Using beer and paraffin oil to clean wooden furniture
To remove stubborn stains on the surface of wooden furniture, using beer or paraffin oil is a popular method. Just use a soft cloth, soak it in a little beer or paraffin oil and gently rub it on the wooden furniture. For paraffin oil, after wiping clean and drying, you should use a regular cloth to wipe it again along with turpentine oil, to enhance the shine and brightness of your wooden furniture.
Using vinegar and tea to clean non-varnished wooden furniture
To clean non-varnished wooden furniture, you can make a cleaning solution from simple ingredients. Take 10g of salt mixed with 90g of detergent in 1 liter of water. Use this solution to brush the surface of the wood with a suitable handle brush, preferably using a brush made from natural coconut fiber. Allow the solution to soak for enough time and then rinse it with clean water and dry immediately to prevent mould.
In addition, a mixture of vinegar and water in a ratio of 1:3 can also be used to clean wood. Use this solution to soak the wooden surface, then use a soft cloth soaked in fresh tea or green tea to wipe it several times. This way, your wooden furniture will not only be clean but also significantly brighter.
Removing stains and cleaning wooden surfaces
When your wooden furniture is stained with tea, soft drinks, or oil stains, try a natural solution: mix a few drops of cooking oil with white beeswax and melt them together in a double boiler until the mixture is melted and well blended. Use this mixture to vigorously rub the dirty area, and the stains will be quickly removed.
Another equally effective method is to combine rice flour or wheat flour with cooking oil to create a sticky mixture, then apply it to the stain. Let this mixture soak for a while, then scrub it clean with water. Both methods help brighten the surface of wood without using strong chemicals.
Using tea water to restore the shine of wooden furniture
To clean and refresh your wooden furniture, prepare a strong tea infusion. Wait for the tea to cool down a bit, then soak a soft cloth in it. Use the soaked cloth to wipe the wooden surface back and forth about 2 to 3 times. Tea water not only helps clean the surface of wooden furniture but also restores its natural shine.
Removing the smell of fresh paint with fresh milk
