Solid Wood Furniture Care Guide: Long-Lasting Use

Owning solid wood furniture is like owning a living piece. With proper care, these furniture pieces not only defy the years but also gain value. Here are the basic rules to extend the life of your solid furniture: 1. Moisture and Temperature Balance: Wood is a breathable material. For this reason, you should keep the humidity in your home balanced and keep your furniture at least 50 cm away from heat sources such as radiators. 2. Correct Cleaning: Chemical cleaners damage the natural oil layer of the wood. Instead, use only a slightly damp, soft microfiber cloth. If water is spilled, dry it immediately. 3. Periodic Oiling: The natural oils we use in our Ayana Studio products want to be refreshed over time. Natural linseed oil or beeswax maintenance performed once or twice a year prevents the wood from drying out and revitalizes its color. Natural wood furniture is your most valuable investment that will accompany you and your family for a lifetime when maintained.
