Most people love petrified wood furniture because it has a glamorous color and a touch of luxury at home. However, only a few people understand and care about the care of petrified wood furniture.
If cared for properly, this petrified wood furniture can stay clean and last for decades.
Check out some ways to care for the following petrified wood furniture :
1. Keep away from direct sunlight
You might think that being in the sun can bring warmth to the house. But in fact, excessive sunlight can damage your furniture. So you should avoid placing it in a location that is exposed to excessive direct sunlight for a long time.
2. Keep away from hot equipment
In addition, the humidity of your furniture is also important to maintain. When placing heating or drying equipment, you must pay attention to the location of your furniture.
If they are exposed to heating and drying equipment for a long time, they may lose moisture and cause deformation, cracking, and other problems.
Therefore, at least keep a distance of at least 1 meter from your furniture when placing heating and drying equipment.
3. Do waxing once in a while
Wiping with a damp cloth alone is not enough to keep your furniture moist. Sometimes, you will need to wax your furniture to lock in moisture in the petrified wood and effectively prevent the furniture from drying out and deforming.
We recommend waxing your solid furniture once a year to extend the life of the furniture.
Gently apply wood wax to the surface and then wipe with a cotton cloth to reduce dust adhesion and increase gloss.
4. Avoid infrared radiation
Infrared radiation will increase the temperature of your furniture. When the sun dissipates at night, the temperature of your furniture will drop rapidly.
Cold shrinkage and continuous and rapid thermal expansion in the long run will make your furniture easy to crack and brittle.
5. Keep away from ultraviolet rays
Ultraviolet light will reduce the strength of petrified wood fibers in furniture and cause discoloration.
