Why is my wood furniture sticky?

• <div><p>Wood furniture gets sticky when dirt and grime accumulate on the surface. Sometimes, wax coatings and oils are the culprit, but other times, it’s a sign that the finish is failing, and no amount of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-wood-furniture.htm">cleaning your wood furniture</a> will help. Varnish and lacquer can both get sticky as they age, and in this case, you’ll need to refinish the wood to stop the issue.</p></div>

Q: Do services include refinishing or upholstery?

• <div><p>Yes, many custom builders offer finishing and upholstery options tailored to your style.</p></div>

Q: What types of furniture repairs do professionals handle?

• <div><p>Pros cover many fixes, from upholstery renewals to joint reinforcement.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a desk after assembly?

• <div><p>Regularly check and tighten screws, avoid excessive weight, and clean surfaces with appropriate materials to prevent damage.</p></div>

Q: Can I refinish over top of refinishing oil?

• <div><p>No. Once you apply refinishing oil, it will continue to seep into the wood, making it difficult or impossible to refinish over top of it. Since the product contains an oil that&rsquo;s meant to penetrate existing finishes, almost anything you put on top of it will bring the previous layer of stain with it. If you plan to refinish your cabinets more than once, it&rsquo;s a good idea to go with the traditional method of sanding before applying a new finish to the surface.</p></div>

He has kitchen appliances, but I don't think he has furniture. It cost a lot, but the price was what I had expected, and it seemed normal to me. It's his standard fee. I don't know of anyone who will come out to my house and take a look at something for free. I don't think he charged me anything...
