Furniture Medic Albuquerque Helps Fix Your Loose Furniture Joints

Do you feel a little nervous sitting in your favorite chair? Is your chair making some geriatric noises?

Maybe it’s time for a little glue. Taking the time to remove the old glue and add some new will bring your treasured pieces back to life.

Follow these steps to restore your chair’s creaking joints:

• Take the chair apart and have the old glue removed from the joints.

• Mark the joints in some way so the chair can be properly reassembled. Try color-coding the joints with markers.

• After the joints have been cleaned, reassemble the chair without glue to ensure a good fit.

• If everything fits, apply wood glue (e.g., yellow glue) to each joint and assemble the chair.

• Set the chair on a flat surface and adjust the legs so the chair will not rock.

• Keeping the chair level, use clamps to hold the joints together and let the chair sit for three hours.

• Put pads – pieces of carpet work nicely – on the jaws of the clamps to avoid damaging the finish. By following these handy steps, you can bring your chair back to full health.

Pets: Man’s Best Friend, Furniture’s Worst Enemy!

Furniture Medic by Bespoke Restoration shares ways to restore furniture damaged by pets!

Pets are part of the family in many homes, but they are often the unruly members of the family. For them, furniture is a big toy, and the words “expensive” or “antique” are not relevant. If you have furniture that has fallen victim to Fido, there are ways to attack the damage.

The experts at Furniture Medic have a few suggestions for bringing pet-damaged pieces back to life:

  • Pet stains can often be moved with upholstery cleaner.
  • Do a test for colorfastness in a hidden area before treating the stain.
  • Minor scratches without color loss can usually be repaired without refinishing.
  • When dealing with major pet damage like chewed corners, there are four steps to follow:

1. Fill the damaged area

2. Apply color

3. Replace graining

4. Replace the finish

  • The original wood in the damaged area cannot be replaced, but using the above tips can make a piece functional again and esthetically pleasing. If your furniture needs more extensive care, call Furniture Medic.

Furniture Medic has the experience and equipment to handle all types of furniture needs, including restoration of damaged pieces.

Furniture Care Tips- Stop Furniture Damage Before it starts!

Stop Furniture Damage Before it starts!

 Furniture is an investment that lasts for generations. Keep yours in beautiful condition by protecting it from common household catastrophes. Here are some helpful hints to help you keep your furniture looking its best.

• Avoid all cleaners containing ammonia. It can damage your wood furniture.  

• Frequently dust with a soft, dry, clean cloth.  

• Make sure your furniture polish does not contain a high amount of alcohol as it can damage wood finishes.

• Use coasters with felt or cork bottoms to reduce water rings.  

• Protect furniture from hot serving dishes with a table cloth, oven mitt or hot plate.  

Be careful when cleaning, never allow moisture to be trapped between glass and a wood surface. Make sure surfaces are completely dry before the glass is replaced.  

• Position furniture away from direct sunlight. Sunlight dries out wood surfaces.

• If you have pets that enjoy getting on wood chairs and table tops, protect those surfaces with a table cloth, chair cover or protective pad. This is the best way to prevent damage from pet nails from scratching the surface of those pieces.
