Q: Can I use expanding foam to fill rotten wood?

• <div><p>Yes, you can fill rotten wood with expanding foam. You may prefer using an expanding foam treatment instead of wood filler since the latter can take a long time to dry. It may also provide an easier solution when you&rsquo;re dealing with smaller gaps. If you use expanding foam, allow it to cure for about 24 hours before you sand and prime it.</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: What should you not use to clean antique wood?

• <div><p>Stay away from using window cleaners and other harsh cleaning solutions on antique wood&mdash;or any wood in your home for that matter. The pH of the cleaners can break down the finish and permanently damage and stain the wood below. Even when it comes to more durable areas, such as when <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-your-baseboards.htm">cleaning your baseboards</a>, only use cleaning solutions that are safe for porous materials. </p></div>

Q: Do you need to remove the stain before refinishing?

• <div><p>Removing the original paint or stain before refinishing is a good idea, as it ensures the new finish bonds strongly to the wood. If you skip the stripping or sanding step, the new finish may peel or flake away from the railing easily. Using a wood stripper will completely remove the old stain or paint while sanding will help to prime the surface.</p></div>
