How to Care for and Maintain Walnut Wood Furniture
Core Maintenance Recommendations
1.Daily Cleaning - Dust regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth (e.g., microfiber cloth) to prevent dust from scratching the wood surface. - For deep cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth (with plain water only). Wipe gently, then immediately dry with a clean, dry cloth to avoid moisture residue. - Never use chemical cleaners containing ammonia or strong acids/alkalis, as they may damage the wood surface and finish.
2.Occasional Polishing and Nourishment - Use high-quality polishes, furniture wax, or beeswax suitable for walnut wood. Apply every few months (or as needed) to restore the wood’s shine and provide a protective layer. - For deep nourishment, consider natural oil-based wood wax products, ensuring they won’t leave a yellowish residue or become sticky after drying.
3.Protective Measures - Avoid direct sunlight: Prolonged exposure can cause fading or lightening. Use curtains, blinds, or UV-blocking films to shield from light. - Use coasters, table mats, and soft pads: Prevent water stains, soap rings, heat marks, and scratches/dents from heavy objects or decor. - Control indoor humidity: Maintain a relative humidity of approximately 40–60%. Avoid excessive dryness (which may cause cracking or shrinkage) or moisture (which may lead to swelling, warping, or mold).
4.Repair and Structural Maintenance - Minor scratches: Cover with walnut wood shavings, wood repair markers, or matching color pens, then buff gently. - Loose structures: Periodically check and tighten joints, screws, or bolts to maintain the furniture’s structural stability. - Large-scale damage or peeling veneers: Consult professional teams for restoration using original-style materials (e.g., veneers) to preserve historical integrity and value.
5.Storage Recommendations - After cleaning, apply protective wax or polish, then cover with a breathable fabric to prevent dust accumulation and scratches. - Store in an environment with stable temperature and humidity. Avoid plastic covers, as they trap moisture and may cause mold or wood damage.
