Wood is a material that has been used for centuries to produce furniture, appreciated for its durability and strength as well as high aesthetic values. It is perfect for both residential buildings and public facilities. An alternative to it are wood-like materials, which have an equally beautiful and impressive appearance. However, both types of surfaces require special and regular care for the furniture to look beautiful for a long time.
Stylish wooden furniture that is not easy to care for
We can admire the exceptionally beautiful appearance of the furniture. Tables and chairs, as well as wardrobes, chests of drawers, bookcases and shelves are made of wood. The interior, dominated by wood, is cozy and warm, encouraging you to spend more time there. It is atmospheric and timeless, wood has been present in fashion trends for several years and everything indicates that it will stay with us for a long time.
However, wood has its disadvantages. Especially on varnished furniture, unsightly streaks and fingerprints are visible, which results not only from everyday use, but also from improper care. It is a mistake to use preparations containing abrasive substances to clean them. Irreversible discoloration is caused by strong kitchen detergents.
Discoloration may also occur on waxed furniture. It is worth using preparations containing oils that leave a beautiful shine on the surface. We proceed similarly when caring for wood-based furniture. It is recommended not to use too many preparations to avoid the feeling of stickiness on the surface and the formation of unsightly streaks.
Wooden furniture is subject to a natural aging process and is susceptible to external factors, so it requires not only care, but also protection. They should be impregnated and maintained regularly to ensure that they are covered with a protective layer throughout their entire period of use. It is also worth paying attention to the type of wood the furniture is made of. In order for both care and maintenance to be carried out correctly and effectively, they must be applied as intended. There are products dedicated to soft and hard wood. Aging processes also vary. Therefore, using identical care and maintenance for different types of wood is a categorical mistake.
Care, maintenance and shine of furniture in 2 steps
Proper care of furniture made of wood and materials imitating wood is extremely important. It is an uncomplicated process, but performing it regularly guarantees that the furniture will remain in excellent condition for a long time. To care for wooden and wood-based furniture, we only use preparations intended for these types of surfaces. Only then can we be sure that the activity performed is safe for them. Taking into account the unique properties of wood, two preparations have been created – Clinex Delos Mat and Clinex Delos Shine, which clean and care for both wooden and wood-based surfaces, as well as laminated ones.
In order to prepare the surface for care treatments, we use Clinex Delos Mat, whose task is to clean and maintain furniture. The second step is to care for them, refresh them and shine them with Clinex Delos Shine . It is based on polymers that protect the surface and prevent streaks. They effectively accelerate the evaporation of the preparation and make it dry in a much shorter time. It uses a new formula, supplemented with a concentrated emulsion – avocado oil, which nourishes and provides long-lasting protection to the furniture. Antistatic ingredients create a protective layer on the furniture surface that makes it difficult for dust to settle, while the Delos Shine formula ensures convenient application of the product. The composition does not contain silicone oils, which makes subsequent washing more convenient and prevents the product from building up on the furniture.
Clinex Delos Shine and Delos Mat
We apply Clinex Delos Shine to the surface to be cleaned using a cloth or spray it and then spread it evenly. Wooden, wood-based and laminated furniture is cleaned, protected and polished without unsightly streaks.
Regular care of wooden and wood-based furniture is a guarantee that they will serve us longer, maintaining their aesthetic and beautiful appearance, especially in rooms exposed to dust and other dirt. This type of dirt adversely affects the condition of the wood, even if it is varnished. Wood gradually loses its aesthetic appearance. At first, this process may not be noticeable, but over time, the furniture will lose its charm and shine.
How to help yourself with wood care?
If you have furniture made of wood, it is worth ensuring proper conditions of use first. For wood it should not be too humid or too warm and dry. Both humidity and temperature fluctuations in a wide range harm wood. When the furniture is new, regular care is enough to keep it looking beautiful. Problems may arise when the furniture is antique, has some damage to the top varnish, or is completely devoid of it. Then they are most exposed to moisture, the changes of which adversely affect the wood.
In order for the work to focus only on furniture care, they must first be prepared for it. Therefore, the wood structure should be properly protected, e.g. by applying varnish. Then the use of professional and precisely adapted preparations will generate benefits.
Protection of aluminum furniture
Aluminum furniture or furniture with aluminum accessories is extremely beautiful and stylish. However, even if properly cared for, these elements are exposed to unfavorable conditions. It is worth remembering that appropriately selected preparations should be used when caring for such furniture. We treat wooden elements with wood cleaning agents, and for aluminum elements we use other cleaning agents intended for this type of surfaces. Only such care with professional means will give the expected results.
Aluminum covered with a special coating has properties that perfectly protect against the adverse effects of air and its components. It’s different if the furniture is made of unprotected metal. They look great, but require more care. Aluminum, like any popular metal, undergoes a slow oxidation process. Despite the use of professional products for its care, this phenomenon continues. Therefore, it is worth keeping in mind that the air humidity in the room is constant and as low as possible. This will have a positive effect on aluminum furniture. Moreover, unprotected aluminum is sensitive to chemicals. Therefore, it is worth using proven cleaning and care products from the Clinex brand, which are dedicated to aluminum. These are neutral and gentle products for him, providing additional protection.
