Wooden furniture cleaning part 1
February 7th, 2010
All wooden furniture is made from the same or similar material. Regular cleaning for all types of wooden furniture is essential on regular basis. Our expert cleaners will tackle every challenge and leave satisfactory results.
Doors & woodwork
*To remove surface dirt, dust with a dry towel.
*Tie a soft, old towel over the bristle end of a broom and brush into the angles and crevices. Use a toothbrush to get into tight corners or detailed molding.
*For stained wood, use soapy wood cleaner and mix with water according to the directions on the label.
*For painted wood, all-purpose cleaner is the quickest and cheapest option.
*To remove grease and surface dirt from paint using sugar soap. Using a sponge, start at the bottom, scrub in small circular motions. Rinse the sponge often and thoroughly to avoid putting dirt back on the door. Keep the solution clean and won’t have to rinse.
Doormats
At some point, a doormat will have absorbed all the dirt it can take. Then it simply becomes a bridge over which dirt travels into your house.
*First, knock out the dirt. Grab two adjacent corners of the doormat and shake hard.
*The loosest dirt will come off easily. Then, wearing goggles, drape the mat over a post or clothesline and use a heavy stick to beat it. After all the loose dirt have been beaten out, take a wire brush to dislodge the stubborn stuff.
*If wax or chewing gum is still clinging to the mat, press an ice cube against the offending lump until it’s brittle enough to scrape off with a spoon – a simple and effective solution.
*To remove serious stains on a doormat made of rubber or rope, use an aerosol spot remover.
*Another option is gentle cycle washing machine cleaning.
*If the doormat is wooden and is seriously stained you may need to strip off the existing coating, sand right down and then re-varnish.
Drawers
*Empty and clean the drawer
- wooden drawer: use soapy wood cleaner a mix of 1 litre warm water and 2 tablespoons washing up liquid in a large bowl.
- laminated plastic: use 30ml of white vinegar in a litre of warm water.
- metal drawers: use soda bicarbonate in a small bowl and add just enough water to make a paste
*Thoroughly soak sponge and squeeze well, then wipe away at the drawer, inside and out.
*Let the drawer air dry, but if in a hurry, dry it with a paper towel.
Customer Notice: Our home cleaning experts never mix cleaning substances due to following high safety standards.
