Monsoon is the season to curl up in your bed for the extra 15 minutes or just cozy up on your sofa with a steaming cup of hot chocolate. It is the season to spend in the kitchen, cooking up warm meals for the ones you love. While the weather is perfect to stay dry in the comfort of your home, is your furniture really safe from something from the ever-dreaded monsoon?
Keep your furniture rain-free with these easy yet effective tips.
No Moisture, No Cry:
Instead of using a damp cloth to clean your wooden furniture, use a dry one to avoid dust accumulation. Dust absorbs moisture and that may result in softening the wood.
Keep it Smooth:
Ever wondered if your door expanded during monsoons? That’s just moisture absorption. You can prevent this from happening by oiling or waxing your furniture.

The Window Pain:
Make sure your wooden furniture is kept away from the window. Your painted wooden furniture is at the risk of losing its rich color by fading due to the moisture.

De-humidify your Room:
We all know what humidity does to us. It is equally damaging for your wooden furniture. Use a dehumidifier to get rid of the moisture in the room and say goodbye to moulds on wood.

Keep it DRY with DIY:
Use camphor or naphthalene balls as moisture absorbers. The added bonus is that they’ll keep termites off your precious wooden furniture. You can try neem leaves and cloves too.
This monsoon, give your wooden furniture the love and care it deserves. Keep your furniture as young as the day you bought it.
