Ifenisha yokhuni, ngenxa yokuthungwa kwayo kwemvelo kanye nezindawo ezivumelana nemvelo, isetshenziswa kabanzi ezindlini, emahhovisi, nasezintweni zezandla. Kodwa-ke, izici eziyingqayizivele zokhuni zidinga amasu okunakekelwa okuqondile ngesikhathi sokusetshenziswa kwansuku zonke ukuze kwandiswe isikhathi sokuphila nokugcina ubuhle bawo. Lesi sihloko sizodingida izindlela zokuhlanza, ukunakekelwa, kanye nokusetshenziswa kwefenisha yokhuni.
Okokuqala, ukuhlanza kuyisisekelo sokunakekelwa kwefenisha yokhuni. Ngesikhathi sokusetshenziswa kwansuku zonke, gwema ukusula ngokuqondile ngendwangu emanzi, ikakhulukazi okhunini olungangenwa amanzi. Kunconywa ukuthi usule ngobumnene ubuso ngendwangu ethambile emanzi kancane bese uyomisa ngokushesha ngendwangu eyomile ukuvimbela umswakama ukuthi ungangeni okhunini futhi ubangele ukuvuvukala noma ukuguqulwa. Ukuze uthole amabala anenkani, sebenzisa isihlanzi sefenisha yokhuni esizinikele futhi ugweme ukusebenzisa imikhiqizo yokuhlanza equkethe utshwala noma ama-asidi aqinile noma izisekelo ukuze ugweme ukulimaza isiphetho noma isakhiwo sokhuni.
Okwesibili, umswakama we-ambient uthinta kakhulu ifenisha yokhuni. Izinkuni zine-hygroscopic futhi zijwayele ukuqhekeka ezindaweni ezomile, kuyilapho zingabumba noma zivuvuke ezindaweni ezinomswakama. Ngakho-ke, kunconywa ukuthi kugcinwe ifenisha yokhuni endaweni enezinga lokushisa elizinzile kanye nomswakama, usebenzisa i-humidifier noma i-dehumidifier ukulungisa umswakama womoya njengoba kudingeka. Ngesikhathi sokushisa kwasebusika, umoya wasendlini wome kakhulu. Ukugcina amanzi ahlanzekile eduze kwezinto zokhuni noma ukusebenzisa amafutha okunakekela izinkuni njalo kungasiza ukugcina ibhalansi yomswakama wezinkuni.
Futhi, izinto zokhuni kufanele ziphathwe ngokucophelela ukugwema imihuzuko ezintweni ezinzima. Ngesikhathi sokusetshenziswa kwansuku zonke, kufanele ziphathwe ngokucophelela, ikakhulukazi lapho zihamba noma zibekwe. Kunconywa ukusebenzisa ama-cushions noma izembozo zokuzivikela ukuze unciphise ukungqubuzana okuqondile. Kufenisha yokhuni esetshenziswa njalo, njengamatafula okudlela noma amadeski, ukusetshenziswa okuvamile kwe-wax yezinkuni noma uwoyela we-walnut kungathuthukisa i-gloss futhi kwakhiwe ungqimba oluvikelayo, ukunciphisa ukuguga kwezinkuni.
Ngamafuphi, ukugcina izinto zokhuni kudinga inhlanganisela yokuhlanza, ukulawulwa kwemvelo, nokugcinwa njalo ukuze kunwetshwe ukuphila kwazo ngokusebenzisa izindlela zesayensi. Ukwazi lezi zindlela ngeke kuthuthukise ukusebenza kwezinto zokhuni kuphela kodwa futhi kuzobonisa kangcono ubuhle bazo bemvelo.
