How to clean wooden furniture: dirt and stains will disappear before your eyes thanks to a simple method

Wooden furniture tends to accumulate a considerable amount of dust, and life hacks utilizing natural ingredients can effectively clean even the most stubborn dirt on tables or cabinets.

Instead of resorting to chemicals that may harm the furniture, a simple addition of soap can provide solutions. Sante Plus has shared valuable details.

Life hack with soap

It's essential to note that different types of wood have distinct characteristics, requiring tailored cleaning approaches. A bar of soap can be a surprisingly effective solution for cleaning wood surfaces and removing stubborn stains, especially for untreated wood furniture.

For instance, black soap proves to be ideal for untreated wood furniture.

Experts recommend diluting a tablespoon of liquid black soap in 1 liter of hot water. Using a soft-bristled brush or microfiber cloth, carefully wipe the furniture and rinse it with a damp cloth.

Another straightforward recipe enables instant and chemical-free cleaning of your furniture. Rubbing soap onto your furniture or wooden doors can do wonders. Additionally, this practice helps protect surfaces from pets. Cats or dogs are less likely to scratch or chew on treated wooden surfaces.

Life hack with baking soda

You can apply baking soda to varnished surfaces. Start by pouring warm water into a container and adding 1 cup of baking soda. Mix the solution thoroughly. Dip a sponge into the mixture and use it to wipe the wooden furniture. Finally, wipe the surface with a microfiber cloth.

Life hack with lemon

For heavily soiled furniture, experts recommend a life hack combining baking soda and lemon. Begin by cutting a lemon in half and rubbing it on the wood. While the acid takes effect, prepare a special paste by mixing 2 tablespoons of baking soda with warm water until a 'gruel' forms. Apply this mixture to the dirtiest areas on top of the citric acid and wipe it off with a sponge. Follow this by rinsing with clean water and allowing the furniture to air dry.
