Lacquered furniture achieves a dense and glossy surface through the application of multiple layers of lacquer. The lacquer can be transparent or colored, depending on the desired aesthetic. Lacquered surfaces protect the furniture from water, stains, heat, and some mechanical wear. This allows the furniture to last longer and maintain its appearance over time.

Lacquered furniture typically requires minimal maintenance, but they are not entirely maintenance-free. Just like with other types of furniture, lacquered furniture demands some care and maintenance to keep them in good condition.

For cleaning lacquered furniture, you can use a soft, damp cloth or a dusting cloth to remove dust and dirt. If the furniture is particularly dirty or stained, you can use a mild soapy solution or a specialized cleaning product designed for use on lacquered surfaces. Avoid using cleaners that contain ammonia, alcohol, or other solvents, as these can damage the lacquer. It's important to thoroughly wipe the furniture after cleaning to prevent moisture from penetrating the surface and harming the lacquer.

If the lacquer on your furniture has been damaged or scratched, you can use a wood filler pen or a lacquer pen to conceal the imperfections. You might also consider bringing the furniture to a professional furniture restorer to repair the damages and restore the lacquer to its original condition.
