How to maintain a coffee table
The key to maintaining a coffee table is to take appropriate maintenance measures and choose the appropriate maintenance method based on the material of the coffee table. Here are some effective coffee table maintenance tips:
1. Keep clean: Regularly clean the surface of the coffee table, remove stains and liquids in a timely manner, and avoid using solvents such as alcohol and gasoline to wipe, so as not to damage the surface coating. You can apply colorless furniture wax thinly and evenly to maintain glossiness.
2. Stay away from direct sunlight: Avoid prolonged exposure of the coffee table to direct sunlight, especially near windows. Long term exposure to sunlight can cause paint to turn yellow, discolored paint to fade, and metal parts to oxidize and deteriorate. If unavoidable, curtains or blinds can be used to block light.
3. Avoid moisture: Keep the indoor humidity within the normal range and avoid the coffee table from coming into contact with too much moisture to prevent wood decay and metal parts from rusting. When cleaning, avoid using alkaline water or running water to rinse.
4. Pay attention to the placement area: Avoid placing the coffee table in areas with high humidity or temperature, such as bathrooms, balconies, or kitchens. If it must be placed, measures should be taken to reduce direct exposure time, such as closing curtains.
5. Avoid heavy pressure: Although coffee tables are usually designed to be quite stable, placing heavy items can cause surface damage. Heavy objects should be dispersed and placed to avoid excessive pressure on specific parts of the coffee table.
6. Flat ground: Ensure that the coffee table is placed on a flat ground, with all four legs firmly and steadily on the ground. Unstable ground can cause tenons or fasteners to loosen, affecting the service life of the coffee table.
7. Regular maintenance: Depending on the material of the coffee table, it may require regular professional maintenance, such as applying a layer of professional wax oil to the solid wood coffee table to increase its moisture resistance and aesthetics.
By following the above suggestions, the service life of the coffee table can be effectively extended and its appearance can be maintained in good condition.
