Here are some care steps you can do to keep your custom wood panels looking refreshed for years.
Custom wood paneling can be a wonderful addition to any home. However, that stylish flair can become dull quickly if you don’t properly preserve it. Regular maintenance is necessary to keep custom wood panels looking their best. Whether your wood panels are modern or vintage, maintaining them in excellent condition enhances the aesthetic of your home or commercial space and prolongs the life of your investment. Here are some care steps you can do to keep your custom wood paneling looking refreshed for years.
Light Washing
This process requires a pair of 1-gallon buckets with two cellulose sponges. Mix two teaspoons of mild dishwashing detergent systematically into a gallon bucket with warm water. Then work from the bottom up, in small sections, and immediately dry. Please avoid allowing the solution to settle on the wood panels for an extended period, as it can cause the wood to become thick and develop a white finish.
Dust & Vacuum Regularly
Dirt, dust, and other debris will accumulate in the corners of genuine wood panels if you allow it. While dusting will effectively eliminate surface dirt, regular vacuuming is necessary to remove stubborn dirt. Additionally, use the soft brush attachment on the end of your vacuum to work in an orderly manner across the wall. Don’t forget to work at the top and work your way down slowly. Although you only need to vacuum bi-monthly, weekly dustings are essential.
Polish with a Lemon Oil Finish
Apply lemon oil or any other polish or oil you prefer to keep your custom wood panels looking clean and polished for years to come. Apply the item with a clean cloth, moving toward the grain, after washing and dusting to maintain its brand-new appearance.
Final Thoughts
Besides its charm, minimal maintenance is one of the main attractions of wood paneling. The only maintenance required is dusting from ceiling to floor using a vacuum cleaner or a soft cloth brush. Additionally, the finish on the paneling products creates a protective layer on the wood. Consequently, this prevents light moisture from coming into contact with it. Therefore, when you clean your paneling, you are actually polishing the finish.
