How do I know if my wood furniture is worth refinishing?

• <div><p>Telling the difference between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-wood-furniture.htm">high-quality wood furniture</a> and lower-quality pieces is challenging, but there are a few sign that indicate whether your furniture is worth repairing:</p><ul><li><p>Push your fingernail into an inconspicuous section of the wood. If it doesn’t leave a dent, it’s likely hardwood and is well worth a repair.</p></li><li><p>Unzip the bottom of couches to look for the structural components. If they’re made of wood rather than particle board, it’s likely worth refinishing.</p></li><li><p>Ask a local furniture repair technician. A reputable professional will let you know if you’re better off replacing rather than refinishing your specific item.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Can I DIY?

• <div><p>Yes, you can tackle small rooms yourself if you're handy and have a flat, clean subfloor to work with. But seams must be sealed properly, or the barrier will fail. Any gaps will let moisture sneak through and defeat the purpose of installing this more expensive type of carpet padding. For larger rooms or areas, professional installation is usually worth the extra cost.</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: Is it okay for patio furniture to get wet?

• <div><p>This depends on the furniture. It&rsquo;s certainly fine for wood, metal, or composite materials to get wet. The same cannot be said for affiliated cushions and coverings. Many of these adjacent items claim to be water-resistant, but poorly-made accessories take longer to dry, leaving plenty of time for mold to grow. Keep an eye on how your furniture stands up to rain before going in with a pressure washer. </p></div>

Q: Do repairs include sealing and refinishing?

• <div><p>Yes, most professional repairs include resealing to prevent future damage and wear.</p></div>
