Top Tips For Maintaining Wooden Surfaces

It is no secret that all of us take pride in our homes. Every aspect of a house, from the front door to the back garden, is a little bit of you, with memories and meanings attached. With this in mind, it’s only natural to want your home to look good and feel comfortable.

One of the many ways we add character and breathe life into our homes is via the furniture we fill the space with. Each piece, from chairs and dining tables to work surfaces and even patio decking gives a space a particular feel and creates a sense of homeliness.

That said, for homeowners with wooden furniture and surfaces, keeping these pieces in good condition can seem challenging and overwhelming. However, with the proper knowledge and supplies, looking after wood in and around your home is simple and effective.

Here at Treatex, we’ve put together a couple of quick pointers to help you maintain your wooden surfaces and furniture.

Regular Cleaning

First on the list is the simplest but most commonly overlooked step, cleaning. For all wooden surfaces, from floorboards and decking to worktops, tables and chairs, keeping them clean from dust and grime is essential. When left uncleaned, dust gathers and forms layers which can result in the scratching of wooden surfaces. Don’t worry though, dusting and cleaning on a regular basis will prevent this.

Protect From Sunlight

Another top tip for keeping wooden surfaces healthy is to protect them from sunlight. For both indoor and outdoor wood, sunlight and direct UV exposure can cause bleaching, leading to pale, unhealthy looking surfaces.

Fortunately, protecting wooden surfaces from the damaging effects of UV rays is easy. By using our high-quality UV Oil or one of our exterior oils, you can rest assured your external surfaces are safe from sun and will retain their great appearance.

Use Polish

Another means of reviving your wooden surfaces is via the application of wax polish. Our wax polish is simple to apply, leaving surfaces with a fresh appearance and forming a non-slip water-resistant finish. What’s more, the proper application of wood polish can also remove small scratches and stains.

Use The Right Tools

Finally, when carrying out any of the above suggestions or applying a finish of any sort to wooden surfaces, it is important to use the correct equipment. Here at Treatex, we are proud to supply a range of accessories designed specifically for the application of our products. From brushes and rollers to paint trays, we’ve got what it takes to get your wooden surfaces looking great.
