1. Dust Regularly (But Carefully)

Dust might seem minor, but over time, it can reduce the shine of wooden surfaces.

Use a soft microfiber cloth or feather duster to gently wipe off any dust. Avoid using rough or dry cloths that may leave behind fine scratches.

Tip: Make it a habit to dust your wooden furniture once a week to keep it looking neat and polished.

2. Clean with Gentle Solutions

Skip strong chemical-based cleaners. Instead, mix a few drops of gentle liquid soap in lukewarm water and use a soft, slightly damp cloth to clean the surface. Wipe it again using a dry, absorbent cloth to ensure no moisture is left behind, which could damage the wood.

Never apply cleaners that contain harsh ingredients like ammonia or bleach — these can wear away the protective layer and affect the appearance of the wood.

3. Keep Away from Sun and Heat

Excessive sunlight can cause wood to fade or develop cracks. Similarly, placing furniture close to heat sources such as radiators or vents can dry out the wood and lead to damage.

To avoid this, place furniture in shaded areas or use curtains and blinds during peak daylight hours to reduce exposure.

4. Prevent Spills and Stains
Liquids, oil, and ink can easily stain or ruin wooden surfaces.Use table mats, runners, coasters, and cloth covers as everyday protection. In case of spills, wipe them up immediately with a clean, dry cloth to avoid marks or lasting damage.

5. Use Polish or Wax from Time to Time

Polishing helps keep your furniture looking shiny and adds a layer of protection. Choose a good-quality wood polish or natural wax and apply it every 4–6 months. Always test the product on a hidden section first and follow the usage instructions carefully.

Avoid using silicone-based sprays, as they can leave behind a sticky film that attracts dust and dulls the finish.
