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:
You can clean your wooden patio furniture with a soft brush and a good wood cleaner available at most hardware stores. Be sure to rinse well and allow to dry thoroughly before applying any finish.
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. Follow up with a pan of clear water and rinse the soap off so that you don’t end up with a soapy film on your wooden patio furniture. Be sure that the surface is dry after washing.
