At House of Aashari, we believe natural wood furniture is more than just a functional piece—it’s an heirloom. Teak and oak furniture are prized for their durability and timeless elegance. With the right furniture care tips, your pieces can last for generations.
1. Clean Your Furniture the Right Way
Teak and oak are natural woods that require gentle care.
Dust weekly using a soft, dry microfiber cloth.
For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap, then wipe dry.
Avoid harsh chemicals that can strip natural oils and finishes.
Teak furniture care tip: Oil your teak furniture once or twice a year to maintain its golden tone.
Oak furniture care tip: Apply natural beeswax polish every 6–8 months to protect the grain and add luster.
2. Protect from Heat and Sunlight
Place furniture away from direct sunlight to avoid fading.
Use coasters, placemats, and runners to protect against spills and heat marks.
Rotate pieces every few months if exposed to sunlight.
3. Handle Spills Immediately
Wipe up spills with a dry cloth as soon as possible.
For sticky spills, use a damp cloth followed by a dry one.
Dining table care: Always use a table runner when serving hot dishes.
Coffee table care: Coasters are a must for cold drinks to avoid water rings.
4. Regular Maintenance is Key
Teak furniture can be left to develop a natural silver patina if you prefer; just clean regularly.
Oak furniture benefits from periodic waxing to maintain moisture balance.
5. Seasonal Care
Natural wood expands and contracts with changes in temperature and humidity.
Avoid placing furniture directly near heaters or AC vents.
Use breathable covers for outdoor teak furniture and bring them indoors during harsh weather.
