Did you know that Potpourri Kills?
We all love the look and smell of fresh potpourri but most varieties will eat the finish off of your furniture even if it's still in a plastic bag. Be sure to display your potpourri in a ceramic or glass bowl so your piece of furniture will always be protected.
Did you know that stripping furniture does not necessarily remove the color?It may not be possible to lighten the piece to the desired color if it is stained dark. As a general rule, you can always go darker, but you can't always lighten it later. Just to be safe, before staining a light wood, make sure that you are comfortable with it being dark forever. If your furniture has been stained with an aniline dye, you can use some Stain-away to bleach it out. If you want to be around for that next furniture project make sure you bleach it outdoors while using a respirator.
Did you know that Plactizier Migration will ruin your furniture?
Do not keep your plastic or vinyl tablecloths or placemats in contact with your wood finish for any extended period of time. Wood finishes need to breath. If items cover the piece of furniture for an extended amount of time the Plasticizer will eventually leach out and permanently soften the finish.
