Dining Room
Cleaning furniture
Wood Furniture: Wood furniture must be deep cleaned and conditioned twice a year to prevent drying. Using our 100% Cotton Baby Diaper Cloths pour on a bit of our Wood Care Wood Care cleans and conditions the wood with one application. Remove water marks and scratches from dining room tables and chairs by adding a bit of elbow grease. It takes a bit of rubbing but the marks will disappear.
To clean your wood furniture on a weekly basis, simply mix 1 part Wood Care to 5 parts water. It leaves your wood with a healthy sheen and will not damage finishes.
If your family uses your dining room table for homework assignments, craft projects or as a gathering place, keep it covered with either a protectant pad or a plastic table cloth. You can cover the plastic table cloth with one made with cloth for a more attractive setting. The plastic table cloth will protect the table from spills and accidents. Fingernail polish does not remove from wood tables.
Vases
Clean the inside of a vase by filling it about two-thirds full with a 50/50 solution of hydrogen peroxide to water. Then add one teaspoon full of baking soda. Yes do this in the sink in case it bubbles over. Let that set overnight and your vase will be fresh and clean the next morning.
Spills with small kids
With small children in the home where spills often happen, you might want to invest in a couple of plastic table cloths. Cut one about twice as large as the seat of their chair. Turn the tablecloth fuzzy side up. When a spill happens the fuzzy part catches the spill and the plastic protects the seat. Keep a second plastic cloth to place on the floor of any room so they can play games without the worry of staining the carpet. It also comes in handy for those youngsters who are potty training to place under them when they fall asleep on the couch or floor.
