4. Wood Furniture
Anyone who has left a water ring on their coffee table can tell you that water and wood furniture don’t mix! In addition to discoloration, water can cause wood to swell and even split.
Keep your wood furniture dust-free with a microfiber cloth, then use a furniture polish or conditioner to shine and protect the wood.
5. Brass & Silver
Water can remove tarnish from brass and silver in the short term, but it may lead to more tarnish in the future! To be safe, use a quality brass or silver polish to clean and protect your items.
6. Musical Instruments
Whether you have a wood instrument like a guitar or piano, or a metal instrument like a trumpet or saxophone, it likely wasn’t cheap! Proper cleaning and care is crucial to protect your financial investment and keep it sounding sweet.
Avoid water when cleaning your musical instrument; instead, use a cleanser specifically formulated for instruments. If you’re not sure what to use, check your instrument manufacturer’s website to find out what they recommend using.
