Wooden furniture can be damaged by insects like

Termites, which eat the wood from the inside out, leaving it hollow;

wood borers (powderpost beetles), which create small holes and fine wood dust;

carpenter ants, which tunnel through moist or decaying wood;

carpenter bees, which drill round holes to nest.

To prevent such infestations, it’s important to keep furniture dry, apply wood polish or sealant, use natural repellents like neem oil, clean regularly, and avoid placing wooden pieces directly against damp walls or soil.

If the furniture is already infested, isolate the affected item to prevent spreading, treat it with insecticides or wood treatment oils like boric acid, expose it to sunlight or heat to kill pests, and repair the damage using wood filler followed by sanding and polishing.

To clean wooden furniture at home, follow these simple steps:

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth or microfiber duster.

Wipe with mild soapy water – mix a few drops of dish soap in water, dampen a cloth (not soak), and gently clean the surface.

Dry immediately using a clean, dry cloth to prevent moisture damage.

Polish occasionally with furniture polish or natural oils like lemon or olive oil for shine and protection.

Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the wood finish.

Use coasters and mats to protect from stains and water rings.

Clean spills right away to prevent stains or swelling.

Regular care keeps wood looking rich, smooth, and long-lasting.

To protect wooden garden furniture, follow these tips:

Use outdoor wood sealant or varnish – it shields against rain, sun, and humidity.

Cover the furniture when not in use – use waterproof covers to protect from weather reduce sun exposure.

Reapply polish or protective oil (like teak oil) every few months.

Keep it dry – wipe off rainwater and don’t let it sit on wet ground.

Clean regularly to prevent mold, mildew, or dirt buildup.

Use insect-repellent treatments to avoid termite or borer damage.

With proper care, your wooden garden furniture can last beautifully for years.
