Proper maintenance of storage space furniture not only enhances its functionality but also extends its life. Follow these tips from ARV Furniture to care for your dressers, cabinets, chests, beds with storage, and other space-saving furniture pieces:
đź§˝ 1. Regular Cleaning
Dust Weekly: Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust from surfaces.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Clean with a mild soap solution and damp cloth; avoid bleach or abrasive cleaners that can damage finishes.
Vacuum Drawers: Use a handheld vacuum to clean the interior of drawers or storage compartments.
🌡️ 2. Control Humidity & Temperature
Avoid Moisture: Keep furniture away from damp walls and ensure the room is well-ventilated.
Humidity Control: Use a dehumidifier in humid seasons to prevent wood warping or mold in enclosed storage.
🚪 3. Handle With Care
Don’t Overload: Avoid overstuffing drawers or cabinets; too much weight can cause warping or damage hardware.
Open Gently: Use handles instead of tugging from edges to prevent misalignment or cracks.
🔩 4. Check and Tighten Hardware
Inspect Regularly: Check hinges, handles, and sliders every few months.
Tighten Screws: Keep all fittings snug to ensure smooth operation and structural safety.
đź§Ľ 5. Maintain Finish
Polish Occasionally: Use furniture polish or wax specifically designed for wood or metal finishes to restore shine.
Protect Surfaces: Use coasters, mats, or liners inside compartments to avoid stains and scratches.
đźš« 6. Prevent Scratches and Dents
Use Felt Pads: Attach felt pads to the bottom of decorative items or baskets stored on top.
Be Mindful When Moving: Lift rather than drag furniture to prevent damage to both the piece and flooring.
🗂️ 7. Organize the Inside
Use Organizers or Bins: Helps keep contents neat and prevents wear on the interior surfaces.
Avoid Sharp Objects: Wrap or store sharp tools or items in protective sleeves or pouches.
🌞 8. Keep Away from Direct Sunlight
Prevent Fading: Direct sunlight can fade finishes or warp materials over time. Use curtains or blinds to shield from strong sun exposure.
