Your Guide to Maintaining Your New Timber Furniture

The benefits of timber bedroom furniture are almost endless. The natural makeup of timber offers homeowners exceptional durability, versatility and easy care. In fact, with a simple maintenance routine, you can keep your furniture in perfect condition for years to come.

At Naturally Timber, we work with a diverse range of locally sourced timber species and have the expertise to guide you on the best ways to maintain your furniture.

Dust Regularly

Regular dusting can seem unnecessary when it comes to maintaining the appearance of your wooden pieces, but it is an effective way to remove dust buildup from the surface directly. By dusting along the grain of the wood with a soft cloth, you can avoid streaking and tagging.

Avoid Sun Exposure

The harsh and infamous Australian sun is known to emit strong rays, which will quickly deteriorate the quality of your timber bedroom furniture.

We always advise our clients to take preventative measures, like installing UV window shades, to ensure their pieces are securely fitted away from the sun. This can help you avoid fading, cracking, or even warping over time.

Make Use of Coasters 

Many make the mistake of assuming wooden furniture is resilient to water rings and marks. But the reality is that wood can degrade over time when faced with varying temperatures. This can lead to you leaving drinks and dishes on your bedroom furniture without protective measures. Coasters are a cost-effective way to avoid the deterioration of the surface layer of wood from spills and marks.

Forgo Abravise Cleaning

With natural materials, like timber, there is no need for abrasive cleaning or harsh chemical products. In fact, intensive maintenance can end up doing more harm than good. Gentle cleaning techniques and a soft cloth are all you need to maintain your furniture’s crisp condition.

Custom-built, timber bedroom furniture is an investment in your home. With little attention and effort, you can ensure it’s long-lasting appeal in a way that continues to bring warmth and character to your space.
