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>

Does antique furniture lose its value if you refinish it?

• <div><p>Yes, refinishing can decrease or even diminish the value of antique furniture, as most collectors look for original finishes to maintain the piece’s historical integrity. Learning <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-antique-wood.htm">how to clean antique wood</a> and carefully restore the finish without stripping it is the best way to maintain the piece’s original value. Either way, it’s best to take it to a professional furniture refinishing and restoration expert rather than attempting a DIY restoration.</p></div>

Our salesperson, Jessica, was very good to help us choose the very best color to match the bathroom tile and our paint. Jr. and Rickey were so careful with our furniture, and did a wonderful job of installing the carpet. It looks great!

Representative arrived in timely fashion. Pretreated chemical applied to heavily soiled areas and then carpets were cleaned with steam cleaning process. Representative was careful not to hit or damage walls and furniture. Overall a very satisfactory job. I will use them again.
