Bar Room Furniture – 3 ways to keep them looking as good as new [Part II]
2nd way to make your bar room furniture last and last and last
The name of the game here is maintenance , maintenance , maintenance. Regular maintenance will help forestall potential problems in the furniture. Simple things like tightening the screws once every month or so will help to reduce wear and tear …as well as potential lawsuits. For the plastics commonly found in the funky chairs at bars, all that needs to be done is give it a regular wipe-over everyday with a soft wet cloth moisentened with a little washing detergent to get all those grim and oil out. Avoid using abrasive sponges or clothes as scratches will be deposited onto the surface of the plastic. Over the years, inevitably there will be scratches on the surface. What you can do is every year or so, give it a good sand down with fine grit sandpaper, wipe off all the dust with a slightly wet clean cloth, then reapply another coating of fine lacquer. Finish by buffing.
What about wood you might ask, after all, it is the more difficult thing to maintain. If you operate a wine bar, you’ll use wood . Wine bar furniture will normally be made of expensive wood in which case you will probably want to make it last as long as possible. Wood is particularly sensitive to moisture, which can result in warping and rapid deterioration. Alcohol is particularly damaging because it can dissolve the surface coating. At the end of the day, just give the wooden wine bar furnitures 1 rub down to wipe it all dry and your done. It’ll last you much longer.
