Being an increasingly popular trend, the pallet furniture makes a cost effective use of existing wood yet posing an environmental threat. The pallets are durable and reliable to hold large consignments. They are exposed to fungus, water and insects growth but still less dangerous than other furniture. Check the appearance and termite infestation of pallets before purchasing or reusing them for home projects. They can be effectively sanitized through following ways:
• Remove the metal or fixtures from pallets before shaping them into any form of furniture.
• Dry it well in sunlight to kill any fungus and mold infestation.
• Apply the bleach solution to kill the bacterial growth and wash it carefully.
• The top layer must be removed by sanding the surface to have a thorough look.
• The furniture can be sealed with plastic and paint coating for safe and long lasting use.
