It’s about that time of year that most of us are getting ready to prepare and protect our patio furniture. Various types of patio furniture require different cleaning and preparation.

Wood patio furniture clean and prep:

A mild soap and water bath once a week is a good inexpensive way to start your wooden patio furniture care program. Just use a pan of warm sudsy water and a cloth or paper towels.
