Fortunately, waxing your furniture can extend its life and make it look even better! Adding a coat of wax to your wooden furniture will give it extra protection against the elements and enhance the natural colour of the wood. So, no matter the age of your wood, you can keep it looking its best for longer with a coat of wax. And, even better, you don\u2019t need any D.I.Y expertise!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">So, here\u2019s our guide on how to wax furniture to keep it looking its absolute best all year round.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Why Should You Wax Wooden Furniture?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Waxing furniture has been practised for centuries and is used to strengthen the wood, protect it against stains, and prevent dust and dirt build-up. Plus, waxed wood is usually water-resistant to some degree. Wax also enhances the visual appeal of your furniture, highlighting the natural features of the wood while giving it a silky feel and a soft sheen. Fortunately, the wax will not change the colour of the wood. Finally, wax can be applied to bare wood or used on top of other finishes, such as lacquer or varnish, for an extra layer of protection<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"#_edn1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">[i]<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Although waxing wooden furniture isn\u2019t essential, many would recommend doing so to increase the longevity of your furniture and protect it against any eventuality. For example, if your furniture is waxed, it will be easier to maintain and repair, as you will only have to re-wax the affected area. This ensures your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gardenbenches.com\/bench-type\/wooden-adirondack-garden-chairs\">Adirondack garden chairs<\/a> are ready all year round for that burst of sun.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Can You Use Wax On Outdoor Furniture?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Waxing outdoor wooden furniture is perfectly fine \u2013 in fact, it\u2019s very effective in protecting your outdoor pieces from all weathers. In addition, waxing outdoor furniture will make the wood more durable and look more appealing. However, it\u2019s most effective when applied to bare wood instead of spreading it on top of other finishes or paint. This way, the wax can penetrate the wood properly and give it the best protection<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"#_edn2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">[ii]<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How To Wax Furniture<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Knowing how to wax furniture can save you a lot of money and aggravation in the long run. Even if you\u2019re the proud owner of a\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gardenbenches.com\/wooden-benches\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">hardwearing wooden bench<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, waxing your garden furniture will give it an extra layer of protection and guarantee longevity no matter how often it gets used. And, luckily, it\u2019s an easy process! With time, patience, determination and just a few pieces of equipment, you can extend the life of your wooden furniture for something to show off about at all your summer gatherings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You Will Need:<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A clean cloth<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A mild solvent, such as white spirit<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A sheet of 120 grit sandpaper<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Your choice of wax<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A paintbrush (for liquid wax)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A clean, lint-free cloth (for paste wax)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A buffing cloth<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How To Apply Wood Wax<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Applying wood wax is a relatively simple job but should be done in a warm, well-ventilated area for best results. However, you may wish to test a small part of the wood before waxing the whole piece. This way, you can see if the wax will dramatically change the colour of your wood or have any adverse effects. To do so, apply a little wax to an indistinguishable part of the furniture after cleaning and sanding. Once it has set, you can check if it provides your desired finish before coating the rest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Here\u2019s how to apply furniture wax for the best results:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">First, use your clean cloth and mild solvent to clean down the wood. Make sure you scrub away any old wax, oil, or grease, so the wood is clean, smooth, and easier to work with.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Next, use sandpaper to sand down the wood. You don\u2019t want to sand it down too much \u2013 just enough to slightly roughen the surface and give something for the wax to stick to.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you are applying liquid wax \u2013\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Stir the liquid wax to even it out, then use your paintbrush to brush on the first coat. Try to apply the wax in long strokes, painting in the direction of the wood grain.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you are applying paste wax\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u2013 Use a clean, lint-free cloth to apply the paste wax in a circular motion, maintaining an even pressure throughout the treatment. Focus on one small area at a time, ensuring that you&#8217;ve evenly coated that section before moving on to the next one.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Now, leave the wax to dry. The drying time will depend on the wax you have used and the conditions of the area you have left the piece to dry in. However, it usually takes anywhere from a few minutes to 30. To test if the wax has finished drying, touch it gently in an inconspicuous area. If it is still sticky, the wax is not dry yet.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Once the wax has dried, use another clean cloth to wipe off any excess wax. Then, use a buffing cloth to buff the wax. Rub the furniture in circular motions to make the fresh wax coat shine. Once the wood is as glossy as you\u2019d like, you\u2019re all done! However, make sure you wait 30 minutes after buffing before using or putting anything on the furniture.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Unfortunately, one layer of wax may not be enough to give your outdoor furniture the strongest protection. You may want to add 2 or perhaps even 3 layers of wax \u2013 check the wax tub to see how many coats it will need. However many layers you add, you should wait at least 4 hours between additional coatings and ensure that each fresh layer of wax is buffed well between applications.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Reapplying Wood Wax<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Outdoor furniture deals with different exterior factors than indoor furniture, such as heat warping, rain, and moisture. Because of this, you will need to reapply the wood wax more often to outdoor furniture. This will guarantee that your outdoor pieces will receive complete protection and last longer. Although the frequency of wax reapplications depends on the furniture use, many pieces benefit from a reapplication every 6 months to a year<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"#_edn3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">[iii]<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. Usually, you can do this before putting your furniture away at the end of the summer and when you bring it back out around springtime.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How To Maintain Waxed Furniture<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Fortunately, once your furniture is waxed, there isn\u2019t much more required to maintain it. As long as you regularly reapply the wax, your furniture should remain fresh, shiny, and dust-free. However, a periodic clean will help keep your furniture in tip-top condition. Plus, should any dust gather or mould grow, you\u2019ll need to get rid of it as soon as possible. Here are a few things you\u2019ll need to know to help you maintain your waxed wooden furniture.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How To Clean Wooden Furniture<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When you\u2019re regularly using your waxed wooden garden furniture through summer, giving it a clean every week or two will keep it looking its best. Although there are plenty of commercial products on the market to clean wooden furniture, it\u2019s easy to do yourself!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">So mix a bit of mild detergent with warm water, and take a sponge or soft cloth. Working in small areas, scrub off any dirt, marks or stains until your furniture is sparkling clean. If you come across any tough spots, use a stiff brush and scrub with the natural wood grain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Find out more about\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/strong><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gardenbenches.com\/blog\/how-to-clean-wooden-garden-furniture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">cleaning wooden garden furniture<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/a><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How To Clean Mould Off Wooden Furniture<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Unfortunately, outdoor furniture is exposed to moisture that can penetrate the wood. Although wax helps prevent this, some stubborn moulds may still manage to push through. To clean off any mould patches, simply apply a small amount of undiluted distilled vinegar with a sponge. For more stubborn stains, mix a solution of ammonia, bicarbonate of soda and vinegar and dab on gently with a sponge. It\u2019s a good idea to apply an extra coating of wax over the affected area once the spot is completely dry.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How To Store Wooden Furniture<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Whether your wooden garden furniture is waxed or not, it\u2019s always best to store it away when winter is coming. This way, you won\u2019t be exposing your favourite pieces to the elements and leaving them open to potential damage. Store your wooden garden furniture in a waterproof shed or outhouse if possible. If this isn\u2019t an option, invest in a good-quality waterproof cover to shelter your furniture. Then, elevate the legs of your furniture from the ground for complete protection all winter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Waxing Wooden Furniture<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Knowing how to wax furniture is invaluable expertise since this easy trick can protect wood stored both outside and in.
