    How to Clean Untreated Wooden Doors - OldEnglsihDoors

    Unprocessed or unsealed wooden furniture serves as a raw, unused, brittle, and absorbent surface. There is no question of harsh chemical cleaners because when the solvent absorbs, they can harm or discolor the timbre. A safe, furnishing, and human-friendly alternative are offered by natural cleaning methods.

    Bust the Dust

    Regularly dusting furniture helps it look best without scratching the wood. Over time, waste can be caked without dusting and removed more difficultly. To periodically remove dirt, use a feather duster or soft fabric. A vacuum cleaner may also be used with a padding brush fit. To clear trapped dirt and service, flake a soft-brained brush, such as a toothbrush, brush, or brush.

    Soapy Solution

    Goop occurs occasionally, such as when a bit of ice cream sundae drips onto a wood chair's arm, hardening in place. For untreated, unfinished wood, a squirt or two of natural dish soap blended into a bucket of lukewarm water acts as a gentle cleaner. Dip the solution with a soft cloth or sponge and wring enough of the liquid out so that the cloth is still moist. Use the damp cloth or rag to wash the infected areas, wipe it again with a damp cloth dipped in clean water and wrung out, then dry with a smooth, dry cloth. To prevent damage, keep the wood as dry as possible during this process.

    Homemade Helper

    Sticky Situations

    Chewing gum or pine tree sap produces a sticky mess that can be hard to remove from wood without causing any furniture harm. Put a few ice cubes in a zippered sandwich bag, then place the bag over the problem area until the gum or sap hardens. Gently chip the hardened mass away with a plastic knife or spatula.
