How to Care for your Hardwood Furniture

One of the great things about hardwood furniture is that it is an excellent quality wood that if looked after and maintained correctly, it will last for many years to come.

Caring for your Hardwood Furniture

Caring for your Hardwood Furniture

How to maintain the Appearance of Hardwood
Firstly, we suggest a few weeks after receiving of your furniture, you re-oil it. After this it should be done on a regular basis; every 2 months if it is left uncovered. Oiling your furniture will help to maintain and preserve the original colour and will make it more resistant to weathering. Oiling your furniture will also help to minimise surface cracks.

You do not need to treat your furniture this often but doing so will help keep the furniture as good as new!

If left untreated, the timber will change to a dull grey colour.

We do recommend a furniture cover to help protect it and preserve its colour, particularly throughout the winter months. If you use a cover, it will only need oiling every so often as it will not exposed to the weather from day to day. We offer a range of waterproof furniture covers on our website.
