The answer to protecting your furniture is by sealing the furniture. So, how can you do this? First, make sure you have a clean furniture surface to work with. If there’s any dust or dirt, gently remove them with the help of a cloth. After this, we should create a smooth surface, and to do this, sanding is necessary. Using fine grit paper, sand the surface of the furniture you want to sea. The next step is quite crucial. You must select the appropriate sealant. There are many sealants available, and selecting the one that is specifically produced for the type of wood furniture is important. After selecting your sealant, get a brush and apply the sealant to the surface of the furniture according to the method that is written on the guidelines of the sealant. Of course, the best way to ensure that your furniture will be safe is through applying multiple layers of sealant.
Even though you might try to prevent this from happening, it’s only natural if your wooden furniture still gets damaged. There are still a few things you can do after the damage. Start with drying the exteriors of the furniture completely. After it dries, sand the furniture. Later, you can apply a marine-based polyurethane. If there are mold spots that form after some time, you can use certain DIY methods to prevent the growth and remove it.
