Protecting The Veneers

 

In the event, you are considering protecting the veneer sheets, it’s important to follow proper maintenance procedures. No matter whether one is using walnut veneers or teak veneers, each of the elegant veneer sheets requires a great deal of care. Only then its durability can be strengthened.

 

Routine Maintenance

 

Do you want to maintain the natural shine of your veneer sheets? Yeah! For that, some standard maintenance should be carried out. For instance, wiping off dirt and debris with proper cleaning materials would improve the shine of any natural veneer. 

 

As a part of veneer maintenance, one must keep in mind that veneer sheets, especially wooden veneers, are water-sensitive. This means water can damage the sheets due to condensation. So water should be avoided at all costs during the cleaning process.

 

Regular Dusting

 

Just like laminated furniture, the key process to keeping any custom furniture created with wood veneer very clean is by dusting the furniture regularly.

 

No Use of Abrasive Solution

 

You must be well aware of the fact that veneer sheets don’t get stained easily. But this doesn’t make veneer sheets stain-proof. Still, if stains are present on your veneered furniture, don’t ever use abrasive solutions for cleaning stains. The abrasive cleaning agents would result in wax build-up and affect the finish of the sheet. So, for removing stains from the veneer, a soft or mild stain removal should be used.

 

Proper Cleaning

 

To take good care of any veneer sheets, a solution of soap and water would be ideal. However, a soft sponge or a microfiber cloth must be used for getting rid of the dust particles from the top of the sheets.

 

Oil Polish

 

To get rid of the scratches on the wooden veneer furniture, oil polishing must be done. The oil polish must be applied to an area of scratch and then it should be gently polished with an extremely soft microfiber cloth. This process should be done till the scratch fades away.
