How To Refresh Old Wood Furniture
Gather the Supplies
Before you get started, you need to make sure you have all the supplies you need. You will need a soft cloth, a medium-grit sandpaper, a fine-grit sandpaper, a furniture wax, a vacuum, and a paintbrush. Make sure you have enough supplies to finish the job.
Clean the Furniture
The first step is to make sure your furniture is clean. Start by wiping down the wood with the soft cloth. Be sure to remove any dust or dirt that may have accumulated. You can also use a vacuum to remove any dirt or dust that may be hard to reach. Once you have cleaned the furniture, you are ready to move on to the next step.
Sand the Furniture
Once you have cleaned the furniture, you are ready to sand it. Start with the medium-grit sandpaper and sand the entire surface of the furniture. Be sure to make sure you are sanding the entire surface. Once you have finished sanding the entire surface, you can move on to the finer-grit sandpaper. This will help to smooth out any rough patches left behind by the medium-grit sandpaper.
Apply the Furniture Wax
Once you have finished sanding the furniture, you are ready to apply the furniture wax. This will help to protect the wood and give it a beautiful shine. Start by applying the wax to the furniture with a paintbrush. Be sure to cover the entire surface. Once you have finished applying the wax, you can move on to the next step.
Polish the Furniture
Once you have applied the wax, you are ready to polish the furniture. Start by using the soft cloth to buff the wax into the wood. Make sure you are buffing the wax in a circular motion. This will help to bring out the shine and give the wood a beautiful finish. Once you have finished polishing the furniture, you can move on to the next step.
Finishing Touches
The last step in refreshing your old wood furniture is to make sure it looks its best. You can do this by adding a few finishing touches. For instance, you can add a few decorations or a coat of paint. This will help to give your furniture a new and refreshed look. Once you have added the finishing touches, you can enjoy your refreshed wood furniture.
