:
Careless and uninformed treatment of furniture is the second major cause of preventable
damage. Damage to furniture is telltale: it is either caused by poor construction (over which
the caretaker has no control) or it is the result of improper use or care. You don't have to be
a specialist or scholar to treat furniture properly, all it takes is a basic understanding of the
nature of wooden objects and of what furniture is and is meant to do, combined with
common sense.
Here are some common-sense pointers:
• Protect surfaces from fire and excessive heat
• Sit only on structures designed for that purpose
• Be careful about what you place on a piece of furniture
Hot items, such as irons, coffee mugs, and steaming tureens can literally melt a finish away.
Water from spills and condensation from vases and cold drink glasses can damage and
deface coatings through "blooming," an effect that makes transparent coatings white or
milky. Damage is even worse when the liquid itself stains the surface, such as when ink or
coffee or tea is spilled, or if the coating is penetrated and the staining liquid enters the wood
itself.
Organic solvents, such as fingernail polish and remover, perfumes, and alcoholic drinks can
behave as paint and varnish removers on many kinds of coatings.
These problems are simple to address. Using coasters, oversized ashtrays, and writing pads
can virtually eliminate the potential for damage. - JabF

Light
Probably the easiest environmental issue to understand and resolve for furniture is damage
from light. What we normally call "light" is really just a very narrow portion of the
phenomenon called "electromagnetic radiation" that corresponds to the sensitivity of our
eyes.
Simply put, light is a source of energy. Light interacts with everything it illuminates, and
light energy is directly translatable to damage to furniture surfaces. The amount of that
damage depends on the intensity and color. Bright light is more damaging than dim light,
blue light is more damaging than red light.
For the most part, light damage takes the form of discoloration, usually bleaching. Light
induces bleaching and degradation in most components of furniture: coatings, whether
transparent or polychrome; the wood itself; and especially upholstery textiles. Generally,
light damage is cumulative and permanent.
Responding to the potential for light damage is relatively simple and can also be
straightforward: when the furniture is not in use, it is best left in the dark. Even when
furniture is in use and in the light, damage can be reduced through common devices like
window shades, curtains, and screens for protection from direct sunlight or elevated light
levels. Ultraviolet filter films can be used to block the most damaging light frequencies if
there is concern over the color of the light, for example light from fluorescent bulbs or
ultraviolet radiation from sunlight. For extended periods of non-use, opaque dust covers are
recommended.
The most important thing to keep in mind is the relationship between light and damage to
furniture surfaces. As long as there is light, there will be light damage proportional to its
intensity and exposure time. But the application of simple measures can go a long way to
reducing damage. - JabF

Maintaining furniture is a task but an extremely rewarding one. Here are a few tips that you could use to make sure your wooden furniture lasts long.

Wooden furniture, with its vintage charm adds a sense of allure to your home. Any wooden piece is a centre piece worthy of all attention. It is for this very reason that one must give its maintenance extra care and attention. But it’s extremely important to know what helps and what does not.


Here are a few valuable tips that could help you maintain your furniture better.


Dust it well

A sparkling piece of furniture makes for a sparkling room. And the right amount of dusting helps in doing so. Make sure you use a soft, dry cotton cloth to wipe any dust off. If you could clean your sofas, tables etc. on a bi-monthly basis, then there’s nothing like it.

Minimal exposure to sunlight

Be careful about exposing wooden furniture to sunlight for prolonged time periods. It results in a phenomenon called ‘spotting’ where bright and dark spots appear across the cross section. On a wooden table, you could use tablecloth to effectively mitigate its effect.

Be mindful of temperature

Avoid using extremely hot and cold objects on wooden furniture for better maintenance. They tend to leave an impression that may distort the original texture of the surface. Make sure the exposure is limited to permissible time intervals and not for too long.

Let it age with grace

Furniture ages with time and you need to let it age gracefully. Just like wine, it may acquire new character in its twilight years. Some wood may lighten and some may darken with the passage of time. So when you’re buying any wooden furniture the next time be very mindful of its ageing habits.

Keep sharp objects at bay

You should be very careful about not letting sharp objects too close to wooden furniture pieces. A scratch never looks good. Never.

Oil and Wax Regularly

Oiling and waxing wood is highly recommended since it gives it a shiny varnish to it. Also, it adds a protective layer, a coating on the surface thereby enlivening its appearance. If you could oil and wax your wooden units once in three months, it’ll be wonderful.

Happy new year 2021. Wishing you an amazing and memorable year.
