From incorporating bursts of colour to embracing the beauty of nature indoors, stay tuned as we guide you through some simple yet effective strategies to transform your home this spring!
There’s no way we could write this list without suggesting you carry out a good old spring clean!
December in particular is a very busy month for many of us, with countless social events, lots of Christmas shopping, and that strange week between Christmas and New Year where time doesn’t exist. It’s easy for the housework to get away from us, so when Spring finally rolls around, it’s a great idea to take some time to have a big clear out. You may stay on top of the hoovering or wiping down the surfaces or the laundry, but when’s the last time you cleaned the skirting boards or the back of that one kitchen cupboard?
Clean room by room, and don’t be afraid to spread it out over several days or even weeks – cleaning the whole house in one day can be exhausting and overwhelming.
Regular cleaning and maintenance of your solid wood furniture will ensure it looks beautiful for longer, preserving the charming aesthetic of the restored wood. Dust and dirt can build up on the surface, and if not properly removed, it can cause scratches. Reapplication of protective oils and waxes prevent the wood from drying out or cracking. This proper maintenance means you get the most from your investment, as well as making the most of this sustainable resource. It can also save you money on expensive repairs or restoration work later down the line!
Dust your solid wood furniture regularly with a soft, dry cloth to keep it free of dust and dirt on the surface. Less frequently, perform a deeper clean with a damp cloth and a mild soap: it’s important to avoid using any harsh chemicals, as these can damage the wood. For particularly stubborn dirt, gently use a soft brush. After cleaning, dry your solid wood furniture thoroughly to prevent any water damage.
After a deep clean, we recommend applying a hard wax oil. All of our furniture we build with our services is finished with this protective, water-repellent product, and we suggest this is reapplied at least every six months. This quick drying blend of natural oils and waxes offers exceptional durability, especially when followed by an application of a polishing wax.
Other ways of ensuring your solid wood furniture lasts as long as possible include:
