Dressers Maintenance

Regular maintenance tasks to keep your dressers running efficiently.

Condition wood and check joints

Apply wood conditioner annually to prevent drying and cracking. Check for loose joints at the sides and back panel. Re-glue and clamp any separating joints before they worsen.

Lubricate drawer slides

Apply paraffin wax or dry silicone spray to drawer runners every 6 months. Sticky drawers stress joints and can crack the face frame. For wooden slides, rub with a candle or bar of soap.

Lubricate Drawer Slides

Drawers can stick or squeak over time. Lubrication ensures smooth gliding and prevents track damage.

Verify anti-tip anchor

Check that the wall anchor strap is securely fastened quarterly, especially if children are present. Dressers are the leading cause of furniture tip-over injuries. Replace anchors after any wall repair.
