■ Moisture-proof treatment

Solid wood furniture: ventilated in time and dried in the shade.

Symptoms of humidity: Excessive humidity will lead to small water droplets on the surface of solid wood furniture, local discoloration of surface paint, and mold will breed when the humidity is serious. Because of the increase of moisture content, the local volume of wood expands, which eventually causes the deformation of furniture. However, the wooden connection parts in furniture will crack because of the excessive change of moisture content.

Moisture-proof maintenance: When solid wood furniture has no condensation and mildew, moisture-proof bags such as desiccant can be placed inside the furniture to absorb moisture. Wipe the outside with a dry towel and coat it with walnut oil to keep out the moisture. In addition, daily maintenance should also be paid attention to. Solid wood furniture should be maintained with special detergent. Can be evenly coated with protective wax or special cleaning agent, and then gently wiped to maintain its luster and moisture-proof.

Damping treatment: after the solid wood furniture is damp, if the situation is not serious, it should be ventilated and dried in the shade in time; If there is dew or mildew, it is necessary to dry the water droplets first, remove the mildew with a mild cleaning agent, and then remove the moisture.

Tip: When buying solid wood furniture, pay attention to the surface painting process. If the coating process is well covered, the moisture of solid wood furniture can be alleviated.

Panel furniture: keep the joints clean.

Humidity symptoms: panel furniture is generally treated by edge sealing, and its moisture resistance is stronger than that of solid wood. However, the joints of panel furniture will expand and deform due to the increase of moisture content, which will lead to panel cracking in serious cases.

Moisture-proof maintenance: pay attention to keep the joints clean, so as to avoid dust and impurities absorbing moisture and expanding, resulting in cracking. Sealing measures should be taken in the parts that are easy to absorb water, such as joints.

Moisturizing treatment: the first floor or basement, the ground is wet, should be placed under the panel furniture moisture-proof pad. After getting wet, put it in a moisture-proof bag in time to absorb water.

Tip: When purchasing panel furniture, you should choose furniture whose base material is not exposed, that is, furniture with good edge sealing technology to prevent the base material from getting wet.

Fabric furniture: do a good job of dust removal

Damp symptoms: fabric furniture will change color and decolor in the early stage due to long-term damp, and yellow spots or mildew spots will appear on the surface; In addition, the fabric loses elasticity after wetting, the tensile strength decreases and the fabric volume increases. After the wet period, the fabric will become brittle, the wear resistance will be seriously lost, and it will be easy to wear.

Moisture-proof maintenance: fabrics are easy to attach dust, so dust removal should be done at ordinary times to avoid mildew in wet weather.

Moisturizing treatment: For ordinary cloth sofa, if it is wet, you can use a hair dryer or dryer to dry it, but pay attention to keeping a certain distance between the hair dryer and the cloth surface. For fabric sofas with fine and complicated workmanship, it is best to use a special vacuum cleaner to absorb all the dust on the surface.

Tip: In wet weather, gently blowing the sofa with the air duct can remove the moisture in the sofa. If there is no skilled operation ability, or the sofa has been moldy in a large area, it is best to ask a professional cloth sofa cleaning team to solve it.

Leather furniture: special protective oil for friction

Humidity symptoms: leather furniture is in a humid environment for a long time, and the surface color of leather after chemical treatment is easy to change and the leather becomes hard; When the humidity exceeds 90%, mildew will occur.

Moisture-proof maintenance: before the arrival of hot and humid weather, dust should be removed with a soft wet rag, and then a layer of special protective oil for leather furniture, such as mink oil, sheep oil and leather oil, can not only play a role in moisture-proof, but also protect the color of leather furniture.

Moisturizing treatment: If mildew spots appear on the surface of leather furniture, use mildew remover to remove the mildew spots, and then apply leather maintenance oil.

Tip: If the area of mildew spots on the cortex is large and the cortex begins to harden, it is best to consult a professional for maintenance.

Tieyi furniture: wipe with a dry cloth to absorb water.

Humidity symptoms: wrought iron furniture will rust due to increased moisture, leading to decay.

Moisture-proof maintenance: this kind of furniture is best wiped with a dry rag in rainy days to absorb excess water.

Moisturizing treatment: If the surface of wrought iron furniture is rusty, you can brush it with a rag or toothbrush dipped in antirust agent, and then polish it with a dry cloth.

Tip: wrought iron furniture should not be close to places with high humidity such as bathrooms and kitchens. Moisture absorption bag can be placed near wrought iron furniture to dehumidify.

Rattan furniture: don't use force when it is wet.

Symptoms of moisture: rattan furniture will turn black and rot seriously when it is wet for a long time, and its toughness and firmness will be obviously reduced.

Moisture-proof maintenance: if there is scale in use, it is best to scrub it with salt water, which can not only decontaminate, but also make the rattan soft and elastic and ensure the water absorption of the rattan.

Moisturizing treatment: it can't be stressed when it is wet, so as to ensure that its knitting shape and gap are not deformed, and it will shrink to its original state after drying.

Tip: Generally speaking, rattan furniture is not easy to get wet. After wet weather, rattan furniture will return to its original shape and size.

■ Moisture-proof tools

Dehumidifying bag: activated carbon has strong adsorption capacity. It can be wrapped in cloth or sacks and placed in various places indoors to keep the indoor air dry.

Coffee grounds: It has dual functions of moisture absorption and deodorization. Put it into gauze bag, stockings or cotton socks, it is a convenient and easy-to-use dehumidifying small bag.

Moisture absorption box: necessary for wardrobe dehumidification. Common absorbent products on the market have the functions of dehumidification, fragrance, mildew prevention and deodorization. Moisture absorption boxes are mostly used for moisture absorption in wardrobes and shoe cabinets, and only need to be put into the cabinets when in use.

Plants: Hupilan and big leaf plants can absorb excess water in the space, form a small circulation system in the indoor space, and maintain the balance of indoor air. Dehumidify with plants and avoid choosing tropical plants.

Keep a certain distance from the ground

Furniture should not touch the ground in a large area. You can put some gaskets on the four mats of furniture to keep the furniture at a certain distance from the ground and promote ventilation.

Multi-window ventilation

When the weather is clear, you can open more windows for ventilation to ensure indoor air circulation. But it should be noted that when the weather is wet, don't open the window facing south. The south wind will bring water vapor into the room, which will not only fail to dehumidify, but also aggravate the indoor humidity. It's best not to open the window for air in rainy days.

Periodic dehumidification

Regularly use dehumidifier to adjust indoor humidity. Generally, the indoor air humidity is about 40%-60%. If no dehumidifier is installed, you can turn on the air conditioner to control the indoor humidity.

Use drying tools

Can be placed in the corner, under the bed, moisture-proof agent, moisture-absorbing box, activated carbon and other dry items to prevent moisture. Do not use non-professional cleaning products that are too wet to wipe the furniture surface for a long time.

Not suitable for sunbathing

Moisture-proof furniture is unreliable in the sun. Direct sunlight or exposure will deform and fade the furniture. In hot and humid weather, warm and humid airflow not only can't get rid of moisture, but also aggravate the moisture phenomenon.
