Damaged wooden surfaces, the trick to clean and polish them – as good as new

Varnished wooden furniture is easier to clean and retains its shine longer. A mixture of linseed oil and isopropyl alcohol is used as a cleaning agent here. This mixture can be enriched with glycerin for additional protection. Once applied, the mixture should be left to work for about ten minutes before being wiped off with a clean cotton cloth to remove residue and polish the surface.

Cleaning old wooden furniture

Old wooden furniture often requires special cleaning. A mixture of equal parts vinegar and olive oil can help remove dirt and dust. For heavily worn furniture, lemon juice can be used, while heavily damaged pieces are better treated without lemon juice. After cleaning with the mixture, the surface is wiped with a damp cloth and then left to dry before being polished with glycerin or furniture wax to restore the shine.

With these tips, you can keep your wooden furniture in top condition and preserve its natural beauty for a long time.
