How to Increase the Durability of Furniture?
The place where we spend most of our time with our loved ones is our home. After selecting a home, the demand that is created is furniture. In this case, the thing that everyone prioritizes more is the durability of the furniture.
Today we will share some “Tips and Tricks” that will help you to increase the durability of the furniture in your home. So let’s know those-
Cleanliness
One of the easy ways to increase the durability of your furniture is to clean it regularly. Clean the furniture with a cotton cloth at least once a week. By doing this, the color of your furniture will remain like new and protect you from the attack of various insects.
You can clean the dust of the furniture made of fabric with the help of a vacuum cleaner. A “deep cleaning” at least once a year will remove the dirt and stain from the fabric and keep the fabric looking like new. If you can’t clean it yourself, take the help of an expert.

Light and Air System
If there is not enough light and air in the house, there is a lot of chance of creating a damp environment, and such an environment is one of the causes of furniture damage. Keep doors and windows open during the day to let in enough light and air. An exhaust fan can be set up in one corner of the room if the room has no windows. This will help reduce the humidity in the room.

Find the Right Place to Keep Furniture
Furniture should be placed in the area of the room that is most suitable for the furniture. In this case, the furniture cannot be kept very close to the wall. Furniture should be kept at a distance of at least 3-4 inches. Furniture should not be placed in the area of the house that receives direct sunlight. Otherwise, the color of the furniture will fade quickly.

Humidity
If the environment of the house is humid, the furniture is likely to have various problems. Special attention should be paid to ensure that the walls of the room are not damp. No furniture should be placed in front of the wall which is damp. Moreover, if the furniture is in contact with water for a long time, there is a possibility of swelling of the furniture. Therefore, care must be taken to ensure that no furniture is in contact with water.

Be Careful When Moving or Fitting Furniture
If you are not able to move or fit your furniture yourself, you should take the help of an expert. This will protect the furniture from damage. Do not pull or push furniture, especially when moving heavy furniture. If you plan to move the furniture, if there is an option of dismantling and fitting, dismantle the furniture properly and fit it in the place where you want to fit it.

Olive Oil
Furniture loses its shine due to prolonged use. You can use olive oil to restore the shine of the furniture. A soft cotton cloth with a small amount of olive oil and gently polishing the surface of the furniture will give the furniture a glossy finish.

Pets
Many people like to keep pets like dogs or cats indoors. These pets also sometimes damage furniture or fabric of furniture such as sofas or divans. Their sharp claws can damage furniture as well as fabric. Try to keep your pet’s nails short to get rid of such problems.

Stain Resistant Fabric
Many furniture manufacturers in the market now use stain-resistant fabrics. The advantage of using this type of fabric is that if something like tea or liquid suddenly falls on this fabric, it is not easily absorbed by the fabric, and if the liquid is removed immediately, no stain is left on the fabric. Besides, if you don’t want to face any kind of stain problem on the fabric, you can also select furniture made of leather.

Repair Furniture
Many times it is seen that if there is a crack in any part of the furniture, it takes a long time to repair it. This increases the possibility of damage to the furniture. Therefore, take proper steps to fix any cracks in the furniture as soon as possible. Plus, furniture does not look good and ruins the aesthetic of the drawing room if the crack is in the front or visible part of any furniture.

Termite Attack
The main enemy of wooden furniture is termites. This problem usually occurs in furniture due to the humidity of the environment. If the wood that is used to make furniture is prepared by chemical treatment to prevent termites, the possibility of termite attack on that furniture is greatly reduced. Therefore, before buying furniture, take this issue seriously.
Since termite damages furniture slowly, apply boric acid to the area as soon as you notice termite infestation and make sure the area receives sunlight.
