The correct way to maintain panel furniture in winter

In winter, the temperature in northern China is cold and the climate is dry. Especially after heating, the indoor dryness problem is more obvious. For those who make panel home decoration and furniture, the problem of winter maintenance is in front of them. Today, Zhoubao will sort out how to maintain panel furniture in winter:

First point

Daily cleaning

Winter in the north is a time when you can't be lazy about dusting and cleaning. The dry climate easily leads to increased dust, and the traces of gravel wear and tear are more likely to appear after walking back and forth. Therefore, you need to pay attention to daily cleaning. You can buy a small handheld vacuum cleaner, or use a soft dry cotton cloth or feather duster to protect the beauty of the furniture surface panel.

Second point

Daily use

In the northern winter, due to the start of heating, dry air and cold temperature, the board itself is mostly in a state of contraction. Therefore, in the daily use of solid wood board furniture, the following points should be noted:

1) Pay attention to surface care. Avoid placing heavy objects on the furniture for long periods of time, as this can cause excessive stress and deformation and cracking. Place a soft cloth under heavy objects for short periods of time. Use coasters or other insulating pads when placing hot items. Avoid contact between corrosive chemicals such as acids and alkalis and the furniture surface.

2) Avoid direct sunlight. After the beginning of winter, although the sun is not as strong as in summer, prolonged exposure to the sun, coupled with the already dry climate, will make it more likely to crack and fade.

3) Properly adjust humidity and temperature. When heating is activated in northern China, the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors is large, which can cause cracking and deformation of furniture panels. In this case, it's important to increase humidity appropriately, such as by placing a basin of water or adding more moisturizing plants. A humidifier can also be used. A humidity level of 40% to 60% is ideal, as this has a direct effect on increasing air humidity. Avoid placing a humidifier directly on the panels or leaving them too close for extended periods. Indoor temperature should ideally be maintained below 28°C. Depending on temperature fluctuations, raise the panel furniture off the ground appropriately.

4) Reduce the time and frequency of window openings. Opening windows in the north only allows cold air to enter, making the room drier. This can cause panel furniture to expand and contract with heat and cold, making it prone to cracking or deformation. It's recommended to reduce the time and frequency of window openings in rooms with panel furniture to maintain an appropriate humidity level.

5) Safety and fire prevention. Panel furniture is flammable. During the dry winter, it is important to pay attention to fire safety when using open flames indoors. For example, when smoking or cooking, the panel furniture should be treated with fireproofing in advance and sprayed with fire-retardant coating to ensure safety.

To sum up, we should pay attention to several points: regular care, maintaining indoor temperature and humidity, staying away from heat sources, and reducing ventilation, so as to avoid the chance of cracking and deformation of panel furniture.
