As the rise of classical furniture craze, old furniture in the french market also rose with "baby" %. People are rushing to "tiao&rdquo" to these old furniture that are both practical and collectible. However, while collecting, you should also pay attention to the hygiene hazards in these old furniture.

Because most old furniture comes from the people, some even have been in a long time, various pollutions have been generated: biological pollution in the original use conditions, pollution of various parasites such as insect eggs and mites in the wood, chemical pollution of cleaning and renovation, etc.

For old furniture, you can clean it like this:

First, get the open space outdoors and use a high-power hair dryer to remove the floating dust and soil on the surface of old furniture. Do not wipe it with a wet cloth, otherwise it will cause damage to the furniture paint surface.

Secondly, apply disinfectant to kill the insect eggs in old furniture. First dilute a small amount of disinfectant with clean water, immerse a piece of cotton cloth in it, wring it completely and wipe it.

Finally, some old furniture will have cement slurry, paint and other adhesives. In this regard, try not to use chemical agents to remove them, but use physical means to remove them, such as fine knife scraping and polishing.

If you do not intend to retain the original paint surface, you can also rinse with water. In deeper areas such as 900 and tenon, you can rinse with alkaline water. In addition, the cleaned old furniture needs to dry in the shade for more than a week, otherwise the disassembled tenon will be difficult to restore after it expands when it encounters water.
