Furniture Wax: The Best Maintenance for Your Furniture
What is furniture wax?
Furniture wax is a specially formulated wax to protect, refresh and enhance the natural beauty of wooden furniture. This wax forms a protective layer that protects wood from stains and moisture and provides a deep, rich shine. Furniture wax is available in a variety of shades and finishes, so it enhances and beautifies the original look of your furniture.
Why use furniture wax?
By using furniture wax, you extend the life of your furniture and ensure that it looks new for longer. Using wax helps to make scratches and minor damage less visible, while nourishing the wood. This prevents drying out and cracking, which is especially important for solid wood furniture.
Different types of furniture wax
There are different types of furniture wax, each with their own specific properties:
- Beeswax: Natural wax that provides a soft shine and nourishes the wood, ideal for antique furniture.
- Carnauba wax: Known for its hardness and long lasting protection, gives a high gloss finish.
- Colorless wax: Provides protection without changing the colour of the wood.
- Colored laundry: Helps to refresh the color or mask minor scratches and discolorations.
Application of furniture wax
Before applying furniture wax, it is important that the surface is clean and dry. Apply a small amount of wax with a soft cloth or brush and work in the direction of the wood grain. Allow the wax to soak in for a while and then polish for a beautiful shine. Repeat this treatment regularly for optimal results and long-lasting protection.
Maintenance tips
- Frequency: Use furniture wax depending on the intensity of use of your furniture, usually every 6 months.
- Test first: Always test a small area in an inconspicuous area to check if the wax gives the desired color and shine.
- Not too much: Excessive use of furniture polish can give a sticky surface. Apply thin layers and polish well afterwards.
