Ten coups teach you how to maintain furniture
**[Abstract]**
Over time, even the most carefully chosen furniture can become dirty, scratched, or even cracked and deformed, making it uncomfortable to use. If your beloved furniture is looking a bit worse for wear, don’t worry—there are several simple and effective tips to give it a fresh, new look. Xin Hongyi Furniture (http://xhy.cnjiaju.com/) shares some handy tricks that will help you restore your furniture without breaking the bank.
**Tip 1:** Rattan or bamboo items may develop discoloration or scale over time. To clean them, try using salt water. It not only helps disinfect but also softens the material, making it more flexible. Just wipe them regularly with a damp cloth to maintain their appearance.
**Tip 2:** A coffee table made of fireproof board might get tea stains from frequent use. To remove these, sprinkle a little water on the surface, then use the aluminum foil from a cigarette pack to gently scrub the area. Finish by wiping with water to lift the stain easily.
**Tip 3:** Hot cups placed directly on lacquered furniture can leave unsightly circular marks. You can treat these by applying tartar, kerosene, alcohol, or strong tea to the spot. Alternatively, use iodine to gently rub the mark, then wipe it with a cloth every two days until the heat mark disappears.
**Tip 4:** Scorch marks from fireworks, ash, or unextinguished matches can damage the lacquer. If the paint is only slightly burned, use a small piece of hard cloth wrapped around a toothpick to gently rub away the mark. Then apply a thin layer of wax to make it blend in seamlessly.
**Tip 5:** After removing a sticker, a sticky residue often remains. A thick eraser works wonders in removing this stubborn glue. It's also great for getting chewing gum off the floor without damaging the surface.
**Tip 6:** White desks and chairs tend to show dirt easily. Instead of just wiping with a rag, try applying toothpaste to a clean cloth and gently rubbing the stain. This method removes dirt quickly and safely, without risking damage to the paint.
**Tip 7:** For minor scratches on lacquered furniture, if the wood isn't exposed, use a crayon or pigment that matches the furniture’s color to cover the damaged area. Then seal it with a thin layer of clear nail polish for a smooth finish.
**Tip 8:** Cracks in wooden furniture or flooring can be filled using old newspaper mixed with alum and boiled into a paste with water or rice soup. Use a knife to press the paste into the crack and smooth it out. Once dry, paint over it to match the original color and restore its appearance.
**Tip 9:** Frequently touched electroplated switches on appliances can lose their shine due to sweat and corrosion. Applying a thin layer of Vaseline regularly can protect them from salt and moisture, keeping them looking new.
**Tip 10:** Regularly waxing leather and wooden furniture helps maintain their luster. Products like Bi Lizhu can be used as an alternative to traditional wax for a polished finish.
With these easy-to-follow tips, you can keep your furniture looking beautiful for years to come. Whether it's a quick clean or a full restoration, there's always a way to bring your furniture back to life.
