Outdoor Furniture Gold Coast
Gold Coast based Sofa Doctor shares tips on how to take care of different types of outdoor furniture?
Nowadays, there are dozens of choices for outdoor patio furniture that will have your outdoor living spaces looking and feeling cosy and welcoming for both you and your guests. There are different types of materials used to make durable outdoor furniture. How to take care of the furniture so that it lasts long?
In general outdoor furniture is designed to withstand the all-weather condition. However, some outdoor furniture materials hold up better in warm, dry climates rather than cold, wet environments. Here’s the full range of patio furniture’s most popular material and how to take care of them:
Wrought Iron - Clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. If you spot rust, clean with mild soapy water, sand the area, then seal with similarly coloured paint
Aluminium - Spray with clear water or a warm foamy mixture to remove dust and dirt. Maintain the finish by touching up chips in colour to avoid oxidation
Resin Wicker - Remove pollen and dirt by spraying with water. Let air dry. If unsure about your furniture’s resistance to sunlight, keep in a shaded area when not in use
Wood - Always use coasters, pads or felt to avoid the appearance of moisture rings and heat marks. Sealing with varnishes or stains can help prevent warping in humid climates. If sealed wood, clean with a mild soapy water mixture to remove dirt, dust and pollen. If painted wood, avoid exposure to moisture, clean with a damp cloth. For untreated wood, keep out of the rain and direct sunlight to preserve quality – clean with a slightly damp cloth
Recycled plastic - It’s easy to clean. Spray with clear water or a mild soapy mixture to remove dust, dirt and pollen.
