How to Choose the Most Durable Wood for Outdoor Furniture
April 20, 2024
Regardless of whether the outdoor furniture on your patio or deck is made of wood, aluminum, wrought iron, or plastic, it takes a lot of abuse from the elements, including sun, rain, snow, and extreme temperature changes.
Here are some tips on cleaning and protecting the furniture on your deck or patio to keep it looking like new.
Remove light oxidation by rubbing the surface with a 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and water.
Rub the surface with automotive rubbing or polishing compound to abrade away oxidation.
Clean the surface with dishwashing detergent and water using a plastic scrubbing sponge or very fine steel wool. NOTE: Try first on a hidden area to see if it scratches the aluminum.
Rinse off the cleaning solution with a garden hose, and allow it to dry.
Your furniture isn't the only thing that needs to be cleaned! Those lovely cushions you have get just as dirty, or more because the fabric traps all the grime and dirt.
