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>

Can I refinish my own furniture?

• <div><p>It is possible to refinish your own furniture, but it’s usually a good idea to leave the work to the professionals. Furniture refinishing often requires the use of paint stripper or solvents to remove existing finish, which can be dangerous to inhale. Additionally, it’s easy to make mistakes during the process that could permanently damage your piece, limiting its lifespan instead of extending it. Hiring a furniture refinishing professional is especially worthwhile for antique furniture, which often requires more delicate refinishing work.</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>

Josh & Kenny were awesome. They showed up ready to go, even though it was a long hot day. They worked quickly but took time to be careful with my custom cherry furniture. It was easy to trust them.
