Patio Furniture Winter Prep

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.

Wrought iron patio furniture clean and prep:

It is always best if you can put the steel patio furniture sets away in the garage or shed for the winter. If you do not have a place to store the patio furniture and you would like to cover it, just remember to make sure the patio furniture is dry before you cover it.

Plastic tarps often can promote mold growth or will leak, so be careful. We do recommend you bring your cushions in from the outdoors in rainy conditions and for winter storage.

A little rain will not harm your patio furniture cushions, but consistent exposure to rain or winter weather will fade your cushions and shorten their life expectancy.
