Dio Furniture Manufacturer Shares: How to Maintain Office Furniture After Purchase How to maintain office furniture after purchase? This is a common headache for many. Proper upkeep can significantly extend the lifespan of your office furniture. Below, Dio’s editorial team shares some essential maintenance tips.
1. Office furniture must not be exposed to direct sunlight or placed in excessively dry conditions to prevent wood cracking and warping;
2. Office furniture must not be situated in highly humid areas to avoid wood swelling from moisture, which may lead to decay over time and drawers becoming jammed;
3. Office furniture must not be cleaned with alkaline solutions or boiling water, nor should high-concentration alcohol or banana water be placed on surfaces;
4. Do not rinse laminate-surfaced office furniture with water or wipe it with damp cloths. Never immerse it in alkaline solutions to prevent the laminate from delaminating or losing its bond.
V. When moving office furniture, avoid dragging or pulling it forcefully. Lift and place it gently, ensuring it is positioned level and stable. If the floor is uneven, pad the legs securely to prevent damage to mortise-and-tenon joints.
VI. Do not fill cracks in office furniture with putty mixed with pigments differing from the original lacquer colour, as this may leave unsightly marks. Avoid placing scalding items such as freshly boiled water directly on surfaces to prevent lacquer damage.
VII. Reapply a coat of clear lacquer every few years to maintain the furniture’s lustre and preserve its finish.
8. Placing a few Sichuan peppercorns inside furniture deters rodents, while camphor balls or tobacco leaves repel woodworm and cockroaches.
Dio Office Furniture recommends that consumers do not neglect their purchased office furniture after acquisition. Regular maintenance is essential to ensure its longevity and durability.
