Mahogany furniture has a calm color, solid texture, no moth-eaten, no cracking, after decades and hundreds of years, the older the pulp, the better, and the material of mahogany hard density is large, after the log sawing, the drying cycle of the board is longer, to completely eliminate the stress inside the wood, it generally takes 3-5 years.
In order to reduce the cracking and deformation of mahogany sofas due to dry shrinkage, consumers should pay attention to maintenance after purchasing mahogany sofas:
(1) In order to protect the paint film from being scratched and to show the wood texture, a thick glass plate is generally placed on the countertop, and a small suction cup pad is used to separate the glass plate from the wooden countertop. It is not recommended to use transparent polyethylene crystal plates.
(2) For the top and bottom of the sofa that are not painted or have a thin paint film, you can apply beeswax or household wax by yourself, and then level it with an electric hair dryer. Protects the wood and reduces cracking deformation.
(3) In the three seasons of spring, autumn and winter, it is advisable to use a humidifier to keep the indoor air dry, and the indoor air humidity can also be adjusted by raising fish and flowers indoors. Note that if you don't live in the living room for a long time, such as placing a mahogany sofa, it is easy to cause the wood to shrink and deform.
(4) When the summer period comes, it is necessary to frequently turn on the air conditioner to drain moisture, reduce the moisture absorption and expansion of wood, and avoid the expansion and deformation of the structural parts and the cracks.
(5) Do not place near the heating in winter, do not overheat the indoor temperature, generally it is appropriate for people to wear sweaters indoors to feel comfortable.
(6) The position of the mahogany sofa in the room should be kept away from the door, window, tuyere and other parts with strong air flow. Don't get out of the sun.
(7) To keep the sofa tidy, you can wipe the dust with a dry rag every day, and it is not advisable to use chemical brighteners to avoid the paint film being sticky and damaged. In order to maintain the brightness of the lacquer film, the walnut kernels can be crushed and peeled, and then the gauze is sewn to make an oil wipe. After the surface of the mahogany is oiled, it is polished with gauze to remove the oil.
