What are the best ways to maintain my solid wood furniture from Full House?

 

Full House offers a wide range of timber products, from sleek modern oak to rustic reclaimed wood. Maintaining these pieces requires a specific approach to ensure they last for generations. For standard solid wood, the rule of thumb is to dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. You should avoid chemical sprays; instead, use a slightly damp cloth for spills and wipe immediately to prevent the wood from swelling.

 

If you have purchased oiled oak or teak furniture, the maintenance is slightly more specialized. You should avoid detergents at all costs, as they strip the natural oils that protect the wood. Periodically reapplying furniture oil or wax (depending on the specific finish) is necessary to maintain the wood’s "sheen" and prevent it from drying out. Most importantly, keep your wood furniture away from direct sunlight and heaters. Excessive heat or UV exposure can cause the wood to warp, crack, or fade unevenly, which can compromise the structural integrity and aesthetic value of your investment.
