Looking After Outdoor Furniture
Furniture endows us with comfort but treasuring them from damage requires a lot of care. Whether it's indoor or outdoor furniture, regular cleaning and maintenance is a requisite to retaining the furniture in excellent appearance, and make it last longer.
However
outdoor
furniture
has
a
tendency
to
weather
away
and
decay
owing
to
seasonal
conditions.
Many
people
love
spending
a
considerable
amount
of
time
in
the
gardens
or
courtyard
to
relax
and
have
good
conversation
with
friends
or
have
a
good
meal,
so
it's
vital
to
keep
it
beautiful
and
clean.
Most
importantly,
to
fight
against
some
of
the
foreseeable
havoc
like
dirt,
rot
and
rust
and
damage
from
climatic
elements
like
humidity,
sunshine,
wind,
rain,
fog
and
dust
storms,
outdoor
furniture
requires
proper
precaution
and
care.
If you want to keep your furniture clean and young for years and protect your outdoor living space from grime, dust, rot and rust, here are few simple steps to follow.
Cleaning
is
essential
Make
sure
to
clean
your
furniture
regularly.
Take
a
lot
of
care
to
keep
the
furniture
in
good
condition
or
else
there
are
chances
of
them
getting
damaged
because
of
dirt,
rot
and
grime.
Outdoor
furniture
comes
in
different
kinds
of
materials
and
it
is
compulsory
to
opt
for
a
product
that
is
easier
to
clean
and
wipe
down.
Pick
a
sunny
day
to
clean.
If
there
are
too
many
stains
or
grease
settled
in
your
furniture;
stroke
that
particular
area
using
sponge,
mild
dish
soap
and
water.
Use
the
sponge
to
scrap
the
grime
and
hose
to
wash
down
any
soap
residue.
Always
take
out
the
upholstery
and
cushions
before
you
begin
to
clean.
Wooden
and
metal
outdoor
furniture
can
be
easily
wiped
down
with
the
help
of
a
sponge.
Use
a
brush
or
crevice
tool
on
your
vacuum
to
clean
into
the
crevices
of
the
furniture.
Protect the frames from Sun's rays
Rain, humidity and hot UV radiation from the sun rays are the biggest enemies that can cause major damage to wooden outdoor furniture. UV radiation can fade away the colour of your furniture just like your skin. Protection against these natural elements is important if you want to keep your outdoor furniture looking new. Opt for an outdoor furniture protector, and apply an even coat using a paint brush if your furniture is of metal or plastic. Regular painting is needed to protect the furniture from hot sunny rays. The pigments in the paint are a great way to protect the outdoor wood furniture from ultra- violet rays of the sun.
Protect
upholstery
Do
you
make
sure
to
clean
your
upholstery
on
a
routine
basis?
Upholstery
can
be
treated
and
cleaned
using
mild
soapy
warm
water.
Look
over
all
the
pieces
very
carefully
and
if
you
see
any
kind
of
stains,
treat
them
immediately.
After
giving
a
good
wash
to
your
upholstery
with
a
mild
soap,
make
sure
it
dries
up
immediately.
Spray
each
of
the
pieces
with
fabric
protector
when
the
fabric
is
completely
dry.
Also
double
check
to
see
that
the
fabric
protector
does
not
dis-colour
the
furniture.
Protect the furniture using water repellents
Every day wear and tear and extremes of outdoor weather can take a toll on outdoor living space. Sun and rain can cause some shrinking and few cracks to emerge in the wood. To protect your furniture against humidity damage, apply effective wood stain and water repellents to preserve the original colour of the furniture, and also to prevent water from sinking into it. This lessens extreme decomposing and warping.
Dump
your
furniture
in
a
shed
It
is
impossible
to
predict
the
weather.
During
extreme
weather
conditions,
outdoor
furniture
can
cause
damage
due
to
heat
wave
and
temperature.
It
is
better
to
store
your
furniture
in
a
garage
during
harsh
climatic
conditions,
especially
during
torrential
rain.
Shield
your
furniture
with
vinyl
covers
during
the
night.
During
winters,
if
it
is
not
possible
to
use
vinyl
covers,
then
move
your
wooden
furniture
into
a
storage
shed.
Use
Velcro
A
heavy
wind
can
push
the
cushions
away
and
there
are
chances
of
them
moving
across
to
the
other
side.
You
can
keep
all
the
pieces
in
with
the
help
of
Velcro.
Keep
your
cushions
of
the
chair
attached
with
the
help
of
Velcro.
Make
sure
to
fasten
half
of
the
pieces
into
the
chair
and
secure
the
other
half
with
a
strip
of
Velcro
on
the
bottom
of
the
chair
cushion.
Tips: If the hinges of your outdoor furniture have corroded, then try to replace them with rust proof aluminum pieces.
