How to Maintain Furniture to Extend Life

Solid wood furniture: This kind of furniture generally has the longest service life. If used properly, some good-quality solid wood furniture can be regarded as "heirlooms." When using, pay attention to the stable placement, and the four legs are balanced on the ground. If there is shaking or uneven ground, the tenon or fasteners will fall off and the bonding part will crack. Once the solid wood furniture with tenon-and-mortise structure becomes loose, you must find someone to repair it in time, otherwise there is a danger of falling apart.

Panel furniture: furniture made of synthetic panels such as medium-density board and particle board. The material is stable and not easy to deform. If used properly and not intentionally damaged, the life span can be more than 10 years. The most vulnerable part of sheet furniture is the hardware. When buying, it is best to ask the merchant for more screws, hinges and other accessories in order to be replaced in time.

Upholstered furniture: Fabric sofas and chairs are the most common upholstered furniture. When using this kind of furniture, avoid direct sunlight and don't put it on the balcony. If it is used for too long, in addition to aesthetic problems, the cloth surface will also be contaminated with dust mites, making it difficult to clean up. Therefore, it is recommended that upholstered furniture be thoroughly cleaned and maintained after five or six years of use.

Furniture with toughened glass surfaces: coffee tables, TV cabinets, etc., sometimes covered with toughened glass, avoid excessive pressure during use, and don't let children sit or play on them. When placing, pay more attention to the issue of stable placement to avoid broken glass due to long-term uneven force. In addition, if there are cracks on the surface or bumps in the corners, do not continue to use it to avoid potential safety hazards.

Furniture that contains more plastic: Plastic furniture is better than light weight, cheap and affordable, and common storage boxes, plastic stools, etc. The service life of plastic is shorter than that of wood, and the problem of aging will usually occur in two to three years. Plastic aging is generally obvious, such as hardening, brittleness, discoloration, cracking, and poor performance. In use, please pay attention to avoid sunlight exposure, keep away from heating objects such as heaters, stoves, etc., and avoid frequent contact with water or oil.
