Remove Stains on Wooden Surfaces

If you notice that your wooden furniture have stains that have refused to go away, make a solution of ¾ cup of vinegar and a ¼ cup of canola oil. You should mix the solution well and then proceed to apply it on the stained surfaces with a microfiber or cotton cloth. You will notice that the stains will start fading away and your furniture will regain their luster.

Buying New Furniture

At times, you might find that your furniture is outdated and the wear and tear signs on it cannot be concealed further. In such a case you will need to overhaul your furniture and go for a design that is more trendy and attractive in order to give your house a well-deserved sparkle and fresh look.

Some companies, like West Coast Living Thomasville, know that you should do some window shopping online and in stores physically in order to get the best deals as well. This will guarantee you of getting the best quality furniture and at the most competitive prices.

Using Wallpaper

You might find that your furniture or décor has been damaged beyond the traditional; repair from either deep stains or scratches. Wallpaper will offer a magical solution to your situation. You can use it to cover these surfaces to give them a fresh chic look. You should cut the wallpaper into sizes that cover the affected surfaces perfectly. You should proceed to apply glue on them and cover the surfaces gently but firmly. A ruler will help you push away any air bubbles that could be trapped beneath the wallpaper.

Polishing and Bleaching

Wooden furniture is susceptible to losing its shine after a number of years due to sun damage and normal everyday use. You can give it a non-toxic and cheap polish to restore it to its glory days.

You only need a microfiber cloth and olive oil to make it shine again. If your outside plastic furniture has been discolored due to the damage caused by the sun, you should bleach it to restore its look. You will need to scrub the plastic piece using warm water and a ¼ cup of bleach.

WD40 can be used to restore your leather couch back to its best if it has collected a lot of stains over the years. You will only need to spray it with the WD40 and wipe it off with a dry cloth after a few minutes to remove any grime and stains from it.
