Pine Furniture Care Guide

First, some background information on pine. Pine is an unsurprisingly soft wood. The individual furniture pieces may have insignificant defects, like knots, shakes and minor cracks in the wood's surface. A few minor shrinkages may occur at times. This usual irregularity in pine adds to its overall uniqueness.

Never place Pine furniture near a radiator or under direct sunlight. This is a natural product that will expand if kept in damp whether and will shrink break if subjected to heat. Pine is very susceptible to temperature fluctuations. With pine furniture it is suggested that an even room temperature must be kept at all times and no rapid temperature fluctuations must happen.

Never place hot or chilled things directly on the surface of furniture, a place mat must be used or permanent marks will form. For everyday cleaning slightly damp cloth or a duster must be used.

No soap or detergent and water must be used for cleaning. To maintain the distinctive finish on this furniture, do not use sprays or Polish with silicone. If you are not sure, try doing this at an area which is not visible to all and see the reactions. The natural colors as well as finishing on this pine furniture will definately have negative reactions to most artificial products.

Its surface requires re treating again and again helping maintain its character. You can easily do this at home using block wax by rubbing it gently over the whole object, according to the manufacturer instructions. After treatment, you can easily make out; there is something waxier than before. This is natural as the wood is a natural product which absorbs as well as breathers in room temperature.

The use of detergents and other materials other than the ones recommended could damage the surface. It may be essential to tighten fittings from time to time. This is usual and inspections must be carried out regularly. The furniture must not be placed at a wet or damp floor as it may result in staining the floor.

Indian Sheesham

Indian Sheesham furniture is in its natural state provided. They appear polished because of its usual oil occurrence. The furniture must be wiped with a damp cloth to take away the dust from production. The oil on the outside evaporates after it is kept outdoors for a few days. It is the oil which is under the surface of the wood that gives it durability. Some of these oils, may be lost after the first rain, and at first cushions may be required when the furniture is still little oily.

Only water and soap should be used if you wish to clean the furniture without getting the silver- gray patina removed. To keep the golden brown color, it is recommended applying a teak sealer every year.

The wood preservatives must be applied after drying and cleaning your furniture. It is not recommended to paint Indian Sheesham wood as the natural oils can affect the paint. Teak is the only wood that can take the rigors of worst climates.
