Beauty in the eyes can make someone happy and feel comfortable. Do you know that it is important to take care of the beauty of your furniture to make your room more beautiful? The beauty of your furniture needs to be taken care of to return it like new. Do not let the passage of time, your furniture becomes dull.
Here’s how to restore your furniture to be new:
1. First, clean your furniture first.
Your furniture must be cleaned to make it easier for you in the next process. You can clean it with a rag. Washcloths can be obtained anywhere. However, I recommend using a cloth that has a high absorption capacity, making it suitable for cleaning dirt such as dust or stains on your furniture. Then use sandpaper to rub on the top layer of the furniture, this is so that the surface on the wood of your furniture is open and easy to absorb.
2. Use wood paint
Use wood paint to polish it, but before that, test the wood paint again on the wood surface, this is done to make sure the color used is appropriate or not from the original wood color. Then, determine the number of layers and calculate the duration needed to get a beautiful color. You can use a regular and unidirectional technique so that the wood paint you give is evenly distributed perfectly. If you have given paint to your furniture, make sure the paint absorbs and dries. Because it can make it easier to clean it with your rag.
3. Coating with varnish
Do you know about varnish?
Varnish is a transparent liquid used to make your furniture shiny, which gives varnish into the finishing process. Varnish itself can protect wood surfaces from household chemicals. Like if you have vinegar in the kitchen. Then the varnish will protect it to keep it beautiful. In addition, varnish can also protect your furniture from alcohol. Coat your wooden furniture with varnish paint, so that your furniture lasts a long time. Durable what is meant is if it is scratched, it will be disguised, so it will still look beautiful like there are no scratches. And besides that it is not dull. Do not shake the varnish so that bubbles do not appear. Previously sanded first, then use a brush or cloth evenly. And keep in mind, avoid brushes that can wet the dry varnished area. Don’t forget to wear safety gloves.
