Caring for Your Barnwood Furniture

December 27, 2018

Barnwood furniture is exactly what it sounds like – furniture made out of old barnwood! The wood used in barns still has a life to it and a number of people prefer it for furniture due to its distinct coloring, interesting markings, nail holes and saw marks. Barnwood furniture has an aura of history and mystique attached to it. Furthermore, no two pieces are ever the same, making your furniture truly unique.

Although barnwood is strong and sturdy, your reclaimed wood furniture still requires care and proper maintenance. Let’s have a look at some easy ways to keep your barnwood furniture in its best shape and to ensure its longevity.

Proper Placement

Frequent change in temperature can cause severe damage to wood. However, you can avoid it by simply placing your furniture away from heating and cooling vents to make sure that the wood does not shrink, split or dry due to temperature changes.

Dealing with Moisture

Moisture can damage your barnwood furniture in many ways. Excessive moisture can make the wood swell. On the other hand, spills can leave marks of water damage. Therefore, it is advisable to keep a coaster under your cups to avoid the appearance of unappealing water rings.

Clean it Regularly

Cleaning plays an important role in keeping your barnwood furniture in the best shape. Make a habit of cleaning off anything that can set in or leave a mark on the wood. It will keep the signs of wear and tear from appearing on your furniture. Let’s have a look at how you can deal with two most common stains.

1.) Water Marks: An easy way to treat a watermark on barn wood is to rub a little non-gel toothpaste on the affected area. Let it sit for a few minutes before wiping it off.

2.) Grease: Sprinkle salt to the affected area at once! Let it soak up the grease before wiping it away with a damp cloth

When it comes to barnwood furniture, buy only from a trusted retailer like La Fuente Imports to get strong, sturdy pieces that hold up for a long time!
