Maintaining Outdoor Furniture

Saturday, July 01, 2017

Outdoor furniture is made from different materials, such as metals, wood, plastics, woven resins, and aluminum—which is light, rust-free and durable. Know the furniture you own and research how to properly clean it for a longer life span.

Polystyrene faux wood is an alternative to wooden outdoor furniture because 163 degrees of the sun’s heat during the summertime can fade wooden furniture and create discoloration.

Plantation-grown wood includes Teak Wood Furniture.

Stainless steel furniture is outdoor safe.

Resin wicker furniture is made from polystyrene, and you can further protect such furniture with covers and cushions which are made with the same material as sun umbrella fabric.

Products for cleaning outdoor furniture include Multiservice Cleaner, Furniture Protectant, Sunbrella Fabric Cleaner, Teak Cleaners, Teak Oil, Beeswax Polish, Bristle Brush, Microfiber cloths, and UV resistance and water resistance covers.
