How To Take Care Of Oak Furniture
It is becoming popular nowadays to purchased unfinished pieces of oak furniture and use your creativity to turn them into beautiful pieces to show off in your home. If you are not familiar with this process, you may be wondering why people do this.
Oak is very different from other types of wood. It is of higher quality, even unfinished, and furniture made from oak has a combination of soft and hard wood that gives it a unique look. Oak also has several natural shades, allowing it to blend in with the other furniture in your room. Finally, there are many natural patterns in oak, leading to a variety of styles in unfinished furniture.
Over time, the color of the oak will mellow. If you take good care of your furniture, this will make it look even more unique and beautiful. The primary thing you need to be concerned with is protecting it against stains.
If you plan to keep your furniture indoors, the first thing you need to do is condition the wood. This protects it from stains and infestations, as well as making it look the way you want it to look. You can do this by either staining or waxing the piece of furniture. It is best to stain tabletops and sides; you can do this with a product such as Ronseals English Oak hardwood furniture stain. Table legs and the like should be waxed with high quality beeswax and buffed with a clean, dry lint free cloth once the wax dries. The staining and waxing process should be repeated once every three months for the first several years, then cut back to once every six months. During winter, the furniture may need to be treated more often.
You should also clean your furniture once every three months. It is important to use natural-based oil cleansers and not chemical cleansers, as the latter can strip the wood. In between, if you get something on the furniture, you can sand the stain away and then rewax it. You should also use a conditioner like linseed oil or lemon oil every six months.
Oak drawers need to be waxed at least once every six months, and you should consider staining the top of the drawers.
Outdoor furniture needs to be treated somewhat differently than indoor furniture. The process is similar, but you need to keep in mind that outdoor furniture is more affected by weather than indoor furniture. Outdoor furniture therefore needs to be waterproofed so that rain and other poor weather conditions don't warp it. You can do this using an oil based stain. You also need to be careful of mildew when conditioning outdoor furniture; for this reason, it is not safe to use linseed oil to condition it. Lemon oil can still be used.
Taking proper care of oak furniture can be a lot of work, but it is worth it. If you take the time to condition your furniture properly, you will have a gorgeous oak set that will last you for years to come.
