Carefully Choose Wood Care Products
It's no wonder there's a lot of confusion about what
wood-care products to use. Store shelves are stacked with countless
brands of wax, polish, spray and oil. Unless your furniture is
sold as unfinished, or the finish has deteriorated, when you
clean your furniture you're actually cleaning the finish, not
the wood. Proper care can prolong the life of a finish, making
the surface of furniture slippery so that objects slide along
it without scratching. For new furniture, read manufacturers'
tags and literature. Consider consulting a conservator for tips
on caring for especially valuable antiques and heirlooms.
One common myth is that wood furniture is "alive."
It does not "breathe," so don't worry about clogging
up pores with wax. It does not need to be "nourished"
or "fed'' with oily polishes. Changes in humidity, not a
lack of oil, cause wood to crack.
PASTE WAX has been used for centuries as a finishing
material and a furniture care product. If used properly, paste
wax will provide a thick, hard, lasting finish. Liquid wax is
similar, but typically provides a thinner coating. Waxes dry
hard so they do not smear and attract dust and dirt. Paste wax
typically lasts six months to a couple years, depending on how
much the furniture is used and how many coats are applied. Paste
wax will help delay the formation of water rings, giving you
a little extra time to wipe up the moisture. Some people, especially
antique lovers, prefer the soft sheen provided by waxes. Wax
will not interfere with future refinishing.
Make sure you buy a wax designed especially for wood
furniture. Waxes for cars, shoes or other finishes might harm
furniture.
OILY CLEANERS and polishes will not provide a lasting,
hard coat. Those containing silicone oil will create a nice shine
and a slippery surface, but they can interfere with refinishing.
This type of oil can seep through cracks in the finish into the
wood. That can ruin the new finish later. Be aware that labels
often fail to say whether products contain silicone oil. Follow
the manufacturers' instructions when using spray or liquid polishes.
If you have waxed your furniture and want to switch to an oil-based
polish or vice-versa, first clean the furniture with mineral
spirits or a solvent-based wax remover. Do this in a spot with
plenty of ventilation away from any heat source or sparks. First
test the product you are using in an inconspicuous spot. When
the piece is clean and dry, wax or polish. If you accidentally
mix wax and oil, the finish will turn cloudy. In that case, wipe
the finish off and clean it with mineral spirits or a solvent-based
wax remover. Wax or polish when the finish is dry.
