A Guide To Cleaning Your Patio Furniture

Cleaning patio furniture is essential to maintain its appearance and longevity. Start by removing cushions and fabric covers for washing. Use a mild detergent and water to clean metal, plastic, or wicker frames. A soft brush or cloth can help scrub away dirt and grime.

For wooden furniture, a wood-specific cleaner is ideal, followed by sanding and sealing if necessary. Rinse all surfaces thoroughly and let them dry completely to prevent mold and mildew growth.

For cushions, check care labels and machine wash or hand wash as appropriate. Air dry completely.

Regular cleaning, especially before winter storage, will extend your patio furniture's life and keep it looking inviting.
