Hot Summer, Furniture Maintenance Tips (2)
During the use of furniture, it is easily damaged by various factors, such as friction, moisture, ultraviolet light and so on. Proper maintenance can protect the surface structure of the furniture and extend its service life. This article summarizes some tips for maintaining furniture made of three common materials.

Leather furniture
First: sun protection
The temperature is high in summer, so leather furniture should avoid direct sunlight for a long time, especially leather furniture. If exposed to the sun for a long time, it will lose its luster and become deformed.
Second: Proper maintenance
People tend to sweat in summer. High temperature and humidity will cause chemical reactions between organic matter in sweat and leather. The pores of leather furniture will absorb sweat and easily produce odor. Therefore, you should wipe it frequently in summer and maintain it regularly with professional cleaning and care products.
Third: moisture-proof
Rain is common in summer, and leather furniture must avoid rain, moisture on the ground and other factors that may cause mold on the bottom of the sofa. Where appropriate, consider using a desiccant.

Metal furniture
First: Moisture-proof and rust-proof
There are often thunderstorms in summer. Metal furniture is afraid of moisture. If it is in a humid environment for a long time, metal furniture will rust. In order to prevent this kind of thing from happening, you need to use oil cloth and soft detergent frequently. Scrub, if spots appear on the iron furniture, it should be repaired and painted in time. Try not to use it in a humid environment. If condensation is found on the surface, wipe it with a dry cloth in time to prevent rust.
Second: Pay attention to ventilation, cleaning and maintenance
If water mist appears on the surface of the furniture, you can use a soft dry cloth to wipe the water mist condensed on it and keep the room ventilated.
If the ventilation effect is not ideal, you can also use charcoal or desiccant to absorb moisture from the room. Especially for metal furniture parts, once there is moisture, it must be dealt with immediately.
Rattan furniture
First: Moisture-proof and stuffy-proof
The weather in summer is humid and sultry. If it is stored in a particularly humid place for a long time, mold spots will easily appear, and mold will easily breed in the gaps of the rattan. Therefore, you must pay great attention to waterproofing and moisture-proofing, and try to stay away from humid areas.
Second: sun protection
Rattan furniture is prone to cracking if placed in a hot, dry place. Therefore, rattan furniture should be kept away from direct sunlight to prevent the rattan material from fading and deteriorating. Also do not get too close to the heat source to avoid deformation, bending, or cracking.
Third: Proper maintenance, cleaning and pest control
Pay attention to indoor ventilation, and regularly wipe rattan furniture with a damp cloth. However, it should not be too damp, and the parts in contact with the ground should be avoided from being immersed in water. In addition, there are many insect pests in summer, so you can wipe it with light salt water and clean it regularly. It can remove stains while maintaining flexibility, and it also has the function of repelling insects.
