Regular hygiene
You should use a soft, non-fiber cloth or a small-fiber cloth to wipe dust on the dining table, chairs and cabinets to limit dust from sticking for a long time. For hard stains or food residue, you can use a slightly damp cloth to clean, then wipe again with a dry cloth to avoid water staining on the interior surface.
Avoid using strong detergents
Do not use strong chemicals, corrosive detergents or hard cleaning pads on the surface of the dining table because they can easily scratch and damage the paint coating. For wooden or glass tables and chairs, only use mild cleaning solutions as recommended by the manufacturer.
Use a lining and a lining base
Tablecloths, table mats or dish mats will help protect the table surface from scratches, high temperatures and humidity. Cup holders also need to be used regularly to limit water stains or damage caused by heat from hot drinks. In addition to protective functions, these accessories also contribute to increasing the aesthetics of the dining space.
Protect the table surface from high temperatures
You should use a pot holder or heat-resistant pad when placing a pan, pot, or hot plate on the dining table. Placing hot food directly on the table surface can cause discoloration or damage to the interior surface, especially for wooden tables and glossy painted tables.
Periodic polishing and waxing
Depending on the material and finishing layer, the dining table needs to be periodically maintained to maintain its gloss. For wooden tables, they can be polished or waxed according to the manufacturer's instructions to increase durability and maintain natural beauty.
Timely handling of damage
Scratches, chicks, discolorations, or surface depressions need to be repaired early to avoid widespread damage. At the same time, you should regularly check the screws, joints, and structure of tables and chairs to promptly tighten or repair them, limiting the risk of unsafety when using them.
Maintain a stable environment
Dining room furniture should not be exposed to direct sunlight, high humidity or sudden temperature changes for a long time because it can cause fading, deformation or cracking, especially with wooden furniture. A dehumidifier or humidifier can be used to maintain a stable environment in seasonally changing weather conditions.
