Having a beautiful and comfortable set of outdoor furniture can add a lot of color to our outdoor leisure time. However, the outdoor environment is complex, with wind, sun and rain. If you do not pay attention to maintenance, the furniture will easily be damaged and its service life will be greatly reduced. Today I will share with you practical tips for outdoor furniture maintenance.
Wooden outdoor furniture
Wooden furniture has a natural and warm texture, but it is also relatively "delicate". During daily cleaning, wipe gently with a soft damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid using chemically-containing cleaners, which can damage the wood surface. Every once in a while, it is best to apply a layer of wood protective paint (wood wax oil) to the wooden furniture, which can effectively prevent waterproof and ultraviolet rays, and slow down the aging and cracking of the wood. In addition, in severe weather such as winter, try to move wooden furniture indoors to store to prevent long-term exposure to low temperature and humid environments.
Metal outdoor furniture
Metal furniture is durable but prone to rust. After each use, wipe the moisture from the surface with a dry cloth, especially after the rain. If you find slight rust, you can use fine sandpaper to gently polish it off and apply anti-rust paint. During daily arrangement, avoid direct contact between furniture and the floor. You can place rubber pads or plastic pads on the bottom to reduce rust caused by moisture on the floor.
Wicker outdoor furniture
The rattan furniture is light and has a unique style. When cleaning, gently brush with a soft brush to remove dust, and then wipe with a damp cloth. Do not rinse directly with water, otherwise the rattan will easily deform and become moldy. If the rattan furniture is loose, you can use 502 glue, etc. for simple repair. The place where rattan furniture is placed should be kept well ventilated to avoid being too wet.
The maintenance methods of outdoor furniture of different materials are different. As long as we do our best to maintain our care according to their characteristics, we can always keep the outdoor furniture in good condition and accompany us to spend more wonderful outdoor time.
