• Finally leave it on for a few minutes and then clean it with a dry cloth. This will give your wooden furniture its shine again.

Olive oil and lemon

This is a natural blend that is often used when it comes to treating wooden furniture .

This application makes wood look really shiny and like new, including furniture that has already been varnished.

• Simply mix the same amounts of the two ingredients together, then apply the solution to the furniture, and then let the product dry.

Olive oil and alcohol

This method is used on furniture that has been varnished to make it look shiny again. It also removes nicks and scratches.

• As with the previous method, you should mix the two ingredients in equal proportions. Then apply the mixture to the wood and let it dry naturally.

Olive oil and red wine

This is an ideal mixture for dark wooden furniture, as well as for wooden furniture that is difficult to shine due to its opacity.

• All you have to do is mix a little olive oil with red wine and then apply that mixture to the wood.
• You should then apply a layer of glycerin to the furniture. This acts as a protective and shiny film.

Alternative treatment of wooden furniture

Remember, wooden furniture needs maintenance. The respective care depends on the product and the care products used. However, wooden furniture also needs alternative care:

Protect the wood from the sun and heat

Heat and too much sun can be very aggressive and harmful to wooden furniture. The wooden furniture can lose its color or finish as a result. At the same time, too much sun and heat can even leave stains on the furniture.

That is why you should, for example, put fabrics on your wooden furniture to protect it.

Maintaining the right climate

Wooden furniture is often very sensitive to changes in the climate. Their structure can crack or be compromised if it is too dry or too wet inside or outside.

To avoid problems, try to maintain an ambient temperature of 23 ° C and a humidity of 42%.

Avoid sudden movements

When changing the position of your furniture, it is important not to make sudden movements. Because these could ruin or damage the wooden surfaces.

To successfully mobilize furniture, you should therefore lift it off the floor or use a furniture mover.
