Wood furniture Cleaning by the Best and Most Thorough Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Evanston, IL. Dusting and shining your wood furniture regularly, is a must, but over time, polishes and dust can combine to leave a dark film on tables, chairs, shelves, etc. To keep your wood furniture looking its best, you need a periodic deep cleaning, says the 45 Year Old Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Evanston, IL., Dial-A-Maid.

The first step to deep cleaning your wood furniture, is to dust the piece well, with a microfiber cloth, to remove the surface dirt.

Then, always start to clean with a gentle cleaner and move up to stronger ones, as needed. A weak solution of water and dishwashing soap is a good cleaner to start with. Dip a cloth in the solution, wring it out and wipe the entire piece. Be sure the cloth is damp, not wet. Don’t saturate the wood either. Rinse with another cloth and dry with a third cloth, says the Most Thorough Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Evanston, IL., Dial-A-Maid.

If the wood is stained or has a polish buildup, here is a way to revitalize it. Steep 2 tea bags in boiling water. Let it cool to room temperature. Take a soft cloth, wring it out in the tea until its damp, and wash the wood. The tannic acid from the tea is great for maintaining the wood. The wood will shine, says the Premier Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Evanston, IL., Dial-A-Maid.

To remove water ring stains from wood furniture, use a non-gel toothpaste on the spot and rub with a soft cloth. The stain should be lifted. However, for stubborn stains, mix equal parts baking soda and toothpaste. Wipe it onto the stubborn stain. Rinse it off with a clean, damp cloth. Dry with another cloth.

To remove an ink mark, mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda and 1 teaspoon of water in a thin paste. Apply to the stain and rub gently with a soft cloth until the stain disappears. Wipe it off with a clean, damp cloth, dry thoroughly, says Dial-A-Maid.

Once the wood furniture is cleaned, wipe a thin layer of wood polish onto it to preserve the finish and add shine. You can use lemon oil or mix 1 cup of olive oil with ¼ cup white vinegar, pour it on a soft cloth and work it into the wood, wiping with the grain. Buff well. The life of your wood furniture will be greatly enhanced and your furniture will look shiny and lovely, Dial-A-Maid, says.
