High gloss furniture is a sleek modern furniture option for your home.
However, because of the process that is used to create this style of furniture, it can be susceptible to dents, chips and scratches and also requires regular cleaning.
High gloss furniture needs special care in order to retain its shine and natural beauty. Here are some tips to help you care for your high gloss furniture.
Avoid Corrosive Chemicals
If you want to make sure that you use the right cleaning solution for your high gloss furniture, you should buy a speciality cream polish that is specifically designed for high gloss furniture. You should avoid using a homemade substitute, unless it is simply water with mild dishwashing liquid.
If you are overly concerned about damaging your furniture, you should avoid using water directly on the surface until you are experienced in caring for your furniture because too much water can warp the high gloss finish. High gloss furniture is really expensive to repair. Therefore, if you want the best results from your cleaning efforts, try testing any cleaning polishes or water mixtures in a hidden area on the furniture before using it on the rest of the furniture.
Use a Damp Cloth
The key to cleaning high gloss furniture is to use a damp cloth but don't make the cloth too wet. You should start by wiping the surfaces of the furniture using minimal pressure and straight strokes. When you are done, make sure that you wipe any wet traces that remain, as they may leave spots once the furniture has dried.
The furniture should never be wiped using a dry dusting cloth as it can leave a scratch. You should never use microfibre cloths because these cloths also have abrasive fibres that can create fine scratches in the furniture. Dry cloths will ruin the look of your furniture overtime as they create a matte look.
How to Get Rid of Spots and Dirt
Getting risk of spots and stains on the furniture can be a bit challenging due to the nature of the stain or spot. If there is a spot or sticky area on the furniture, you should opt for a soapy solution such as a teaspoon of dish soap that has been diluted in a half gallon of water. Once the spot has been removed go over the surface to clean away the cleaning solution with a damp cloth that is clean. Finally, take a dry cloth and buff the remaining traces of water away.
If there are dirty marks on the furniture, you may need to start with a light cleaner to wipe on the surface of the mark. You should avoid applying pressure to the area just in case the dirty area contains some material that might cause damage to the furniture. Never use abrasive cleaning motions or cleaners that contain alcohol or solvents on high gloss furniture.
Although, this type of furniture might require somewhat more care than other types of furniture, you do not have to worry about upkeep for the furniture all of the time if you take the necessary steps to maintain it. If you want to avoid damaging your furniture, regular care and maintenance is extremely important for maintaining the look of this furniture.
