Furniture care: dents and scratches

・Soak a small piece of cotton cloth or tissue in water and place it on top of the dent.

Once it dries, add some water and let it sit for a few hours, and it will recover considerably.

It is better to perform oil maintenance after that.

​

Note: This method does not work with colored furniture or

Please do not do this on furniture with rough wooden surfaces.

 Stains may appear after water oozes out.

​

If the dent doesn't heal with just water after leaving it for a day, try ironing it for 1, 2, 3 seconds and see what happens.

​

Note: If you use an iron too much, the surface may become uneven and the color may fade, so please consider using it only on areas with severe dents. Steam×
