* Do not use aggressive cleaning agents and brushes with hard bristles to clean wooden furniture, as this will cause micro-damages and promote the attraction of dirt. Use, for example, soapy water, which is applied to the wood surface with a soft brush in the direction of the grain and then rinsed with clean water. Wipe off excess moisture with a soft cloth or paper towel. If the furniture has lost its appeal, sand the wood and apply a new layer of protective agent.

* To prevent the accumulation of dirt in the crevices of wicker and rattan furniture, occasionally vacuum them with a vacuum cleaner and wash them with a jet of water. Raw rattan furniture is treated one by one with an emulsion made of water, linseed oil and a little turpentine. Remember that rattan and wicker furniture should not be left outside during the winter, because then it loses its color and cracks.

* Metal furniture must also be carefully maintained. The most common problem with this furniture is oxidation. The use of alkaline care products also contributes to this.

* A high-pressure device with a rotating nozzle will be useful for cleaning cast iron furniture, which effectively removes dirt. Cast iron furniture can be left outside in winter, while painted or lacquered metal furniture should be winterized in a dry place.
