Tips For Antique Furniture Care

Antiques are one of those items that are supposed to increase in value with age. The only way that wouldn’t happen is if the piece becomes damaged. A broken or faded antique won’t hold much value. That is why it is important to take care of the antiques in your home. Here’s some tips on how to make that happen:

Avoid Heat & Sunlight

Where you put your antique piece can make a world of difference with regard to its care. It should never be placed too close to a heating vent or radiator. The blasts of hot air can cause veneers to lift off or joints to dry out and crack. Remember, these pieces are made from wood and when exposed to a dry atmosphere the moisture in the wood is going to shrink and crack. If you’ve ever seen a piece of wood that hasn’t been treated that has been sitting outside, then you’ll know what this looks like. Having a decent humidifier in the room can help prevent this drying process.

This also means keeping your antique away from direct sunlight. You should know how the sun tracks over your house. If there is a room that gets blasted at a particular time of day, then perhaps you keep the shades closed for those few hours. As a rule, you should always close the curtains if you’re going out for the day.

Don’t Over Polish

Dusting is the best way to clean antique furniture. But that means just doesn’t. You shouldn’t use a spray or polish every time you clean your antiques. In fact, you should only polish your furniture with a high grade wax once a year. Always try to rub in the direction of the grain and then buff with a lint-free cloth. If you’re using an antique dining room table frequently, then a 50/50 mixture of vinegar and water is a good cleaner.

The best part of collecting antiques is bringing that new piece home. That might require clearing space. That’s when to call in Junk King Cleveland. These are the expert junk haulers who can open up all kinds of space in your home. Even if you want to put that antique in storage down in the basement or attic, Junk King can first make room by carting off the stuff that doesn’t matter anymore. Make room for your antiques by having Junk King Cleveland clear away the unwanted stuff first. Smart move.
