Regular Cleaning and Dusting

Unlike hardwood, veneers don't attract stains from everyday food items like coffee or tea, but it doesn't mean that it is stain-proof. If you live in metro cities with too high pollution, it would easily attract dust daily. If you notice such dust on your veneer slat panels, clean them with a clean duster instead of using abrasive cleaning scrubs.

Mild stain-removing polish is widely available in the market or at the store from where you have purchased them; clean them with a soft sponge, even if you notice a small dirt mark. Avail the weekly or monthly cleaning sessions.

For stubborn marks, use a rough cloth to clean the spot or the affected area, then wipe the overall surface with polish or cleanser to remove the stubborn mark with a clean cloth if you cannot afford to buy a cleanser, use detergent mixed with water that resists the veneers' polish and natural shine, increasing the durability of the veneers.  

An Immediate Repair of the Minor Scratches

Only hit the veneer slat panels with sharp objects intentionally or with knowledge. Thick veneer panels are durable and have the strength to tolerate any knicks or nicks. However, these veneers are typically very much sophisticated and delicate. So be cautious about such unruly hits because even a tiny scratch can damage the appearance of the veneers immediately, but denting such scratches by experienced professionals can also be done.

Only an experienced professional or mill worker can cover scratch marks over the wood veneer. Else, they would advise replacing them to restore their natural beauty and help prevent further damage. It is also recommended to buy some good quality veneer protective products and regularly apply them on the wood furniture on the veneers' surface. You can also hire some advanced protection agents that help protect wood veneers from termites. These protective cleansers have antibacterial and antiviral properties to extend the durability of your furniture.

Retain from Sunlight Exposure

Wood-veneered furniture gets wholly damaged if exposed to sunlight daily for prolonged hours. Being the most sensitive wood paneling material, it also has some drawbacks. Wood veneer becomes delicate when exposed to high heat and humid weather or beyond a specified threshold. In addition, excessive sunlight exposure changes the luster of the material, damaging the texture and color of the wooden surfaces.

For instance, if you use wood veneer panels on a dining table, use coasters under hot cups, plates, or glasses; this helps prevent water and heat damage. However, do not write directly over the veneer surface; it loses its appearance and luster and may leave a mark. Fortunately, today's veneer suppliers or manufacturers provide a finished material incorporated with UV inhibitors that ensures that fluorescent light would not harm their color and grain. Hence, wood-veneered furniture is placed in an area with as little sunlight exposure as possible to maintain its durability.
