Q: How long can furniture sit in water before being ruined?

• <div><p>Wood furniture is usually vulnerable to water damage. However, larger furniture tends to have a high chance of being salvaged as long as it hasn&rsquo;t been standing in water for more than 24 hours. You can restore bedpoles, table and couch legs, and other wood parts that haven&rsquo;t been fully saturated. Meanwhile, smaller objects like decors or furniture with fabric wrapping may require full replacement.</p></div>

Q: How do you help someone declutter their home?

• <div><p>The best way to help a family member or friend declutter their home is to hire a professional organizer or cleaner to do it for them. However, you can also help them make a plan to tackle the clutter. Sit down with them and sort through the items, making piles of what to keep, toss, and donate. Focus on one area at a time to avoid overwhelming them. If they have trouble letting go of some items, ask them when they last used each item, what its purpose is, and whether it has sentimental value. The answers to these questions can help you advise them on handling clutter.</p></div>

Q: Why is my wood stain still rubbing off after drying?

• <div><p>If your wood stain is still rubbing off after the recommended drying time, it means the pigments didn&rsquo;t soak into the wood properly and remain on the surface. There are a few possible causes, including applying the stain in hot temperatures, applying too much stain, or failing to wipe off excess before it dries completely.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between resurfacing and refinishing?

• <div><p>The difference between resurfacing and refinishing is that refinishing only works on solid surfaces that are in good condition, whereas resurfacing will restore a cracked or worn surface to its original, blemish-free state. Refinishing will leave you with a smooth and glossy surface you can&rsquo;t get from resurfacing alone. If that&rsquo;s the look you&rsquo;re going for, contact a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/concrete-finishing/">local concrete finishing contractor</a> to achieve it.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint over already painted furniture?

• <div><p>Depending on the piece, there are times when you can paint over painted furniture. Start by applying a high-adhesion primer so that the new topcoat will stick. However, if the paint is peeling or chipping, it&rsquo;s best to sand it down, use a paint stripper, or try a deglosser to ensure your new paint will adhere.</p></div>
