# How to Protect Your Kembang Semangkok KSK Furniture From Damage
Kembang Semangkok, which is commonly abbreviated KSK, is a type of soft, tropical timber common to Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. Its texture and pliability make it a prized wood in the manufacture of fine furniture. Kembang Semangkok dents and scratches easily and is also susceptible to ultra violet rays and moisture that can cause swelling and cracking.

1
Place furniture in a room away from direct sunlight, which can cause the wood to fade and crack. If furniture is near windows, draw the curtains or use a sheer curtain over the window during the day to prevent the harmful effects of UV rays from damaging the wood.

2
Set up and use a dehumidifier in rooms prone to moisture, such as a basement den or recreation room.
-
3
Place Kembang Semangkok furniture out of the path of doors, such as swinging cabinet doors, and separate from other pieces of furniture in the room. The soft Kembang Semangkok wood dents and scratches easily, leaving lasting damage marks.

Polish your Kembang Semangkok furniture four times a year and dust weekly to prevent buildup of dirt and grime that can damage the finish.
