To keep wood furniture beautiful and strong in India, routine care is essential. Dust weekly with a soft, dry cloth. For deep cleaning, use a damp cloth (never soak wood) with a mild soap solution, then dry immediately. Every 6–12 months, oil hardwood pieces, use natural linseed, tung, or mineral oil following grain direction for lasting protection and sheen. Avoid harsh chemicals that strip finishes.
For scratches or dings, rub gently with matching wax sticks or touch-up markers. Address water rings with a mix of baking soda and water paste. For wobbly joints, use wood glue or call a carpenter for complex repairs. Keep furniture out of direct sunlight and away from damp areas to prevent warping.
