Now that the nights are getting longer and the weather is slowly but surely warming up, it's time to turn your attention to potentially long-neglected patio furniture. While alfresco dining with friends in your yard is back in sight, there's no better time to get your gear repaired than now.
How do I clean wooden furniture?
First, make sure that the surfaces are free of dirt.
With a soft brush, brush off the small pieces of dirt stuck in the ridges and grooves with a gentle motion.
Next, take a clean microfiber cloth and some white spirit. If it comes in a spray bottle, spray a medium amount on the cloth and make sure the cloth is adequately covered if it comes in a bottle.
When working with white spirit, make sure that you cover your hands and skin well.
When your wooden furniture is painted, opt for a cleaner with more natural ingredients.
Mix one part warm water, two parts white vinegar and three tablespoons of baking soda.
For both substances, clean the wooden surface as usual and bring the soft bristle brush to particularly dirty or stained areas.
If you want your wooden furniture to look like new, you can treat it with a sealer for extra protection.
You also need to be careful when cleaning your furniture quickly - products like sunscreens can stain wood permanently. So act quickly if something is spilled and never just rub it on the surface.
The best way to care for your patio furniture is to follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Different types of wood react differently to different types of detergents and can be more difficult to maintain.
