Summer is here and with it comes the heat and humidity that can take a toll on your home furniture. Whether you have leather home furniture, fabric sofa suites, dining room sets, or occasional chairs, it's important to take steps to maintain their appearance and prolong their lifespan. Here are a few tips on how to maintain different types of furniture during the summer:
Leather Home Furniture
Leather is a durable material, but it can dry out and crack in the sun. To protect your leather sofa suites or other leather furniture from the sun, use blinds or curtains to filter the light and keep the room cool. You can also apply a leather conditioner once a month to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
Fabric Sofa Suites
Fabric sofa suites can be prone to fading and staining in the summer. To protect your fabric furniture, place it out of direct sunlight and use slipcovers to protect the fabric from spills and stains. Vacuum the fabric regularly to remove dust and dirt, and spot-clean any spills immediately.
Dining room sets made of wooden table tops can be affected by humidity and heat. To protect your wooden furniture, use a humidifier to keep the air in your home at a comfortable level. You can also use coasters and placemats to protect the tabletop from heat and moisture.
Metallic Furniture
Metallic furniture, such as shelving units, bed frames, coffee tables and servers can be prone to rusting in the summer. To protect your metallic furniture, keep it dry and wipe it down regularly to remove any moisture. You can also use a rust inhibitor to prevent rust from forming.
Glass Table Tops
Glass table tops can be prone to scratches and cracks in the summer. To protect your glass table tops, use coasters and placemats to prevent scratches and avoid placing hot items directly on the glass. Clean the glass regularly with a glass cleaner to remove dust and dirt.
Occasional Chairs
Occasional chairs can be affected by the sun, heat and humidity. To protect your occasional chairs, place them out of direct sunlight and use slipcovers to protect the leather or fabric from fading and staining.
Shelving Units
Shelving units can be made of various materials like wood, metal, glass, etc. To maintain the integrity of your shelving units, make sure to dust them regularly and avoid placing heavy items on them. If they are made of wood, make sure they are protected from humidity by using a humidifier.
Coffee Tables
Coffee tables can be made of various materials like wood, glass, metal, etc. To maintain the integrity of your coffee table, make sure to dust them frequently and do not place heavy items on them. If they are made of wood, ensure that they are protected from humidity by using a humidifier.
By following these tips, you can enjoy your furniture for many summers to come. Remember, keeping your furniture in good condition requires regular attention and maintenance, but with a little effort, you can keep it looking great for years to come.
