Wooden furniture is invariably very popular. They look attractive, are durable and easy to maintain. They are associated with elegance, luxury and functionality. If you want them to serve you for many years, you must take good care of them. Check how to clean them!
Put a drop of dishwashing liquid on a damp cotton cloth. Now, use it to wipe an inconspicuous part of the furniture, such as the inside of a chair leg. If the liquid does its job, you can safely continue. If it stains the furniture, wipe it with a damp cloth. Remember not to soak the wood, instead, gently run the cloth over the surface. Do not let the liquid remain on it for too long. Finally, dry the furniture thoroughly.
If your wooden furniture needs extra care or you want to preserve its beautiful color, add more oil, such as ½ cup of apple cider vinegar or ¼ cup of olive oil. Mix it with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (to disinfect) and essential oils (lavender, lemon or orange).
