Q: How long can furniture sit in water before being ruined?

• <div><p>Wood furniture is usually vulnerable to water damage. However, larger furniture tends to have a high chance of being salvaged as long as it hasn&rsquo;t been standing in water for more than 24 hours. You can restore bedpoles, table and couch legs, and other wood parts that haven&rsquo;t been fully saturated. Meanwhile, smaller objects like decors or furniture with fabric wrapping may require full replacement.</p></div>

Q: Is there a wood filler that looks like wood?

• <div><p>Yes, there are several wood filler products on the market that look like wood. Your best bet is to take a cabinet door to your local hardware store to match the appropriate wood filler to your door. Some brands make filler that is masked to look like wood and can also be sanded, cut, stained, and painted. </p></div>

Q: How long does wood stain last?

• <div><p>Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it&rsquo;s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.</p></div>

Q: How do you remove cloudy film from a wood table?

• <div><p>A cloudy film on top of a wooden surface usually means either the incorrect cleaner was used or there is polish buildup. You&rsquo;ll need to start over again and remove the surface cleaner with a damp rag and some water and dish soap. Be careful not to leave the wood surface wet as this could cause water damage. </p></div>

Q: What if the dirt doesn’t come off the furniture with the vinegar, water, and dish soap mixture?

• <div><p>Sometimes you will need a stronger cleaning solution to thoroughly clean furniture before painting. It&rsquo;s best to start with a mild solution to avoid damaging the surface, especially if it is an antique piece. If you need to use a stronger mixture, try a commercial cleaner or mineral spirits. Before applying any solution, do a test patch on an inconspicuous area so you don&rsquo;t risk damaging the finish.</p></div>

We’ve had bad experiences with movers before, but this company’s moving team was a breath of fresh air. They were punctual, friendly, and handled our belongings with great care. Even our bulky and heavy furniture was moved without a scratch!

I recently used Hilldrup for an in-state move and I really regret it. The movers arrived late, stood around for a bit, and were both on the phone texting throughout the morning. They packed my furniture in FILTHY blankets that looked like they had been left outside. There are a lot of moving...
